About OES
Opstad Elementary School (OES) was built in 1988 and is named after Edwin R. Opstad, the founder of our school district. There is a spacious library, music lab, art room, gymnasium, multipurpose room with stage, and extra-large interior hallways that are used for supplemental projects, collaboration and tutoring.
Through the district’s technology initiative, classrooms are equipped with tools for engaged learning that include: interactive white boards, document cameras, web-based tools, and sets of mobile devices. The school’s Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports (PBIS) Initiative creates a safe, and supportive learning environment for all students and staff.
