Welcome to the 2019-2020 school year! We have kicked off our teacher workdays and are busy preparing to welcome everyone back to school. Teacher announcement phone calls will go out on Wednesday morning around 9:00 am. The teacher announcement is also being sent via email. If you have a working email in our PowerSchool system, you will get the teacher notification by both phone and email around 9:00 am on Wednesday morning.
Open House is scheduled for Wednesday, August 21
st
from 5:00-7:00. It is a floating event but please arrive no later than 6:40 so that our teachers can head home at 7:00. We look forward to greeting you at Open House!
If you do not receive a Teacher Announcement phone call or email on Monday morning you can obtain that information at Open House. There will be staff members ready to greet you and we will have rosters with us so that we can look up who your new teacher is. We will ask all families to enter Open House through the gym door so that you can visit the Transportation Department, join the PTO, and visit with other community organizations as well. You will then exit the gym and visit your new classroom. Don’t forget to also visit the Specialist Classrooms and the Media Center.
The first day of school is Monday, Aug. 26
th
. The town of Oak Ridge is once again providing police officers to assist with traffic the first 10 days of the school year. Buses will unload beginning around 7:15 and car riders will also begin unloading at that time. Please plan to arrive so that your child can enter the school building as close to 7:15 as possible. As you have seen from our school’s Facebook Page, the tardy bell for the 19-20 school year will ring at 7:40 (this is the 5 minute earlier start time that was used last year for inclement weather days).
We look forward to seeing all our students and family members over the next few days. As always, if there is ever anything we can do to better serve your family please let us know. Working together we will make this the best school year ever!
