Orangeville CUSD 203 -

Good evening! The water leak outside the high school has been repaired. The drinking water has been tested and the water is safe to drink; therefore, your child does not need to bring his/her own water bottle but he/she may do so if he/she would like to do so. Thank you to the Village of Orangeville and Director Guy for the quick turnaround. Lastly, please dress warm this week with hats, gloves, coats and boots! Thank you! Superintendent Katzenberger
