Welcome to OES! I am honored to serve as the principal and to be part of a school community that is dedicated to helping every child succeed.

As an educator, I believe that strong relationships are the foundation of a great school. When students feel valued, supported, and encouraged, they are more willing to take risks, embrace challenges, and discover what they are capable of achieving. My goal is for every student who walks through our doors to know they belong and that there are adults here who believe in them.

I also believe that our families are essential partners in education. Together, we can create meaningful learning experiences and celebrate each child's growth, both inside and outside the classroom. Open communication, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to our students make our school stronger.

Our dedicated teachers and staff work tirelessly to provide engaging instruction while nurturing kindness, responsibility, and resilience. Every day, we strive to create an environment where students are challenged to do their best, encouraged to support one another, and inspired to become lifelong learners.

Thank you for trusting us with your children! It is a privilege to be part of their educational journey, and I look forward to celebrating their successes alongside you. Whether you are a returning family or new to our campus, I hope you will stay connected and get involved.

I am excited for all that we will accomplish together and look forward to a wonderful year of learning, growth, and community. The standard starts at OES!

With gratitude,

Mrs. Mankins
Principal
