Principal's Message

Parents,
 
Thank you for a smooth first two weeks, our students are off to a great start! A few reminders:
 
  • Breakfast closes promptly at 8:10 AM. If your child would like breakfast, I recommend they are on campus by 8:05 AM.
  • Uniforms are required each and every day.
  • Spirit shirts or uniforms only on Friday. Spirit shirts are worn with jean shorts, jeans or uniform bottoms.
  • Field Trip News is coming—we ask that parents complete ADDitions Volunteer forms ASAP so you are ready when the information comes out.
 
Thank you for all you do for OCE and YOUR tigers each day!

Accelerated Reader (AR) Program

Our school will be promoting the Accelerated Reader (AR) program this year. Accelerated Reader (AR) is a computer-based reading program used in many schools to help teachers manage and monitor students’ independent reading practice. With AR students will:

  • Read books of their choice (within their reading level)
  • Take short quizzes on the computer after finishing each book
  • Earn points based on how well they do on the quiz and the difficulty of the book

Once students take their Star Reading tests teachers will be sending home information that provides students’ reading levels. Parents can encourage and assist their students with getting their AR points by ensuring they are reading nightly at home. If they do not have a library book at home, Sora is a great app they can use to find books on their level. Sora is located on their Launchpad and you can search for books based on their level.
