Library Update
We started library checkout. OG is still missing over fifty library books from last school year. Reminders were sent home Friday, Sept. 1. Please email or call me if you have any questions regarding lost books and payments. Let's work something out, so that your child can resume checkout.
Also, if you received an email that included a long list of books, please ignore it. That report was a mistake.
IMPORTANT REMINDER: Water bottles and library books do not mix! Please remind your child, when loading their backpack, to keep their water bottle in a separate location from their library books. Nobody likes paying for damaged books.
