Happy Summer Everyone!!!

Thank you to everyone who came to our reverse parade last Friday.  It was wonderful to be able to see so many of our students.  We miss you all!

I would like to remind you of our summer office hours.  They are Tuesdays from 9:00am – 12:00pm.  If you were not able to pick up the contents of your students desk, or if you are missing a jacket or two, you will be able to pick those things up during this time.  Please return chromebooks to the office.

Also, if you have moved,  please email Kim Strong ([email protected]) with your updated address.  

I hope you all have a wonderful and safe summer.

Good Afternoon OES Cubs,

This is a reminder that this is the week that we will be passing out the contents of student’s desks. We will be doing this on the following days from 9:00am-11:00am.

May 20 – Families with last names from A – H

May 21 – Families with last names from I – P

May 22 – Families with last names from Q-Z

We will have tables and teachers in the back of the school’s east parking lot. Parents will enter through the far north entrance (closest to the dumpsters). Teachers will be organized by grade level starting with Kindergarten.

Teachers will be wearing masks and gloves as they pass you the contents of your child(children’s) desk.

We will also be collecting Chromebooks these days as well. Mrs. Carter will be at the end of the line.

We are still collecting Home Reading and Library books. The bin will be in the back of the school during our pick up times on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and then placed back in the front of the school for continued collection.

School lunch will not be served on Monday, May 25th (Memorial Day). There is no school on this day as well. The final day that Orem Elementary will be serving lunch is Tuesday, May 26, 2020.

The talent show will be found on our specialties Google classroom.

May 29th is our last day of school. We have scheduled a reverse parade that will take place on this day from 9:30am -11:30am. We invite you to drive by our school and say a final goodbye to your teachers before our summer vacation officially begins. More information will be coming next week with a map.

I hope to see you this week when you’re picking things up.

Have a great week.

Good Afternoon OES Cubs,

Orem Elementary will be continuing with our online school until the end of school. School assignment deadlines will be May 19th. We will still be communicating and reaching out to our families until the last day of school. We really miss you all, and want to keep things as normal as possible.

Here is what is happening this week at OES:

Tomorrow afternoon(After 1:00pm), Tuesday, May 12, 2020 through Friday, May 15, 2020 teachers will have placed yard signs on the lawn in front of the school with their names on them. You and your family are invited to walk through the signs and if you would like, you can write a message on the back of the sign or place a letter in the ziplock bag that will be attached to the signs. The signs will be placed 6 feet apart for social distancing purposes.

Don’t forget to submit your talent entries for the talent show by tomorrow:

OES Talent Show

May 18th- 19th – The virtual talent show will be posted in google classrooms.

May 20th – 22nd from 9:00am – 11:00am will be the day that we schedule for students to pick up the contents of our student’s desks. Please see the following schedule:

May 20 – Families with last names from A – H

May 21 – Families with last names from I – P

May 22 – Families with last names from Q-Z

This will be a drive through held at the back of the school. Teachers will have student supplies by grade level, so you can pick up all of your children’s contents at once. Teachers and aides will bring the supplies to your car. We are hoping we can expedite this as quickly as possible.

May 29th is our last day of school. We have scheduled a reverse parade that will take place on this day from 9:30am -11:30am. We invite you to drive by our school and say a final goodbye to your teachers before our summer vacation officially begins. More information will be coming in the following weeks. We just wanted you to know now. We are hoping to see as many OES cubs as possible!

We appreciate your support and hard work during this adjusted teaching.
