This Week on the Ridge
Ready, Set, Play
The kids are loving their new playground. Our playground project is finally complete and includes our new basketball court, wall ball, 2 Gaga pits, and structures that encourage gross motor movement, creative play, sound and memory.
Exploring Specials
At Oak Ridge, students take part in units of specials. Each unit is 11 days long. This allows students to work on a specific project from start to finish. Specials include: Art, Technology, Health, Music, Engineering, Physical Education, and our very own Exploring the 7C's. Students also have the option of taking a musical instrument.
From the Health Office
Each year students in ALL GRADES require updating of all forms in PowerSchool. These forms ensure that staff have accurate contact information for your children in the event of illness, injury, or emergency. In addition, these forms provide the nursing staff with permission to provide first aid and medical care to your children while they are in school.
Please take a moment today to log into the PowerSchool parent portal and fill out the required forms in PowerSchool using the instructions found on this link. It is VITAL for the safety and comfort of our students, that we have accurate, current information on our students. If you have problems accessing PowerSchool or have forgotten your username or password, please email help@sandwich.k12.ma.us
As always thank you for your attention to these issues and enjoy these final days of summer!
