Dear Parents,
We love our school and we LOVE OUR PARENTS! Thank you to our incredible parent community. We understand that choosing Oakridge for your child’s educational journey is a true choice, and it is one we do not take lightly. We are so grateful for your continued support throughout the year, especially through your engagement in parent-teacher conferences, the wonderful teacher appreciation lunches, and the thoughtful little knick-knacks and cards you share with us. Without the strong partnership with our parent community, our students would not be as successful. We are grateful to you and wish you all the best summer.
Speaking of summer, we hope that you have taken the time to enroll your child in Summer at the Ridge activities. Mrs. DeWinter is also hosting a Bespoke Reading challenge for the summer. Both are wonderful ways to keep your child engaged and active throughout the summer. See flyers below with more information.
Summer Reading:
The Oakridge Summer Reading Initiative this year will be implemented through an incentive program called "Bespoke Summer Book Bags." This program is designed as a personalized concierge service available to readers in all school divisions. Learn all about it here: Summer Reading Info

Warm regards,
Ashley Read, Oakridge Class of 2005
