Tuesday was a busy night at OPS! From our Family Turkey Trot to Pumpkin Pie with the Principals, the evening was filled with school spirit and meaningful connections. One school. One community. One OPS family! 🐾

They came, they hiked, they rolled down Deer Hill, they built, they explored, and most importantly, they bonded!
The 50th OPS fifth grade group to experience the Sharpe Reservation tradition made memories, strengthened friendships, and added their own chapter to a tradition that has been part of OPS for generations. What an adventure! 🌲 #OutdoorClassroom #CampMariah #EveryStepMatters

🚌🍂 Let the adventures begin! 🌲🐾 A big thank-you to our 6th graders who helped pack the buses for our 5th graders' overnight Outdoor Classroom Learning adventure! Of course, a few of them tried to sneak aboard for another trip, but we reminded them that it's the 5th graders' turn!
Wishing our 5th graders an amazing adventure filled with learning, laughter, and memories that will last a lifetime!

Friday Halloween Parade . . Saturday Halloween . . . Sunday Time Change . . . It may feel like you've been traveling through the Haunted Forest, but tomorrow it's back home to OPS where the adventure continues! Get a good night's sleep. It will be a little darker when you get up, but the late bell still rings at 8:35! #LoveOurOPSFamily #NoPlaceLikeOPS #MakeEveryStepCount

Our Panthers are ready for a frightfully fun Halloween parade! 🐾
🎃 The parade kicks off at 2:05 PM with our littlest ghosts and goblins in PreK/K and will wrap up around 2:35 PM.
👻 We'll be making our best creepy-crawly walk around Memorial Field!
⚠️ Please avoid standing along Prospect Avenue. You'll have a much better view from other areas around Memorial Field!
🧡🖤 We can't wait to see all our little monsters, superheroes, princesses, and everything in between!
Happy Halloween from OPS!

It was a beautiful morning to come together as a community for the Oradell 5K and Fun Run. We loved seeing our staff and students together outside the classroom, supporting the Oradell Kids Foundation and the Oradell Fire Department. #PantherPride #SomeRunSomeWalk #MakeEveryStepCount @oradellkids @oradellfire

🎲 Buddy Board Game Day was a favorite part of OPS's Week of Respect! Students connected with buddies from other classes to play, laugh, take turns, cheer each other on, and practice being good teammates. Sometimes building community is as simple as sitting down together and playing a game. 🐾

This is what growing up at OPS looks like. 💛
Once, our 6th graders were the ones walking these halls for the very first time. Today, they’re the ones holding a hand and helping our newest Panthers feel like they belong.
From kindergarten to 6th grade - look how far they grow. 🐾

As a reminder, students will need to power down and store all personal internet-enabled devices in their backpacks for the duration of the school day. Please make sure to review this expectation with your child. #AlmostTime #LoveANewSchoolYear #MakeEveryStepCount
