Field Trip Fun! 🍦🎨🚜
Our K–5th graders from Rutland had an amazing day exploring the SDSU campus! They got a behind-the-scenes look at the Dairy Plant (and yes—there was ice cream!), visited the Agriculture Museum to learn about farming history, and soaked up some creativity at the Art Museum. What a cool mix of learning and fun! 🐄🌽🖌️
ORR Senior Spotlight, the incredible Class of 2025! Each graduate has a unique story of hard work, growth, and perseverance — and we couldn’t be prouder. Their journeys inspire us, and we can’t wait to see where their next chapters lead. 💫
Tomorrow we will have our Awards Program in Rutland. Make sure to stop on by at 1:30PM to catch a small glimpse of the accomplishments these amazing Seniors have worked hard for!

Help us congratulate Mrs. Chambers in her new upcoming role here in the ORR School District!
"Hello ORR families and community!
I’m beyond excited to officially step into the role of PreK–12 Principal here at ORR! After teaching in the district for the past 10 years, this place truly feels like home. I am deeply committed to building on the strong foundation that already exists here, and I look forward to partnering with students, families, staff, and the wider community to create an environment where every student thrives.
A little about me: I’ve been married to my husband, Joe, for 8 wonderful years. We live in Wentworth with our 8-month-old son, George, and our three dogs! ORR is more than where I work—it’s part of my family’s story, and I’m all in on making it the best it can be.
I’m looking forward to working together to support and inspire every learner who walks through our doors. Here’s to an amazing journey ahead—full of growth, success, and Raider Pride!
Let’s do this, ORR!"
– Carly Chambers, PreK–12 Principal
