Thank you so much for your patience as we have been dealing with congested traffic on campus. We know this has been an inconvenience for many families, and we have made a few small changes that have sped up the process for both drop off and pick up. We are also currently consulting with an architect to come up with a more permanent solution for our traffic challenges. We appreciate your understanding as we ensure that traffic moves safely around campus. Have a great day!

Good afternoon, Mustang Family! We had an amazing first day of school, and it was so wonderful to see all our students back on campus! We wanted to inform you that we have a new software program we will be utilizing for checking students out at all four sites. You will be required to scan your drivers license at the kiosk in each office in order to check your student out. This will help us ensure the safety and security of all our students. Thank you!

Good morning, Mustang families! Tomorrow is the big day! We are so eager to welcome our kindergarten through twelfth grade students back to school for the 2024-2025 school year. It is going to be the best year ever at OTPS! Just a couple of reminders for you before we get started: 1. Traffic is going to be very congested for the first few days of school, especially at the Upper Elementary and High School. Please be sure that you are using the northmost entrance into campus if you need to drop off or pick up students from either of those buildings. Please have patience and be sure to allow extra time to travel around campus so that we can ensure safety for everyone at all sites! 2. Please be sure that you have discussed our new cell phone policy with your students. If you need to review the policy, it can be found on our website. 3. If you have not yet filled out your Free and Reduced Lunch application, you can find it on your parent portal. If your child will be in pre-k, we will look forward to welcoming them on Friday morning for their first day! The first day of school is truly magical, and we can't wait to see so many smiling faces this week!

Good afternoon, Mustang family! We are trying to determine whether we have the need to add an additional class of Pre-K for the 2024-2025 school year.

Your name will be added to a waiting list, and you will be contacted if an additional class is offered.

Good morning, Mustang families! Unfortunately, we are going to close school for a snow day today. While there are portions of our district that have clear roads, there are many roads that are still unsafe for buses and teen drivers. We understand that it is inconvenient for school to be closed another day, but the safety of our students and staff are our top priority. Since this is a snow day, no work will be sent for students. Thank you for your understanding, and stay safe!
