Mission
The mission of the Orange Public Schools is best captured by this statement:
The faculty and staff will ensure that all children will achieve academic excellence in a safe and supportive environment in order for them to become life-long learners. Shared Beliefs
The Orange Public Schools are committed to the belief that a safe and supportive learning environment recognizes and respects the uniqueness of each individual. We believe that all children can and will learn the necessary skills to be contributing members in a global society, and that ongoing assessment of student work drives curriculum, instruction, and professional development. We believe that the education of each child is a shared responsibility of every member of our learning community, and that school, family, and community partnerships are essential to student learning and achievement.
Schools
Our four schools – Mary L. Tracy School, The Peck Place School, Race Brook School, and Turkey Hill School – each have extraordinarily dedicated administrators, teachers, and staff. Our elementary program provides all children with a strong foundation in language arts, mathematics, social studies, and science. All students receive instruction in art, music,physical education and Spanish. Each school provides a rich environment conducive to learning within the context of a very supportive school community.
District Office
Our district office staff is a collection of high achieving persons who work diligently to handle the day-to-day operations of the school district while always eager to respond to questions and concerns. Welcome to Orange! Tim James
