Welcome!

Welcome to our Oak Ridge Parent Leadership Academy blog! I am so excited that you are on this journey with me! During this 6 week course, you will learn strategies for helping your fourth grader at home on reading, writing, and math skills that will be assessed on the FCAT. Our goal is to provide you with great resources and strategies to help your child be successful as well as to strengthen the relationship between home and school.

The Parent Leadership Academy will take place on Saturday mornings for a total of six weeks. The first session will be held on Saturday, January 14th from 8:00 a.m. to noon and a catered breakfast and lunch will be provided.

If you have other children that are not in fourth grade, but live in your home that attend Oak Ridge, please feel free to bring them. We will have an Oak Ridge paraprofessional who will be conducting center activities with your other children during the 8:00-12:00 time frame. We will provide breakfast and lunch for them as well.

Please join us for an orientation dinner on Tuesday, January 10th at 5:30 p.m. An invitation letter and dinner RSVP form was sent home in your child's planner. During this orientation, you will receive a schedule listing the session dates, topics, and other fun activities that we have planned.

I am looking forward to working with each and every one of you as we begin this journey towards ensuring the success of your child. Please contact me at hartmans@leonschools.net with any questions, comments, or concerns.
