Principal's Message

Welcome to Oropeza Elementary, Home of the Sea Otters!  Oropeza is a great place to learn!  Our goal as a school is to meet the needs of every student exemplified through our dictum "Work hard, learn, and get smarter every day!"  This displays the dedication, determination, and spirit of our students and staff!  Our school provides students with an instructional program focused on the Common Core Standards and preparing students for College and Career.  Our teachers and staff provide a safe and caring environment where students can grow and learn to achieve at the highest level. The following Student Guidelines for Success will help create a culture on campus that is positive and rewarding:  

• Be Kind
• Be Helpful 
• Be Respectful
• Be a Hands Off
• Be a Friend

Also as a reminder...Attendance has a strong relationship with overall academic success. We ask that students come to school on time every day. Students should be in line at the first bell at 7:55am.  Every minute is valuable and minutes become hours and days when you add up those tardy minutes!  We appreciate your support with getting your child to school on time!  Be great! Don't be late!

Please visit our school website for additional information related to schedules, calendar for the year, and visitation procedures.

We are partners in the growth and learning of your child.  Every child is important to us!  I am looking forward to a year full of learning, achievement, and smiles! Go Sea Otters!  Remember..."Work hard, learn, and get smarter every day!"
