Our OPS preschool, kindergarten and 1st grade students had a special visitor today!
Our OPS Website Now Has a New Look!
We have received a lot of great feedback since launching the new ops125.net website last year and we continue to make progress in sharing more of what makes OPS the place to be. We now have additional items like a Spotlight where we will highlight students and staff, an easier to navigate website menu, a place to highlight district successes and facts and more. We're really proud of our Bulldog family and this is a true reflection of that!
Check it out at www.ops125.net!
