The Bookstore sells PE shirts, PE shorts, PE combination locks, and Chromebook chargers. Please be aware these items can be charged to a student’s Skyward account if they do not have money with them. These items should be paid for via Family Access or in the Bookstore: 

• PE Shirt (required for class): $5

The district does not offer bus service, other than for some students in special education. Several PACE buses provide service near OPRFHS, including the 309 (Lake Street), 313 (Lake Street), and 315 (Ridgeland Avenue).

Students can get a discounted Ventra student fare card, which PACE and CTA both accept. You must apply for a Ventra student fare card by mail. 

To access the application and instructions, either login into the Ventra website, see the links below, or visit the Bookstore. The $2 fee for the card is sent to Ventra along with the form. Do not bring completed forms and/or money to the Bookstore. The student card will be mailed to the Bookstore and you will be emailed when it arrives, in approximately two to three weeks. 

Per Ventra: The Student Ventra Card is available to full-time students aged 7-20 years old enrolled in elementary or high school and it entitles the cardholder to reduced fare for trips taken Monday thru Friday between 5:30AM and 8:30PM on CTA and Pace transportation systems. Rides taken outside of these times will automatically be charged the full fare unless the student is under the age of 12 and a parent or guardian has taken the action to qualify for the Student/Child fare.

Note: You must renew Ventra cards for each summer term, and again each fall of the new school year. Be sure to register your student’s card on the Ventra website. If your card is lost or stolen, you will need to use the replacement form and call Ventra with the card’s number to deactivate the lost or stolen card.

All charges posted to Skyward can be paid in the Bookstore, though paying online via Family Access is encouraged. Other fees may include sports participation (pay-to-play), replacement IDs/lanyards, or Chromebook damages. 

The Bookstore serves as the lost and found for books and backpacks only.  If clothing, electronics, or other items are lost, students should check with the Welcome Center and/or a Campus Safety staff member. 

Please use this form to request any textbooks or novels when you are ready for them to be used with your classes. If time permits, the books will be delivered. Otherwise you will be asked to pick them up from the Bookstore. Please click here for more information.

All textbooks are due back to the Bookstore in order to avoid a replacement fee. Students are responsible for returning textbooks – they will not be collected from classrooms or lockers, and teachers do not return books on behalf of a student or class. 

First semester books should be returned before Winter Break. Year long and second semester books should be returned before the last day of school. Any books out past due dates posted in Skyward will be assessed a replacement fee. Replacement fees vary. Once the book is returned, that fee will be reversed. 

Please note each textbook has individualized barcodes on the spine. This barcode number must match the one initially checked out to the student’s ID.
