Oak Ridge Family Focus
September 30th Edition
Weekly Update
Highlight from last week:
We held out first VIP Event of the year. Students who follow our Mustang Must Do's of Be Respectful, Be Safe, Be Caring, and Be Here & Be Ready are acknowledged as a VIP for the month. For this month, we held a VIP Picnic on the front lawn at Oak Ridge on Friday. Students had fun eating lunch outside and hanging out with their friends and teachers. It was a great time! Students will have the opportunity to be a VIP each month. In order to qualify, please continue to talk to your child about our Mustang Must Do's as well as working hard in class. We look forward to another great event next month with all of our VIPs!
Important Update:
ASSETs (our after school program which offers additional support in Math and English Language Arts) will start on Monday, October 15th (grades 3-5 only). It was originally scheduled to start this week, but the date has been moved back.
Have a fantastic week,
Beth Reich, Principal
