Happy March we are excited to welcome spring and leave winter behind. Thank you to the Oak Grove students, families and teachers who participated in teacher conferences and curriculum night. Our therapy dogs and book fair were a hit. We appreciate you taking the time to celebrate your students learning. Another busy month is upon us with state testing for 3rd-8th graders. Our students are hard at work earning positive dojo points and learning new skills. We look forward to our upcoming Spring Break and a fantastic remainder of the school year.

Dear Oak Grove Families,

Every year the state of Illinois asks public schools to have school families complete the 5 Essentials survey. The 5 Essentials survey identifies five indicators that lead to improved outcomes for all students, including improved attendance and larger test score gains. The five indicators are effective leaders, collaborative teachers, involved families, supportive environments, and ambitious instruction. Oak Grove's goal is to support student learning and success. We ask that each parent take a few minutes to complete the survey for our school. We appreciate your time and look forward to reviewing the results to reflect and make positive choices for your students' learning experience.

We ask that all parents communicate with the school office if there is a change to how your student is getting home. In order to keep our students safe a parent is asked to send a note and call the office if there student is going home with a friend, getting on a different bus, or being picked up by a different adult. Please help us to make sure your student gets home safely.
