Oak Ridge High School Newsletter
Week of 1/6/2023
Welcome back from Mrs. Cato
We hope everyone had an amazing break and were able to relax and unwind from the busy and bustling time this season sometimes brings. As we begin a new year and approach the 2nd semester, I encourage everyone to reflect on the positives of the past year. It is a great honor to serve the students and patrons of Oak Ridge High School and am looking forward to bringing an air of excitement as we move through the winter months and prepare for the spring season.--Mrs. Cato
Valentine's Day
A few notes for Valentine's Day--this is a huge delivery day. Please have deliveries delivered to home addresses instead of school. Only students who drive can take them home. Students who ride the bus CANNOT take deliveries with them due to safety issues. If a student who rides a bus receives a delivery, a parent must pick up the delivery after school. Thank you for your help in this matter. Mrs. Cato
