All of our back to school information can be found below. Please read this post in its entirety and be sure to follow the instructions.

If you haven’t already, please print and fill out the necessary forms and return them to the school office on the “Forms Drop Off Days”, August 15th and 16th.

This is not something parents request-it is done automatically by address. If you wish to decline either AM or PM bus service for the 2024-2025 school year, FILL OUT THIS FORM ASAP.**If you do not decline bus service and live in Orland School District 135, we will send your K-8 child (ren) home on the bus. This form must be filled out if you do not want us to send your K-8 child(ren) home from school on the bus.** District 135 will provide specific route and time details next week. We will get that information to families as soon as we receive it. Please reach out to Mrs. Morrissey at [email protected] with any questions.
