📢 Arrival & Dismissal Reminder

Parents, we apologize for the confusion surrounding our arrival and dismissal procedures. Thank you for being so patient as we work to streamline the process and make arrival and dismissal as safe and efficient as possible.

🌅 Morning Drop-Off
HS, PreK, Kindergarten & PATH students: Drop off at the front of the school. Siblings will go with the youngest student’s grade level. For example, if a 2nd grader has a PreK sibling, both students will be dropped off at the front.
1st–5th grade students: Drop off at the back of the school.

🚗 Afternoon Pickup
HS, PreK, Kindergarten & PATH students + their siblings: Pick up at the back of the school.
1st grade: Pick up in the lower parking lot.
2nd–5th grade: Pick up at the front of the school.
Siblings: Siblings will go with the youngest student’s grade level for afternoon pickup as well.

🚨 Important Pickup Reminder

For the safety of all students, parents may not walk up to the school for dismissal after 2:30 PM. After 2:30 PM, you must use the appropriate car line for your child's grade level.

If your child has a doctor’s appointment or another reason that requires an early pickup, please plan to pick them up before 2:30 PM.

Thank you for your patience, cooperation, and understanding as we work together to make arrival and dismissal run smoothly! 🦁💙

Today we’re celebrating our ORR-mazing principal, Mr. Harbour! 🦁

Mr. Harbour is a true leader—always present for our students and staff, leading with heart, dedication, and a positive spirit. Whether he’s cheering on our ORR Lion Cubs, supporting teachers, or even taking a pie to the face for a good cause, he shows us what it means to lead by example.

Thank you, Mr. Harbour, for being an ORR-mazing principal every single day and for always roaring by example for our school community.

Today was made even sweeter as we celebrated our grad walks, and some of his Tyler High Lions were able to share in this special day with him too. What a meaningful moment to see past and present Lions come together in celebration!

We are grateful for all you do for Orr Elementary and for the impact you make on our students each and every day. 💙💛
