Hello Parents, Students, and Community Members,

Welcome to Orange Park Elementary - the Pride of Orange Park! At OPE, we believe all means all. That every student has the capacity to learn and grow alongside each and every adult present in the classroom or on campus. We take pride in having high expectations for our students and, every day, we work collaboratively to increase achievement by providing students with opportunities focused on relevance, rigor, and applicability. We know that when our students leave OPE, they are prepared to succeed and thrive as they move on to the next chapter of life.

At OPE, honesty, integrity, and respect are three core values embedded in every commitment expected of our students. In this way, we will maximize student potential and promote individual responsibility. Our very existence is to prepare life-long learners for success through use of those commitments and by providing experiences that are motivating, challenging, and rewarding for all of our students.

But our goal of creating life-long learners with these expectations in mind can hardly be accomplished without your unconditional support. Something as simple as working with your student(s) at home, volunteering at OPE, or serving on the PFA or SAC committees can profoundly impact your students' education and development. There is no doubt that the proverbial journey requires all involved and, in cooperation with OPE and the community at large, we can and will continue to create successful students together. As we embark on the beginning of a new school year, know how much your support matters - that every moment with your student is an opportunity for growth and that we at OPE believe every experience can be positively influential and impactful.

I’m excited for the new school year and Go Eagles!
