This Week’s Oak Ridge High School Newsletter
Welcome back
So - breathe - it will be ok. My staff is ready to go and we are excited to start the year. Our sincerest hope is that in a few weeks we will start in person learning and be able to get a sense of normalcy back. But for now we will do our best to support you and your student throughout remote learning.
As always - please let me know if something isn't right. We will not be perfect - but we will get better every day at navigating this system.
Be well, be safe, and as always - GO WAR EAGLES!

Recapping Last Week's Newsletter
1. Wednesday will be a Red Day. All students will access their schedule via Student Access Center or Parent Access Center. Please see this link for how to set up an account. Students must access all their odd periods (1, 3, 5, and 7) on Red Days. If your student cannot see their schedule you may have a hold on your account. This could be because of an outstanding fee, book, or technology from last year. Please contact your AP to clear the hold.
2.Students should log into Canvas via the Single Sign on System. To log onto the SSO follow these directions:
Step 1. Go to conroeisd.net
Step 2. Click on Conroe ISD SSO at the top of the webpage
Step 3. Log into the SSO by using the student's username and password
Step 4. Click on Canvas in the SSO
3. Once in Canvas, students will see their courses. They need to access every course on their assigned day. On Red Days student need to access courses 1, 3, 5, and 7. On Blue Days students need to access courses 2, 4, 6, and 8.
4. The first week of school will be about connecting with technology and learning the systems. Our staff is also planning on taking time to try and build connections with students over the first few days. Please do your best to log-in to Canvas daily and access course material. The State of Texas has a rule that for students to receive credit for a course they must be in attendance 90% of the time. They have not waived this rule for remote learning - so it is imperative that students engage in their courses when they are scheduled.
5. During Remote Learning for All (through September 7, 2020) our teachers will have synchronous time every period and will follow the calendar and bell schedule we normally follow. That means that if you have Algebra II 1st period - your 1st period Algebra II teacher will be available either via zoom, Canvas chat, or email for your class during your assigned time. (When we start in person learning - this will not happen as teachers will be teaching students in class. Videos will be created for asynchronous learning for those who choose remote learning after September 7, 2020).
6. We will ramp up in person learning for students on August 19, 2020. During the week of August 31, 2020 students who chose in-person learning will come to school one day per week.
