Oak Ridge Family Focus
October 14th Edition
Weekly Update
Wow - time flies! It feels like we just started the school year, but we are quickly approaching the end of Quarter 1. Students have worked hard these last 8 weeks, learning new and challenging concepts in the classroom. This week, students will be taking their quarterly and unit assessments. Please make sure your child is reviewing the concepts from this quarter and getting plenty of rest this week. If your child needs any additional support or has questions before their assessments this week, please do not hesitate to call or email your child's teacher.
Upcoming Report Cards
This year, all report cards will be accessed online. Please make sure you are able to log in to the Parent Access portal so you will be able to see grades once they are available. If you need assistance, please read our helpful tip sheets. (Please see the dates below for the end of Quarter 1 as well as when report cards will be available.)
Reminder about Saturday
This Saturday, October 20th, our Oak Ridge Running Club will be participating in the Howl through the Hills 5k at the Hickory Hills City Hall starting at 9am. If you are interested in running or walking, don't forget to register for the race. Come out and join us to support our Running Club team and enjoy some fall activities!
We look forward to another great week at Oak Ridge, as we close the chapter on quarter 1 of the 2018-2019 school year. We also look forward to seeing all of our students and families at the 5k on Saturday!
Have a great weekend,
Beth Reich, Principal
Kevin Buscemi, Assistant Principal
