Oak Ridge Family Focus
March 22nd Edition
For Families
We hope you are doing well during this challenging time. Please continue checking your email and/or phone for updated information from our district office. The information is also posted in the newsfeed on the North Palos 117 website.
Important notes from these updates:
1) If you are not receiving these updates, please email kbuscemi@npd117.net or jstefan@npd117.net so we can make sure you stay connected.
2) Meal service this week
- March 23, 2020: Two breakfast and two lunch meals will be distributed per child
- March 24, 2020: No meals will be distributed
- March 25, 2020: Three breakfast and three lunch meals will be distributed per child

Please be sure to pick up meals on March 23rd and 25th between 10-12pm at Conrady Junior High. If you are unable to pick up meals at these times, please call 708-233-4514.
3) As you have probably heard, the governor extended school closures through April 7th. If we need to put e-learning into place, we plan on providing Chromebooks to all 3rd and 4th grade students (more details to come).
4) If you DO NOT have Internet access or an electronic device to receive assignments, please call the attendance line at 708-598-5743, press 5 for "Oak Ridge," then press 9 to leave the name of your child and grade (Please ignore the fact that it refers to an absence. We are using this voicemail box for a different purpose in this instance).
For Students
Since students may be confused with everything going on, we included a child-friendly comic that explains the virus and gives tips to stay healthy. Feel free to use if you would like.
Please continue to stay safe and healthy and do not hesitate to contact us if you need anything. We're here to help.
Have a good week,
Kevin Buscemi, principal, kbuscemi@npd117.net
