Oak Ridge High School's Weekly Newsletter
From the Principal
I hope this email finds you well. This has been a very long and fast first six weeks of school.
I hope you and your students are finding a groove and that you are experiencing success academically.
Some notes to consider:
- Six week eligibility changes this week on Friday at 3:00pm based on progress report grades. Students can fill out a waiver if they are failing an advanced course with a 60 or higher. Certain courses are not waivable including all level courses (4 GPA points) and honors courses with a higher point course offered for example: World History Honors is not waivable because AP World History exists and is waivable
- Failure rates for remote learners are 50% higher than for in-person learners. Much of this may have to do with students logging into Canvas for attendance but not completing or understanding assignments and not following up. Please use parent access to check on grades and have your student explain what should be turned in and when they will submit the assignment.
- Please reach out if you need us - you can email your student's counselor or AP or call them. To review who your student's AP or Counselor is please click here.
