PROGRESS REPORTS!
As a reminder for parents of Juniors and Seniors, grades are used to determine whether or not students continue to have their Open Campus privilege. Any student who has two or more F's will have their campus CLOSED in order to work on their grades during lunch time. Students already on Closed Campus, must have NO F's in order to Open their campus. Please contact your grade level assistant principal if you have questions!
Seniors: bsherrell@ortn.edu
Juniors: sathompson@ortn.edu
ORHS WILDBAND NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT!
Another avenue to help - the Band is ALWAYS looking for donations of the used, but not being used, instruments in closets, attics, and basements. Providing an instrument for students to use at all levels of performance, from the beginner to the advanced, is a large part of the support needed in the Oak Ridge Schools’ Band Program. We appreciate your support of the award-winning WildBand!
ONE MORE CHANCE - SENIOR SALUTATIONS!
Parents of Seniors,
Even though the deadline for senior salutations for the yearbook was October 22, you’re in luck! We still have a limited number of spots available in the yearbook, so if you missed the deadline, here is your chance to have your child featured in the back pages of the book. Send baby pictures and current pictures and a message to rbyrd@ortn.edu along with your payment for the ad space. First come first serve and only available until all space is filled!

TN GOVERNOR'S SCHOOL
Students have been given dates and deadlines for all TN Governor’s School applications. Many of you may have already received requests from these students to complete a teacher recommendation form. Below are the deadlines for all teacher recommendations to be submitted to me in the counseling office:
All other TN Governor’s Schools – Friday, November 16
If a student is applying to more than one school and asks you to do more than one recommendation, please only complete one form. I will make copies of the additional recommendations that are needed.
