G.A.M.E. (Games Are Meaningful Education)

Games help kids build positive relationships, collaborate, compromise and share, win and lose gracefully, and it's great together time. I play these games with students in the library because they are terrific vocabulary builders. Consider making these a part of your family's game collection.

• A student can have 10 excused absences in a school year for any reason before documentation is required to excuse the absence.

• Students receive 5 excused tardies per semester to school for any reason. Any tardy after 5 is considered unexcused, unless documentation can be provided.

• A student reaching 7 tardies to school counts as a day of absence.

• Missing 5+ periods counts as a full day of absence.

Best Practice:

• Call or email when your child is going to miss/misses' school.

• Bring in any documentation for an absence for your child in a timely manner.

• Documentation will not be accepted after the semester ends.

Hi Everyone! If you like doing art outside of school, you have a chance to design this year's Youth Art Month Flag for 2024! Note that Oak Grove Elementary School is only allowed to enter 25 entries, so make sure you meet ALL the requirements attached. Good Luck! I can't wait to see what you do!
