Return of Panther Pride: Our Path, Our OPS
Monday: A Day
SPRING FEVER: As the days get longer and spring sports begin, it can be easy for sleep routines and academic focus to take a back seat. To help families keep students organized, calm, and focused on schoolwork, OPS would like to share resources at GoZen, an online platform designed to support children’s emotional well-being and executive functioning skills. GoZen offers short videos and tools for students and parents on topics such as managing anxiety, improving focus, building healthy routines, and developing organization and study habits. Families can also find guidance on helping children balance busy schedules while staying confident and motivated with their schoolwork. Click HERE and sign in using the username gozenHOME@oradellschool.org and password OPSCircle350.
REMINDER MARCH INTO READING: All month long, OPS will celebrate the joy of reading with special events, themed activities, mystery readers, and fun opportunities to build a love of books both at school and at home. Students are encouraged to participate in our BINGO reading challenge for the chance to earn prizes and attend our annual Reading Camp-In. More information can be found HERE and the BINGO board can be found HERE. Printed BINGO boards are also available in the main office.
KINDERGARTEN REGISTRATION: Kindergarten registration for the 2026-27 school year is open for students who turn five years old by October 1, 2026. Registration information can be found on the front page of the OPS Website: https://www.oradellschool.org/.
