Check out what is happening at Orange Hunt:
What a joyful celebration of music! Our Band and 6th Grade Chorus filled the room with energy, confidence, and beautiful sound today. The talent and hard work of our students truly shined and made it a perfect way to celebrate the week. We can’t wait to be inspired again at the Strings and 5th Grade Chorus concert on Friday. Bravo to our amazing musicians!

Early Release Wednesdays
Our lists of students staying for childcare hardship have been finalized. Parents may not opt-in to staying any longer as we have set our staffing needs based on family responses. Parents can opt to have their children leave at 12:30 p.m. by calling the school prior to the next early release day – doing so will change your status for ALL the remaining early release days.
For students staying after 12:30 p.m., please limit picking your child up early between 12:30 and 3:30 p.m. to appointments only.
As a reminder, the following is a list of the remaining early release days this school year. Students are provided a lunch break prior to dismissal.
