Orangewood School Home

Welcome

Welcome to Spring!  We are excited to welcome new and returning families to Orangewood and the 2012-2013 school year.

At Orangewood School we strive to encourage our students to be responsible, respectful, safe and prepared.  Our challenging curriculum focuses on increasing student achievement while providing a safe, student friendly atmosphere.  Our estimated API (Academic Performance Index) increased to 876 this year! 


Research shows that students who read every day become better readers and are more successful in school. Please encourage your child(ren) to READ! READ! READ!  Students who participate in reading 20 minutes nightly are invited to an exciting celebration called Reading Reward Rally. During this Reading Reward Rally, students are treated to music, refreshments and can win special prizes all of which are funded by our PTA.

Our school year lasts 184 days.  The 2012-2013 school year begins August 16, 2012 and ends the first week of June on June 7, 2013.  The school day starts at 7:45 a.m. and runs until 2:08 p.m.  Our school office is open daily 7:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m.
