Hello - This afternoon I received an auto notice that someone (I have no way of knowing who, or I would reach out just to them) marked our second blood drive email as spam. I apologize if anyone felt that a second notification was too much, but I have to remind EVERYONE that if you mark my email as SPAM or JUNK, you will no longer receive ANY emails from me. This includes not just mass communications, but ANY important school information, including singular emails to you. Please make sure my email, rheck@orangevillecusd.com is not flagged in your email system, so that you continue to receive important notifications regarding your students (including the upcoming report cards). If an email sent is not of interest to you, please delete it instead of blocking me. Thank you.

Yesterday, our 7th grade students attended the annual CareerTec Mall of Life. In this setting, each student was assigned a salary with their job, then had to navigate their life with everyday scenarios including family, work, paying bills, etc. What a learning experience!
