Happy Friday Ockley Green Families and Community,

I hope everyone had a great week. In addition to important dates, I wanted to provide some information about Student Led Conferences on 11/25/19 and 11/26/19. By now, you should have already heard from your student's first period Advisory teacher by either email, postcard in the mail, phone, or text to schedule your student's conferences.  Advisory teachers will be reaching out again next week and the week after to continue scheduling conferences. Student Led Conferences will take place from 9 AM - 8 PM except 12 PM - 12:30 PM for teacher lunch and 5 PM - 6 PM for teacher dinner. Please bring your student with you to conferences so that they can share their hard work and presentation with you. If you would like to meet with teachers other than advisory teachers, please reach out to the individual teacher to schedule conferences. If you have any questions, please reach out to your student's first period teacher. The Ockley Green Newspaper is located here.  https://www.smore.com/7k920-ockley-green-newspaper

Upcoming dates:

You can also pre-order pizzas from the PTA and pick them up at the school on the day of 11/12, if you don't want to go to the restaurant. The pizzas are par-baked, which means you finish baking them at home, so they're nice and hot. They can be picked up between 4:30-6pm on 11/12. Orders for par-baked pizzas need to be placed by Thursday, 11/7. You can pick up order forms at the office, or download them with the link below.
