Updates and Reminders - October 24, 2025

Thank you for all the support for home for our Character Counts Colors Week.  It was great seeing so many students participate each day.  This week you should have also been contacted about scheduling a conference for November conference week.  Please reach out to your child’s teacher if you have issues scheduling a conference.   Here are some additional updates and reminders:

  • This is a reminder that the Student/Parent Device Agreements (acceptable use) and payment are past due. In reviewing the records, we have many families that may have forgotten to do this during the hectic start to the year.  Please review, sign (with your student), and return the agreement to the main office. Payment can be made by online or check.
     
  • As you are purchasing or making costumes for our Fall Socials and Parade, please remember no weapons or look alike weapons are allowed on school property.
     
  • Thanksgiving is just around the corner. Each year, the Oak Ridge community fills bags with nonperishable food to help Oak Ridge families in need enjoy their Thanksgiving meal. Please sign up using this Fill-a-bag Food Drive Form if you are able to help, thank you for your generosity!
     
  • As I shared earlier in the year, we are trying to build in more fun seasonal challenges this year for students to enjoy.  See the Fall Challenges flyer.  Participation is completely voluntary.  
     
  • Our Veterans Day Assembly will be on November 7th, at 9:00 am.  If you would like to honor a Veteran or active-duty member of the armed services, as a special guest or through a video here is the Veterans Assembly Sign-Up Form to sign them up.  Please sign up by Thursday, October 30th so we can plan for our guests.
     
  • Home and School's Pampered Chef Fundraiser is now live.  Please share the link below with your family and friends.  All orders are shipped directly to the customer.  Sale ends 10/31!  Thank you for your support! Shopping Link
     
  • Join our Home and School on October 25th from 1:30p to 3:30p for Oak Ridge Elementary School's First Annual Trunk or Treat event! Please register on the Trunk or Treat form if you would like to decorate your trunk and hand out candy. Not able to decorate a trunk but still want to help out?
