A Message from ORES Principal Denise Francisco

It is an exciting week to be an ORE Colt because on Monday each student will learn how they can participate in this year’s
Science Fair
. Science Fair guidelines will be sent home with all students on Monday. In this packet, you will learn all about how to create and submit your Science Fair Project Proposal. The Proposal Form will be due back to your child’s teacher on Monday, October 15. The Science Fair Team will read all proposals and make decisions about projects being approved or denied and these forms will then be returned to all students on Friday, October 19. If a project is approved, the students can begin working on their projects on Friday, October 19. Final projects will be due to the school on Wednesday, November 28 and the Awards Night will be Thursday, November 29.
Have you signed up for your
Report Card Conference
on November 2
nd
? Please look for sign-up information from your child’s teacher. All parents are being asked to meet face-to-face with their child’s teacher to pick up the 1

Quarter Report Card. This is a Guilford County Schools initiative and is being done across all GCS. We are very excited to participate and look forward to seeing all parents face-to-face for these conferences for both 1
st

teachers will offer additional times to meet from Nov. 5-13.
Have a great week,

Library News from Ms. Dalton

Again this year, ORES has an online subscription to Pebble Go (for K-2) and Pebble Go Next (for 3-5). This wonderful website features articles on many different science and social studies topics that supplement our Core Programs.
All students have the same login: username is oakr and password is school.
|
|
Don’t forget that Oak Ridge Elementary and Guilford County Schools have many eBooks that students can check out and read on any connected device.
To log in, students will need their username which is their Student ID # (also known as their Powerschool number) and their password, which is their 8-digit birthdate (MMDDYYYY).

Internet Safety Classes during Media Class
|
During media classes this week, students began learning about Internet Safety. It is never too early to begin talking to your child about this. The lessons are created by Netsmartz, which you can find at
https://www.netsmartz.org.
While age-appropriate topics at each grade level will be covered, all students will learn
four basic Internet Safety rules:
- I will tell my trusted adult if anything online makes me feel sad, scared, or confused.
- I will ask my trusted adult before sharing online information like my name, address, and phone number.
- I won't meet face-to-face with anyone from the Internet.
- I will always use good netiquette and not be rude or mean online.

A huge thank you to Mrs. Shannon Depp (a parent from Mrs. Goins' class) who donated soil for ALL the Colts Crops garden beds!
My entire class for demonstrating the COLT’S CODE during our Field trip to the Natural Science Center!
So proud to be your teacher!
Love,
Mrs. Snipes

Sponsorship Opportunities
|
All of our sponsors, no matter how big or small, make a difference. Sponsoring our weekly newsletter, gymnasium banners, website and school planners helps us provide the school staff, our students and our families resources that the school's budget does not provide. If you are interested in a sponsorship, please contact us.
