Orion Oaks Elementary School

Posted October 21, 2009

I don't understand why the bike rack is behind the school. A child has to pretty much walk his bike quite an extra distance past all the kids loading / unloading from the buses (which happens all at once) and then in the mornings come back around to the front of the building. There is also a lot of gravel on the ramp from the safety path. Wondering how there can be so much litter as well.

I have two children in Orion Oaks. The principal is incredibly involved, has excellent leadership skills, the children have great respect for him and adore him at the same time. He works well with his staff and strives to keep the school one step ahead of the rest. The school is not for every child - this is a multi-age school. Children that thrive here are more independent and do not need to have the typical structure that is found in traditional schools. There are no desks in Orion Oaks, but tables where children sit in groups. The teachers give weekly updates via e-mail, my children's grades are available to me at any given moment - detailed information down to yesterday's classroom work is given. I am proud that my children attend this school, I would not have it any other way.

Being a new family with a very young kinder, we feared sending our child off to school. I cannot believe how terrific the entire experience has been. The parent involvement is encouraged though not required (any support one can extend is esteemed). I cannot contemplate how welcome I feel every time I attend anything at the school! There is not adequate room here to summarize my contentment with the faculty. It is easy to perceive why they are such a well oiled machine when you meet the principal. He somehow establishes an environment where everyone feels right at home. At the same time it is made certain that the student's security is number one. No one, not even parents who are consecutively volunteers, is authorized to just wander in without signing in as well as wearing a nametag. I am so pleased with Orion Oaks elementary school.
