Dear Ordway Families,
As the winter break approaches, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the support, dedication, and positivity that make Ordway such a special place. Together, we have accomplished so much this year, and it is inspiring to see the growth and joy in our children every day.
During this time of celebration and reflection, I encourage everyone to cherish time with loved ones, rest, and recharge. Let’s look ahead to the new year with hope, determination, and a continued commitment to learning and kindness.
On behalf of our Ordway staff, enjoy your vacation with family and friends, and best wishes for a happy, healthy New Year!
Warmest regards,
Debra

A reminder - there is a safer, quicker way to drop off your child at school in the morning. The district driveway on the south side of Ordway! See the map below.
Pull in, wait a short time (if at all) drop your child off and they are greeted at the south door.
If you are using the Ordway parking lot - park in designated spaces ONLY. Do not block cars by parking behind them, or parking on curbs, or in handicap spaces. When you do, you create a hazard for others.
Please if at all possible, encourage your child to ride the bus routinely with drop off/pick up as the exception.
