Oak Ridge JH/HS Weekly Brief

Week 18 is completed and 2nd semester is underway. Seniors this is your last semester and I want you all to make the most of these last few months and soak up every moment, memory, and experience. Last semester flew by and this one will be just as fast! To all the underclassman, I hope you learn from the Seniors and continue to grow into the people you want to be. High school goes by fast and then one day it is over. Take advantage of each day and seize the opportunity to grow and get better each year, each day, each hour. Let's attack this semester and finish the 23-24 school year strong!

Oak Ridge is a community with a long standing tradition of taking care of one another. I am no different and sometimes I need help too. You will notice every week I will need help with certain things around the school and I am looking for leaders and students that want to help make a positive impact on Oak Ridge Schools!

1. Cell Phones. Last semester went pretty smooth, so let's carry that into second semester. Please ensure you put your phone in the phone holder each hour in every classroom.
2. Respect. I want to make sure we are being respectful to our classmates and our teachers. Please step up and be a leader and ensure we are being respectful to everyone and ALL TIMES!
3. Walk to Lunch. Please make sure you are walking to lunch!
4. Keep your hands to yourself. Students keep your hands and feet to yourself. Horseplay is not allowed.

Oak Ridge High School is now officially registered for the Apprenticeship Program through The United States Department of Labor. This program will allow our students to get a jump start into career fields and trades while still being in high school. Their work hours will also go towards a work certificate that can be provided to them by the U.S. Department of Labor after 2000 hours of on the job learning/working. (While being paid!!) We look forward to expanding this program in the years to come! A huge SHOUTOUT to Mrs. Schroeder for all her handwork and effort to get us here! Thank you Mrs. Schroeder!
