Oak Ridge Family Focus
November 24th Edition
Happy Thanksgiving
As we celebrate Thanksgiving this Thursday, we want to say thank you to all of our families. We are grateful for such a committed community that supports and challenges our students to be the best versions of themselves every day. We hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with your families and get plenty of time to relax and create wonderful memories.
Sign Up For Conferences Online
Student-led conferences will be held this Monday and Tuesday. If you haven't done so already, please be sure to sign up for a conference with your child's teacher by logging in here to your Powerschool Parent Portal. Please follow these step-by-step instructions on how to sign up for conferences. For any additional help, please do not hesitate to contact your child's teacher or the main office at 708-598-5713.
5Essentials Survey
The Illinois 5Essentials Survey provides an opportunity for parents, students, and staff to share specific information about their school. The survey information is part of the school report card. In NPD117, we use this information in our continuous improvement process.
If you have children attending more than one school, we ask that you complete the survey for each school.
To take this short survey:
- Visit https://survey.5-essentials.org/illinois/
- Type and select “Cook” as "County."
- Type your child’s school name into the "School" field and select your school.
Thank you in advance for your input.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving week, and go Mustangs!
