Today was a full day of learning and preparing for the year ahead. Thank you to the PTA for starting us off with breakfast and the OEA for feeding us lunch. We can't wait for tomorrow when our hallways and our classrooms are once again filled with students! #ReadyToGo #PantherPride #LoveOurOPSFamily

As we prepare to welcome staff back tomorrow, the reason we are ready to open is because of these five individuals. They interviewed, hired and provided orientation to new staff, worked on operational changes, updated curriculum, and when they thought they would have a day to rest . . . they found themselves painting panther paws to help our new kindergartners find their way around the school. #PantherPride #LoveOurOPSFamily #Grateful #Wasn'tInTheInterview

As we gear up for a new school year, let's take a moment to reflect on how lucky we are to work and learn in one of the most beautiful school buildings around. We have a dedicated gym, library, art room, STEAM lab, music rooms and a recently renovated auditorium. Special thanks to our custodial crew for getting us ready to open next week. #PantherPride #Grateful #LoveOurOPSHome #ShinyFloors=September

The humidity was a wee bit high. The grass was a wee bit wet. However, it will always be one of our favorite days each year. There is nothing quite like an OPS Commencement Ceremony. From the ringing of the original school bell to the 6th graders joining together one more time in song, the tradition continues. #PantherPride #LoveOurOPSFamily #HelloRiverDellMS

Another Friday . . . another opportunity for OPS and OPD to join together for an event. We were thrilled to gather outside for a parade for Chief Liam and a lucky few students were able to see our Chief for a Day be sworn in at Borough Hall. #LoveOurOPSFamily #GreatDayForAParade

Curious about how the geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and/or atmosphere interact? Find a fifth grader, and they will teach you all about it. Today, they used models to share their knowledge with fifth grade families. #PantherPride #SuperScientists #EngagedLearning

There was so much to love about our May Board of Education meeting where we recognized retiring staff members, staff members reaching OPS anniversary milestones and our 2025 Educator of the Year. Students came to the podium to share stories about their teachers. Former OPS teachers returned to join in the celebration. Families of our staff members were able to be part of our OPS family for the night. It was a night to remember! #PantherPride #LoveOurOPSFamily #StrongRootsGrowAtOPS #WayOfThePanther #BestBoardMeeting
