Dear OHS Families,

We had a wonderful opening to the school year here at OHS!! It was great to see all of our learning community come together and have children’s laughter back in our classrooms! Thank you for your continued support of Orchard Hills School! Please enjoy the following slideshow of new staff and staff that are in new roles. We hope this helps families become more familiar with the team at OHS.

Enjoy the long weekend and we will see everyone on
