Goodness it got hot! Sadly, it looks like the mild summer has ended. As the temperatures warm, the calendar turns to August and we head back to school, I hope you found time to rest, relax and recharge.
Every school year brings its unique challenges. Let’s all hope it’s not to the level of last year. There are the inevitable twists and turns a school year brings. But each year is a blessing in the work that we do. The struggles are real, the challenge is hard but the journey is worth it for all the students we impact and all the thousands of interactions that make a difference--even the ones we never know about but they happened.
As you go through the ebbs and flows of this school year, please know and remember that OPSRC is ready to help you in any way. Contact us anytime you need assistance:
Executive Director: Brent Bushey
Deputy Director: Pat McKinstry
Director of Finance: Andy Evans
Director of Communications: Sarah Julian
Director of Technology: Kurt Bernhardt
Director of Legal Services: Terri Thomas
We truly hope this is a special year, and we look forward to sharing in some of it with you.

Fact: Your classroom is full of barriers Every teacher faces a few “elephants” in the classroom. You might refer to them as barriers, distractions or interruptions--things that get in the way of students being fully engaged in their learning. No matter the term you use, though, they require you to reconsider how you relate to and instruct your students and how you manage your classroom.
