Tuesday, September 5, 4 – 6 p.m., School Maple Tree

— from Orcas Island School District —

Orcas School District is working with the Parents, Teachers, and Students Association to throw our families a BBQ/Party the afternoon before the first day of school to make the transition as smooth as possible for our students.

This is an opportunity to introduce your child to their new teacher and familiarize them with their new routines.

  • Eliminate the last minute paperwork scramble by completing Free/Reduced Lunch forms and anything you might have missed.
  • Get direct answers to your questions from teachers and administrators.
  • Drop off your child’s supplies to their classroom so they don’t have to lug too much on the bus their first day.

Representatives from Orcas community support organization will be there, too.

Hot dogs (veggie, too) will be served along with lemonade and cotton candy. Students are also invited to visit the Bounce House.
