OPSD Calendar Update
We have a few of important calendar changes to share as we head into the spring season!

OPSD will host the Ed Moore Track Invitational that day. To help support the meet, staff will have a teacher work day, and there will be no school for students.
📚 Tuesday, May 12 - SCHOOL WILL BE IN SESSION
Because OPSD will not host district track this year, May 12 will now be a regular school day for students instead of the previously scheduled teacher work day.
Please take a moment to update your calendars. As always, thank you for supporting our students, staff, and the many events that make OG Nation such a special place to be!
