First OPRFHS Visitation Day Tomorrow

Each year OPRFHS has two visitation days during which parents can visit
and observe classrooms during the school day. While the high school
only promotes this to parents of current high school students, it is
open to everyone in the community. Everyone is welcomed. They do
prefer that you call ahead so that they can send you a packet with the
schedules, etc but it is possible to go even if you have not called
ahead. The days this year are:

September 28, 2006

March 7, 2007

This is an excellent opportunity for parents of students with IEPs to
begin learning about the high school and the options that may be
discussed at your child's 8th grade IEP meeting. Please note -
most if not all IEPs are completed before the second visitation date so
if you are an 8th grade parent we strongly encourage you to go to the
September visitation day. Also, 7th and even 6th grade parents should
also think about participating. It's never to early to start
gathering information.

Some classes you might want to observe:

Academic strategies - previously referred to as "resource room"
REI classes - these are co-taught classes with one general education
and one special education teacher
Any class you think your student might be taking

If you contact the high school ahead of time the packet they mail you
will include a schedule of all classes, a parking pass, and a lunch
voucher (along with a map of the school!). Coffee, doughnuts, and
administrators are generally available throughout the day in the Board
Room (#213) . You can come for an hour or two or for the whole day.
