Orangeville School District is now officially on Winter Break! There will be no school from Monday, Dec. 23rd, 2024, through Friday, Jan. 3rd. 2025. School resumes on Monday, January 6th. We hope everyone has a relaxing break and happy holidays!
This is a reminder to the JH/HS families that tomorrow and Friday (12/19 & 20) are semester finals, with a different class schedule. Both days are regular 3:00 dismissal days, and buses run as usual at that time. The only students that are able to leave early on Friday are those who turned in their parent-signed release waiver. There is no early release on Thursday.
Just a reminder to 8th grade parents: Tomorrow night (12/18) there will be an informational meeting regarding the January outdoor education field trip. The meeting starts at 5:30, and we highly encourage each 8th grade student and at least one parent/guardian to attend.
