Faculty, Staff, Parents, and Community Members,
Construction is moving along and changing daily. At Olpe, only a few areas were not touched by construction/upgrades this summer. Our custodial staff will not have complete access to all areas until August 12. It requires approximately 1 week to clean, prep, wax, and finish tile flooring. We have several areas that are dusty and require extra work before occupancy.
Therefore, we will start school Monday, August 26 in all USD 252 attendance centers. I appreciate all that our summer work crews have accomplished and the tasks yet in front of us!
Teachers: report on regularly scheduled days and please pay attention to the schedules from Mr. Hes and Mr. Clark!

Have a great day/week!
