Updates and Reminders - September 13, 2024
We had a great week at Oak Ridge, topped off with an awesome First Responders Assembly. The kids learned about our local first responders and the role they play in our communities. They also were able to see their vehicles and hear about the special features. I was very proud of our students’ behavior on this hot afternoon. Look for the footage on next week’s News From The Nest. Here are some additional updates and reminders:
- One of the safety tips given by one of our local officers was for students to memorize their address and parents phone number. This was something that I remember from way back when I was in elementary school, so I decided to make it our first challenge of the year. Feel free to help your child at home to learn this important information in case of an emergency.
- Our Home and School asked me to remind everyone that the Directory and Volunteer Information (DASH) form closes tonight at midnight. It’s the best chance to get involved in all the fun things happening during the school year, plus offers the opportunity to be included in the family directory and also sign up for the Home and School Association newsletter. Here’s the LINK.
- Home and School will also be hosting their first Sundae Bar of the year on September 27th. Please look for a flyer coming home next week with more information.
- Looking ahead here are some future dates to make not of:
- Wednesday, October 2nd- Walk to School Day (Meet at 8:00am in Alderfer Park)
- Thursday, October 3rd- No School
- Friday, October 11th – Picture Day (Retake is Monday, November 11th)
