2019 Track and Field Calendar

Hello Oak Grove Community,

One week and counting - if your child is in grades 3 through 8, they will need working headphones beginning Monday, April 8th to complete the English language arts (ELA) portion of the Illinois Assessment of Readiness.

There will be 3 math assessments and 2 ELA/literacy assessments. Tests will take place Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings along with the afternoons of Tuesday and Wednesday. For specific testing times, please contact your child’s homeroom teachers.

To access practice tests that model the technical format of the assessment, click here: https://parcc.pearson.com/practice-tests

Make-up assessments will begin Thursday afternoon and continue into the following week as needed.

Any 7th or 8th grade student interested in playing on the Oak Grove Golf Team should email Mr. Karolewicz - karolewicz@ogschool.org by Friday, April 5th.

Students do need to have their own clubs, golf equipment, and transportation to and from the golf course and the practice facility to participate.

Any current 7th grade member of student council who is interested in running for an 8th grade office, please come to a special meeting on Wednesday this week. Meet in Mrs. Evans's room during your study hall time for information on the election process. Just because you come to the meeting does not mean you are committing to running. It is strictly informational and for the 7th grade group members only.

PTO Meeting

The meeting will be held this Wednesday, April 3rd at 9am in the PD room. All are welcome!

Oak Grove will again be a polling site on Tuesday, April 2nd. Voters can park in the upper (Junior High) parking lot. Voting will take place in the Junior High gymnasium. You may only enter the polling area through the doorway located on the west side of the gymnasium. Per law, no campaigning can occur on school property, nor can signs be placed upon school property. As a reminder, morning drop off of students occurs between 7:45-8:20 a.m. and afternoon pickup is 3:20-3:35 p.m. Traffic is extremely heavy during those time periods, so you may consider that as you make your voting plans. Thank you.
