Join the Orcas Island Elementary staff and community members on Wednesday, October 25, at 5 p.m. in the cafeteria for celebration and support. Dinner and childcare included.
Parents can learn ways to support their students learning through Positive Behavior Intervention and Support (PBIS). PBIS is a system utilized by Orcas Island Elementary School to provide social, emotional, and behavior supports to students that will help improve academic outcomes.

- Essentials for Parenting Pre-schoolers-Amber Paulsen
- The Joy of Reading-Glenda Smith
- Juggling Underwater: Single Parenting & Step Parenting-Sandi Burt
- Playtime with your Kids-Margie Sabine
