Oraze Elementary School

Welcome to Oraze Elementary – Home of Bearcat Racing for the 2025-26!

I am thrilled to welcome our families to another “O’mazing” school year. At Oraze, everything we do is guided by our mission to provide a safe and caring environment where all students can grow as CHAMPIONS in mind, body, and spirit. Our vision inspires us to help every child be the best they can be, to reach their greatest potential, and to prepare them to be champions not just for school, but for life.

At Oraze, success means growing strong in mind, body, and spirit. We encourage our Bearcats to fuel their passion by exploring co-curricular activities that spark their interest and keep them engaged, while also staying driven toward academic success in the classroom. We know that when students find what excites them and challenge themselves to grow, they gain confidence and pride in their accomplishments.

Just as important, our school places a high value on kindness, respect, and building community. As students R.O.A.R. on campus, personal responsibility and strong character education is embedded in our daily routines through the Positivity Project. With the “Other People Mindset”, we celebrate the diversity that makes Oraze such a special place and believe that learning to care for one another is just as important as learning new skills. Our exceptional Bearcat staff truly cares about every child and is dedicated to partnering with families so that together we can create the best outcomes for students.

This school year, let’s buckle up and take to the track with determination, teamwork, and pride. Together, we will guide our Bearcats across many finish lines, cheer for their victories, and support them as they grow into CHAMPIONS for life.

Start your engines, Bearcats—let’s race toward greatness!

Smiles,

Crew Chief McAvoy
