At Oak Ridge Elementary we empower all students to achieve and inspire life-long learning through high expectations, collaboration, and respect. We begin with outstanding core curriculum in reading, writing, mathematics, science, social studies, and health. Highly trained teachers foster a love for learning and maximize student engagement with interactive technology, cooperative learning, small gr
oup instruction, hands-on experiments, and guided discovery. Our dynamic specialist teachers will spark your child's interests and development in the arts and athletics. At Oak Ridge we value collaboration and teamwork. Teaching teams plan differentiated instruction to ensure that every student will learn and grow as much as possible. Communication between home and school is essential and plays a critical role in each child's educational experience. A clear focus on learning establishes a school climate that is safe, inclusive and productive. Our foundation is CARES, a set of school-wide expectations that foster academic success: Cooperation--listen, follow directions, and participate; Assertion--do your best and ask for help when you need it; Responsibility--be prepared and complete quality work; Empathy--be kind and respect others; Self-Control--be in charge of your words and actions. Oak Ridge provides a joyful learning environment where staff members are welcoming, students are engaged, and everyone is respected.
