Oak Ridge JH/HS Weekly Brief

Greeting to Oak Ridge Families, Students, Faculty, and Community Members:

❄️ Thawed Out & Powered Up!

We officially survived "Snow-mageddon 2026!" While the snow days were a nice break, we are definitely ready to trade the drifts for a predictable routine. Our students and staff have transitioned back to "normal" seamlessly, and the energy in the halls is great.

📅 Looking Ahead

• Future Planning: Believe it or not, we’ve already hit the ground running on the 2026-2027 Master Schedule. * Academic Milestone: The 3rd Quarter wraps up at the beginning of March. We’re keeping everyone focused on their goals as we hit this mid-semester mark.

🍭 FCCLA Valentine’s Candy Orders:

Don’t forget to grab something sweet for your favorites! Soda and Ring Pops

FCCLA is taking orders until Monday, Feb 9.

• Delivery Date: Feb 13, 2026.

🏀The Game Plan: Hoops for a Cause:

We have three home basketball games next week, and we’re using that home-court advantage to do some good. We will be holding a 50/50 raffle each night, with 100% of the proceeds going directly to the Deckerd Family. Come out, watch some great basketball, and help us support one of our own!

RE: reminders from the nurse

Please make sure you have all of the required information provided to the nurse’s office by the first day of school. Below is the information you will need to provide:

1. Updated health information. This is completed with student’s online enrollment. Please include any new medication/diagnosis information.

2. Proof of immunizations that are required by the state of Missouri. Students who have already submitted this information do not need to submit it again UNLESS your student is entering kindergarten, 8th or 12th grade. All kindergarten students should receive immunizations after their 4th birthday and will need to have proof of this submitted to the nurse office. All 8th grade students should receive a TDap and meningitis immunization which should have been administered after the age of 10. All 12th grade students should receive an additional meningitis shot which should have been administered after the age of 16. Appropriate exemptions are accepted and should be submitted if applicable.

3. The only prescription medication that students are allowed to carry with them are emergency medications such a inhaler or Epi-pen which must meet the following requirements: prescription is on file in the nurse office, self administration form signed by both student and parent, and the medication is labeled with student’s name.

4. Any medication that you wish to be administered by the school nurse requires you to fill out a Medication Request Form. Medication should only be brought to school by a parent. Student’s are not allowed to carry medication unless authorized by a physician and nurse.

5. If your child has Asthma, Diabetes, Allergies or seizures an action plan must be filled out and signed. Action plans are available in the nurse office. If your child has a food allergy and requires substitution in the cafeteria, they will need to fill out a Medical Statement for Student Requiring Special Meals form.

A few reminders from the nurse for this year:

• A fever is considered over 100 degrees Fahrenheit. If your student has a fever they will be sent home. Students cannot return to school until they are fever free (below 100) without the use of tylenol or ibuprofen for 24 hours.

• If your child requires the use of OTC medications more than a few times, you may be asked to send in a bottle with their name written on it.

Thank you for your help and cooperation. You are welcome to email updated information as well as call with any questions you may have.
