The Hoot Owl
APRIL/MAY
UPDATES
Hey Oak Ridge Families,
I've had several questions come up lately and I'm going to try and answer them in this newsletter so that everyone has the answers. I know there are lots of questions about "what to do with..." and "how we will..." Honestly, right now we don't have all the answers. Please know, we are working on plans as quickly as possible and will roll them out to families as soon as we have answers.
Until then, I want to encourage you to continue assisting your child with their work and get it turned into their teacher. Learning is important and must be continued in order to for our Owls to make as much progress this year as possible.
If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to your child's teacher or email us at contactore@conroeisd.net
