Welcome to Olanta Elementary School!
OES has a tradition of Bearcat PRIDE where EVERYBODY is a SOMEBODY and all are expected to "Be Respectful! Be Responsible! Be Ready!"
At OES our mission is to “Act Your Best! Do Your Best! Believe! Achieve! Succeed!”
In 2017 and Beyond, OES will “S.A.I.L. Towards Excellence!”
As we gear up for this coming year, we are excited for our students to embark upon a journey with Science & Art Integrated Learning which provide students with global educational experiences through real world, hands-on, project based learning environments that connects the core subject areas (Science, Math, Social Studies, ELA) with the Arts (Arts, Music, Physical Fitness) and Technology. Through this connection, students gain the skills (creative and critical thinking, working collaboratively, and problem solving) necessary to world ready, workforce ready, and/or higher education ready. Through S.A.I.L., students will “Set a New Course” for academic success that provides a unique learning experience which allows them to express their knowledge and understanding of various concepts and skills beyond a paper and pencil aspect.
Excellence in Action: Schools, Parents, Students, & Community Collaborations & Partnerships
Set a course for success with goals and steps to achieve those goals
Acknowledge others (feelings, concerns, suggestions, etc.)
Inspire creativity, collaboration, & critical thinking
Listen to what others are saying through their actions and attitudes; not just their words
