First Day of School, Early Dismissal

Wednesday, August 29 is the first day of school in Orange.
Due to the oppressive heat and humidity, and uncomfortable conditions in classrooms, Orange schools will have early dismissal for the comfort and safety of students and staff.
So, parents, be prepared to make arrangements for your children, as they will be coming home earlier than you’d anticipated.
Be sure your children have water and know to stay hydrated during this heat wave. Remember ice cold water bottles will sweat and the condensation will pool up on their desks if they are allowed to have them in the classroom. Pack a paper towel or an insulated “cozy” to keep the water from gettingĀ hot or leaving a puddle on the desk.
Hang in there everyone, the Autumnal Equinox is only 25 days away.
