The story walk allows students to get outside, stretch their legs, and enjoy a story together. Students move from post to post to read each part of the picture book. Our 3rd graders have been enjoying this and we hope other classes will take the opportunity as well. Some students have also been enjoying this when we had outdoor recess in the front of the building. Thank you to Dr. Dunphy for taking her idea and bringing to life.

Just like kids, puppies grow up quickly. Sandy is loosing her puppy teeth. Her is our comfort dog Sandy with one of her baby teeth in a little treasure chest like you get at the dentist. So cute!

We have been noticing that many parents/guardians who are picking up their children do not have a school issues placard on their mirror. If you do not have one or need a replacement, email orattendance@sandwich.k12.ma.us to request one. This will increase the flow of traffic and get students to where they need to be more efficiently.

The SEPAC will be having a general meeting Tuesday 9/24 @ 6:30pm at The Oak Ridge School library there will be a virtual option to join as well. All information provided in the link below.

This week on Thursday is our annual Open House. Due to parking constraints, we split the evening by grade levels. Families of students in grades 3 and 4 will meet in the MPR at 6pm for a brief presentation by Principal Hill where she will introduce the teachers and support team. Mrs. Hill will send the 3rd and 4th grade teachers to the classrooms and families will follow. At 7pm there will be a similar presentation for families of 5th and 6th grade students.

The presentations are focused on information for adults. We ask that children not attend. However, we realize that this is not possible for all families. If you do need to bring a child with you to Open House, please make sure they are with you at all times.

This week on Thursday, September 26th, is our School Picture Day. Students were sent home with a flyer with information for both in person and on-line ordering options. Please note that a la carte orders are possible, but need to be done using the envelope attached to the flyer.
