Vision Statement

In order for children to succeed, we support a partnership between family and school. With collaboration from staff, parents, community and students, Orchard Farm Elementary will create a safe, supportive, child-centered learning environment.

Our belief that all children can learn leads us to provide differentiated, research based learning opportunities to enhance student potential. Exposing students to engaging curriculum is the guiding force in the development of students’ skills and abilities.

Principal's Corner

Orchard Farm Elementary School is proud to announce seven members of the Elementary Chorus were selected to participate in the Saint Louis Suburban Music Educators Association 5th and 6th Grade Honors Choir. This all day event will be held at McCluer High School on Saturday, April 17th. The Honors Choir is made up of over 100 students from the Saint Louis metropolitan area. They will spend the day rehearsing with a guest conductor and a concert for family, friends, and community members will be held that afternoon. Congratulations to our Honor Choir representatives: Rachael Kearns, Adria Domko, Haley Stockton, Nicole Coffman, Tyler Woosencraft, Kelli Gorman, and Austin Drechshage. The Orchard Farm community is proud of you!

Again this year, student art work will be on display at The Foundry Art Centre in downtown Saint Charles from March 24th-April 12th. The Orchard Farm School District will host a reception at The Foundry on Sunday, April 11th from 1-3pm. This is a great opportunity for the community to view student work and enjoy musical performances from choral and instrumental groups from all three of our district schools. We hope you can join us for this great event!

Character Education

March's word: Honesty

The character word for this month is "Honesty". Honesty is always being truthful and sincere.

Each month we will highlight a different character education word/trait and teachers will incorporate it into discussions and activities in their classrooms. Please discuss these words with your children and talk about the importance of each trait in your life and family.
