Attention CLASS OF 2020:

Do you want to leave your mark on ORHS?  Do you want to leave Wildcat nation better than we found it in 2016?  Mrs. Thompson is forming a Principal’s Advisory Team of students from the class of 2020 to meet with her once a month to problem solve challenges facing our school.  If you would like to be a part of this team and have lunch together once a month having honest dialogue, please fill out a the form in your Skyward account or the Google form in your email.  (8/20-8/24) – S.

Want to learn how to create and edit your own digital music?  Come by the library and ask how! (8/20, 8/24, 8/27) – C. Milloway

Super exciting news!  Your library now has two black and white printers and two color printers.  Two important things to remember:  to print in color, you MUST choose SECURE_PRINT_COLOR.  Also, once you scan your badge at a reader, the print job is gone, even if it doesn’t print.  So if you scan your badge at a printer that isn’t printing for some reason, like if it is out of paper, you’ll need to print it again before scanning your badge at a printer that is working.  (8/20, 8/22, 8/24) – C. Milloway
