Orangeville CUSD 203 -

Yesterday, our 4th and 5th grade classes went on a field trip to the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago. It was a long day, but we had a great time learning and seeing all the displays. Thank you to our teachers and the chaperones for making it a great day!

Hello "peeps"! Just a reminder that there is no school at Orangeville School District tomorrow (4/7/23) due to teacher institute, and no school on Monday (4/10/23) either! We hope our families have a safe and enjoyable four-day weekend!

Happy Paraprofessional's Day! Thank you to all our paraprofessionals, our district and students could not do what we do without you!

The Village would like us to remind everyone that the streets north of the fields, especially the road immediately adjacent, is a posted no parking area and tow zone. These streets must remain passable to an emergency vehicle. If you attend a game, please park in the school lots.

Nothing else to do after checking out the cool planetary alignment this evening? Might we suggest watching the Orangeville sketch comedy / improv performance of 'The Show Must Go On, Part Deux' from Friday, March 10th, again? Here is the YouTube link: https://youtu.be/Gs31bdseSpQ

FHN would like us to remind everyone that if your child is entering Kindergarten, 6th, or 9th grade this fall, they will need a school physical, and you can begin scheduling those physicals to avoid the big rush as we get closer to fall registration.

If you are an Orangeville school district parent and have not yet taken the 5Essentials survey, it would be very helpful if you could take it by the end date of March 31st. The survey is school-specific (GS/JH/HS), so if you have children in more than one level, you can complete it for each level. Thank you.
