It is with great excitement and gratitude that I welcome you to Orangewood Elementary School! My name is Desiree Kindig, and I am honored to serve as the Principal of this amazing school community.

For the past seven years, I have proudly been a part of the Orangewood family and have spent thirteen years serving students and families within the Edison Elementary School District. Throughout my time in education, I have been inspired by the dedication of our students, staff, and families, and I am thrilled to continue working alongside all of you in this new role.

At Orangewood Elementary, we are committed to creating a safe, supportive, and engaging learning environment where every student can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Our dedicated staff works tirelessly to ensure students receive high-quality instruction while developing the skills and confidence they need to be successful both in and out of the classroom.

-As we move forward together, our focus will remain on:

-Providing excellent instruction and learning opportunities for all students.
-Building strong relationships with students, families, and the community.
-Supporting the whole child through academic, social-emotional, and behavioral growth.
-Maintaining a positive school culture where students feel valued, respected, and empowered to achieve their goals.
I believe that a strong partnership between home and school is essential to student success. I encourage you to stay involved, communicate with our staff, and participate in the many events and opportunities available throughout the school year. Together, we can ensure that every student reaches their fullest potential.

Thank you for entrusting us with your children each day. I look forward to working alongside our students, families, staff, and community as we continue the tradition of excellence at Orangewood Elementary School.
