Welcome to the 2026-27 school year at Pawnee Elementary!

Welcome to the 2026-27 school year at Pawnee Elementary!

Dear Pawnee Elementary Families,  

We are excited for the 2026-27 school year! I am glad your student and family will be part of our school community. At Pawnee Elementary, our focus is on active lessons and strong family partnerships. We all work as one team from school to home, preparing students for success in college, career and life.   

Back-to-School Event 
Our Pawnee Elementary Back-to-School night will be Monday, Aug. 17, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. You can meet your student’s teacher, visit with our office staff and enjoy a treat.   

Finding Additional Information  

  • Bookmark our school’s homepage www.ops.org/pawnee and regularly check announcements 

  • Follow our school and district accounts (Omaha Public Schools) on social media 

  • Look out for mail: 

  • Our back-to-school packet the week of July 27 

  • Transportation information for eligible families the week of Aug. 9 

First Days of School  
In the first days of school, we will focus on learning routines and teaching high expectations for our students. You will see posters throughout our school with the positive behaviors we love to see. This evidence-based plan is called Multi-Tiered Systems of Support for Behavior, or MTSS-B. What it means for students and families is clearly defined expectations, celebrations for achieving expectations and learning opportunities when a student is struggling.   

Before and After School Care  
Kids Club offers before and after school care at Pawnee Elementary. More information can be found at www.OPSFKIDSCLUB.org.
