Weekly Update
Parent-Teacher Conferences
Thank you for coming out last week for our conferences. Our students did an amazing job talking about the hard work they have put in so far this year, sharing their strengths and areas they would like to focus on moving forward. The conferences were a major success due to our students continual pursuit of excellence, our teachers commitment to their students success, and our parents unending amount of support. Thank you again for taking the time to visit Oak Ridge and for participating in our student-led conferences.

Hippotherapy for Students with Special Needs
"Hippotherapy is a mounted activity utilizing the unique movement patterns of the horse. It is implemented by a PT, OT, or Speech Therapist. The child is not learning riding skills, but is gaining improvements in muscle tone, strength, postural control, balance, and coordination from weight shifts and postural displacement created by the unique horse's gait."
