Oak Ridge Family Focus
September 1st Edition
Happy September! Please see below for some important information:
Parents of English Learners
The Bilingual Parent Advisory Committee invites parents of English Learners to join us in learning about Moraine Valley’s Program of Learning Enrichment and College Readiness. See our flyers in:
iReady (Week 2)
Last week, some of our students took their iReady fall online assessment while others will begin or continue this week. As a reminder, our students will take the iReady online assessment instead of the MAP Growth assessment: one test in ELA (English Language Arts) and one in math. Please see our district parent letter for more information regarding iReady and its purpose. As reports and feedback become available, we will share that with our families.
No School Monday
In observance of Labor Day, school will be closed on Monday, September 2nd.
First Team Day
This Wednesday, September 4th students will be dismissed at 1:30pm due to a Team Day schedule. Arrival and dismissal procedures are the same, just the dismissal time is different. Team Days occur the first Wednesday of every month throughout the school year.
If you need anything, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at 708-598-5713. We are here to help. We hope you have a great week!

Morning Drop Off Procedures
Morning Drop Off
Morning Drop Off is 8:15 - 8:25am since staff and students need to be in class by 8:30am. Starting at 8:30am and later, students need to be dropped off in the front of school and signed in at the main office. Thank you for your help!
Reading 20 minutes a day will go a long way!
