Welcome Back! We are excited to welcome new and returning families to Orangewood and the 2009-2010 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. Over the past four years, our Academic Performance Index (API) scores have risen over 103 points! Our API is 819!
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 held quarterly, called SFA Café. During SFA Café, 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 2009-2010 school year begins August and ends the second week of June on the 10th. The school day starts at 7:55 a.m. and runs until 2:08 p.m. Our school office is open daily 7:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Morning playground supervision begins at 7:45 a.m.
