Dear Families,

We are excited to welcome you and your families to our annual Back-to-School Bash tomorrow, Saturday, August 16, beginning at 9:00 a.m. The Bash is an opportunity to meet your child’s teacher, visit his/her classroom, shop the uniform resale, and much more! We hope to see you there.

On Wednesday the 13th, you should have received an email from your child’s teacher welcoming your family to her class. If you did not receive this email, please contact Mrs. McGee, ECC Administrative Assistant. 

The entire Oakridge faculty and staff have spent the past three days engaged in professional development training and faculty meetings, diligently preparing for the upcoming school year. We've also been busy decorating and preparing our classrooms to warmly welcome our new Early Childhood friends. Whether you are brand new to Oakridge, starting your 10th year, or anywhere in between, you are sure to feel the ECC magic throughout the year. We are so fortunate to have the very best Early Childhood educators in town!

Don’t forget to join us at the ECC Parent Information Night (parents only, please) on Monday, August 18, from 6:00 - 7:30 p.m. at the ECC. You will have the opportunity to learn about carpool routines, curriculum goals, and other pertinent information to make sure the school year runs smoothly. 

Please note that the updated 2025-2026 Family Handbook is now available. The handbook provides information about topics such as dress code, code of conduct, our school's guidelines for responsible use of technology, as well as division-specific content. A digital version of the handbook can be found on the Oakridge Parent Portal. 

Warm regards,

Ashley Read, Oakridge Class of 2005

Head of Early Childhood
