Welcome to Orrville Elementary!

As the new Principal of Orrville Elementary School, I am incredibly excited to join the Orrville Red Riders team and begin this journey with such a dedicated and caring school community. It is an honor to serve in a building where the mission is clear: to provide every student with a nurturing environment that prioritizes character education and the highest quality academic instruction.

As someone who has served in K–12 administrative roles, I deeply understand the importance of each instructional moment. Every day presents new opportunities to help students grow academically, socially, and emotionally. I believe in using those moments to inspire joy in learning and to ensure all students leave Orrville Elementary with the confidence and skills they need for the future path they choose.

We also recognize that education is most powerful when it is a partnership. At Orrville Elementary, we believe the parent-school relationship is critical to student success. When home and school work together to create a secure and positive environment, students thrive. We are committed to open communication and invite you to call, email, ask questions, and become involved in our events, activities, and our active PTO.

As the only elementary school in the district, we have the distinct privilege of being our students’ very first school experience. We take that responsibility seriously and work every day to make it meaningful and memorable. It is our goal to provide the very best education for every student—and to make sure their first steps into learning are filled with joy, curiosity, and success.

Our website is designed to be a helpful resource for parents, keeping you informed about all that’s happening at Orrville Elementary. I look forward to a wonderful school year full of growth, collaboration, and celebration.

It all starts here!

Warmly,
Mrs. Sara Crooks
Principal, Orrville Elementary School
