Oak Ridge Family Focus
January 27th Edition
Cold Temperatures This Week
This week is shaping up to be one of the coldest weeks of the school year. As a school and a district, our number 1 priority is the safety of our students. We will continue to do everything we can to ensure our students are safe and ready to learn each day. When dealing with the cold weather, we thought the image above was helpful. This week will fall into the "Extreme Cold" range. Please take extra special precautions with these frigid temperatures. Just think: only 52 days until Spring :)
