Oak Ridge Family Focus
January 13th Edition
We had a great week back at Oak Ridge! It was great to see all of our students and hear about their fun and relaxing breaks. We look forward to another great semester at Oak Ridge, filled with engaging learning activities, dedication and teamwork, and plenty of lasting memories for our students.
A few reminders for this week:
- After school activities (such as ASSETs, 2nd grade Great Books, etc.) will resume.
- Math Peer Tutoring resumes next week.
- 2nd quarter Report Cards will be available online Friday, January 18th. To access them, see this step-by-step guide.
Erin's Law Assembly
Please see the letter from Dr. Paula Coughlin (Assistant Superintendent of Special Education) regarding our upcoming assembly on Erin's Law, or House Bill 6193. State law requires public schools to provide education on personal safety, abuse education, and prevention. Oak Ridge will hold the assembly for students on Monday, January 14th during school hours. The assembly, presented by Victor Pacini, is entitled "Be Seen and Heard." Check out his video to parents.
Last Reminder about 5Essentials Survey
The Parent Survey will be conducted from October 23 through January 18, 2019. To take the survey please visit https://survey.5-essentials.org/Illinois/ and select the appropriate survey to begin.
Have a wonderful week!
