Oran R-III School District

1st grade's “Soaring Eagle” from last week was Conway Uhrhan! Our behavior goal this week was: cleaning up after ourselves, and Conway always makes sure to get his area cleaned up by the end of they day! Conway will get to bring our classroom eagle home with him this evening! 🦅 💙

October 30, 2025 from 1:00–3:00 PM, we will host an Impaired Driving Assembly presented by the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

Please note, there will be a heavier police presence on campus during this time — this is part of the scheduled event. We just wanted to make everyone aware in advance.

Thank you for your understanding and support as we continue to provide important safety education for our students.

Mrs. Seyer's kindergarten class has been working on letter formation, rhyming and site words. These skills are helping them prepare to read. While they are in the library, they are learning how to handle books, understand context through illustrations and pictures, along with how to share the best part of their books with friends!

FCCLA is ready for Kids Feeding Kids. We have prepared 250 servings of Chicken Fried Rice to pass out to our families after your parent/teacher conference today from 2-7 pm. Stop by the cafeteria to get your free meal cooked with kindness.

Mrs. Schlosser's second grade class regularly visits the library to select new books. This class has done an excellent job of creating an environment where they share their favorite books and even make book suggestions for their classmates.

A big thank you to the Scott County Sheriff’s Department for their generous donation of school supplies! Your support of our school and students is truly appreciated and helps make a positive impact.

Today is the first day of the 2nd quarter and we already have an AR goal met! Way to go, Rorie!

Several of our sophomores, juniors, and seniors are getting ready to boost their ACT scores — and increase their chances for scholarship dollars — by learning proven test-taking strategies from the knowledgeable team at ACE Tutoring.

1st and 2nd grade had a great time at the Perryville Pumpkin Farm! Students were educated on the life cycle of pumpkins and what crops and livestock go into making the foods we eat.

Reminder: Pickup for pork butt orders will take place tomorrow (Saturday, 10/18) from 6-7pm in the high school lobby.

We had an incredible time at FCA Fields of Faith 2025. We are grateful for a night of worship, testimonies, and community.

This week’s “Soaring Eagle” in 1st grade is Leighton Friga! Our behavior goal this week was: using our classroom materials the right way, and Leighton always makes good choices when working in and outside of the classroom! She gets to take our classroom Eagle home for the weekend! 🦅 💙

Our high school volleyball team raised $1,190.37 for breast cancer research during our annual Pink Out Game! Thank you to everyone who donated, cheered, and wore pink to show your support. 🏐🎀

The library is not just a place to find your next great read. Dual-enrolled high school students utilize the space to knock out college homework. High school students took a brain break today to listen to 4th grade students read aloud before taking an AR test. Some of the high schoolers took time to make recommendations to the young readers.

Learning physics with toys! Mrs. Daniel's physics students made use of matchbox cars and track to reinforce their knowledge of linear motion. Students looked at how mass affects velocity and acceleration over a three meter track. They used their data to create a line graph of acceleration for two cars.

Just a reminder about the upcoming ACT Blitz hosted by ACE Tutoring at Oran High School on October 20th. It is open to all OHS students in grades 10-12.

Students must register directly with ACE Tutoring—the school will not handle registrations. This ensures the process runs smoothly and that ACE provides enough materials for all participants.
You can register using the QR code on the flyer.

Mrs. Daniel will be supervising the event. Please email her if you have any questions.

We do have limited funds available to assist students who would like to attend but may be facing financial hardship. If this applies to you, please see Dr. Trankler or Mrs. Smith for more information.

🦅 💙 This week's “Soaring Eagle of the week” was Emersyn Scherer!! She is always making great, smart choices and is a greta example of how we SOAR in first grade! Emersyn gets to get her photo on our “Eagle Gram” in the hallway and take home our classroom eagle Talon Swift for some adventures over the weekend! Our behavior goal this week was: Walk nicely in the hallways and in the classroom.

It was a big day for our varsity volleyball team as they brought home the championship title at the Charleston Blue Jay Invitational Tournament. 🏐🏆. We are proud of their hard work and determination! #OranPride #schoolhistory
