Oak Ridge Family Focus
March 17th Edition
Breakfast & Lunch Options
Is your child taking advantage of the nutritious breakfast and lunches at school? If your child is eligible for free or reduced breakfast/lunch, he or she may not be participating. Please see this parent letter and speak with your child to ensure he or she is eating their healthy meal every day!
5th Grade Parents
- School Physical and Dental packets for 6th grade went home last week. Please return those forms to Oak Ridge by May 24th.
- For all 5th graders attending Conrady next year, please see this flyer about upcoming summer camps. Register quickly to ensure your spot!
Pie Your Favorite Teacher
Students are working really hard to earn tickets to pie their favorite teachers. Each week students can earn raffle tickets from their ELA and Math teacher by doing extra work outside of class. Students who achieved their classroom goal can put their ticket(s) in a bucket of their favorite teacher during lunch. Soon, students will get a chance to pie their favorite teacher in front of all their friends. Talk to your child and/or child's teacher about how he or she can earn tickets to pie a teacher!
Have a wonderful week!
