Oak Ridge Family Focus
March 1st Edition
4th/5th grade Math Bowl
Congratulations to all of our 4th and 5th grade students who participated in the first-ever North Palos math bowl competition last Friday. Students competed individually in Number Sense & Word Problem events, and also competed in a team event. We're so proud of all of our students who participated, won awards, and will be moving on to the South Cook Math Bowl in a couple of months!
5th grade Parents Only
School physical and dental packets for 6th grade went home on February 28th. Please check your child's backpack if you have not received this information. All forms need to be turned in to Oak Ridge to be placed in their school file. If you need a copy of your child's shot records, please call Robin Neumann (Health Clerk) at 708-233-5304.
