Staff will guide students through the drill calmly and remind them that they are practicing. We're sharing this in advance so you know what to expect and can talk with your student if they have questions.
Thank you for helping us keep our students and staff prepared and safe.

Science took flight in 3rd grade! As students learn about force and gravity, they put those concepts to the test by building their own hoop gliders and taking them outside to experiment.
Students tried different hoop sizes, throwing techniques, and directions to see how each change affected the glider’s flight. It was a fun, hands-on way to explore how forces impact the motion of an object!

At the September OPSD School Board meeting, the board honored 3 model students and one dedicated educator! These students & staff have shown what it means to do things “The OG Way.” They are risk-takers in and out of the classroom, show grit in all they do, and take ownership of their learning. We are so proud of our September students of the month, Harper Dow (K-2nd Grade), Callen Fisbeck (3rd-5th Grade), Gracee O'Keefe (middle grades), Nevaeh Ramirez (high school), and staff member of the month, Keegan Hoppens! Keep up the great work! We greatly appreciate our community sponsors for donating prizes for these individuals to honor their accomplishments! #OGNation #CultureOfConfidence

OG Nation, please be aware of a phone scam recently reported by several Nebraska school districts.
A caller may claim to be an employee of the school district and say your child is in trouble or involved in an emergency. They may pressure you to stay on the phone, keep the call secret, or go to another location to pick up your child.
If you receive a call like this, hang up and call your child’s school using its published phone number to verify the information. DO NOT rely on the number that called you.
School staff will not ask you to keep a situation secret or meet at an undisclosed, off-campus location to pick up your child. If you receive a suspicious call, please notify the school.
Please share this reminder with other families. Staying aware helps keep OG Nation families safe!

How can we light our way in the dark? 🔦 Mrs. Reynolds’ first graders kicked off their science unit with a treasure hunt for gems in a dark cave! This hands-on activity introduced students to how light helps us see objects in the dark. Our little scientists had a blast exploring! #CultureOfConfidence

1st grade has been about the helpers who keep our community safe! They have recently been learning and discussing how police officers serve and protect our community. Students talked about 911 safety, explored some of the equipment officers use, and even got an up-close look at a police car!
A fun, hands-on way to learn about safety and the important people who help keep us safe. A huge thanks to School Resource Officer Seargant Rowley for visiting our 1st-grade students!
