Starting today, April 23 until May 29, you can enroll your student for next school year. It's fast and easy! In addition, new this year, we will also be pre-enrolling new Kindergarteners! Yay!

Please go to https://www.asdk12.org/schools/enrollment to enroll your child. This is extremely helpful to the office staff, and it will also assist us in planning for next year. If you are not returning to Orion next year, we are sorry to see you go. Please let your child's classroom teacher know so that we will not be looking for enrollment from your family.

🏫✨ Have you seen the fish tank in the atrium hallway recently? Or maybe your student has been asking for quarters to bring to school? We're excited to announce our "Quarter in the Tank" game as part of our PTA End of Year BINGO celebration! 🎉

Located in the atrium, this fun game gives you a chance to win prizes by dropping a quarter into one of the jars! We have easy, medium, and hard jars, so no matter your skill level, you can give it your best shot!

Thank you for your continued support!
