Principal's Message
Hello Ockley Green Families & Partners -
This week our 8th Grade Dragon Leaders planned and supported a community builder for our 6th Grade students with movies and hot cocoa. The 6th graders appreciated the care and enjoyed getting to spend time with each other, as well as with the Dragon Leaders.
Today, a team of judges walked the building to take in all the amazing Advisory logos and door decorations. Our students have come up with creative logos and artwork to represent their core traits. We will share out the winners at next week's Clash of Colors event.
Next week we will hold our Clash of Colors during the last hour of school on Tuesday. The Leadership class has been planning fun activities and friendly competitions for students and staff. There will be lots of laughter, many points earned and the crowning of our top House.
Thank you to those that have already let our office staff know if your student will be out for any of next week. We have coverage in place for staff that need to be out due to plans that could not be changed. They are providing thorough plans for guest teachers to support continued learning.
In Partnership,
Julie Rierson
