Otter Splash Week of September 25-29 

Hello, Oak Grove Family, Versión en español aquí 

Our Apex Leadership REMIX  for Tracks 2 & 3 was a blast! Oak Grove’s PTA, in conjunction with Apex Leadership Co, has done a tremendous job again this year in helping us raise funds to support the needs of our students and teachers. Thank you SO much for those of you who donated! We are so thankful for each one of you!

 

Just a reminder that Fall Picture Day for Tracks 2 and 4 is tomorrow, Monday, September 25th! We can’t wait to see all those picture day outfits and the wonderful smiles!

 

On September 19, 2023, staff members presented the first draft of a new Student Enrollment Proposal to the Board of Education. The proposal includes proposed school assignment changes for the 2024-25 school year. The proposed plan has very minimal effects on enrollment of students at Oak Grove. Visit wcpss.net/draft1lookup to see your proposed school assignments based on the proposed plan. Additionally, families may ask questions and provide feedback during a virtual information session on October 4th, 6 - 7:30 p.m. using this Google meeting link > https://meet.google.com/wwy-pqnf-dca

 

As fall approaches, families can find COVID-19, Influenza (Flu), and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) information from the CDC linked on our website. We encourage students who are sick or not feeling well to stay home. As a reminder, the federal government ended the COVID-19 public health emergency on May 11. This included ending COVID-19 reporting. Schools no longer require families to disclose a student's illness when returning to school.

 

It was a joy again the week making Positive Phone calls home! Congratulations to all students who have been recognized for showing great character, hard work and effort in completing classwork, and kindness to others! We look forward to making these phone calls again next week!

 

As always, should you have any questions, please feel free to email me at bbenton@wcpss.net

OGES School Progress Reports

WCPSS released progress reports for each school for the 2022-2023 school year to provide families and community members with other key measures outside of a school performance letter grade. Each of the progress reports, including the OGES Progress Report, provides families with overall student performance data, teacher experience and survey data, and student suspension data. This district-created video provides you with more context of the key measures in the report. We are incredibly proud of the progress our students and teachers have made, along with the positive perception our school families and community have of Oak Grove. We will continue to push onward and upward. 

 

 

OGES Clubs Start on Friday

We are really excited about starting student clubs on Friday. Thank you to everyone who has donated supplies and their time! We could not do this without your support. Students in grades 3-5 will have clubs from 9:50-10:50 and students in grades K-2 will have clubs from 2:00-3:00. 

 

We still need a few more items donated. We would be so grateful if you could donate any of the following items!

From Student Services

We wanted to share some resources for families to support school success as we are well into our first quarter. Child Mind Institute is an organization whose goal is to support children and families who may be struggling with learning or mental health. Below are links to their website as well as some articles they have published to support families with getting back into school and finding success.

• Childmind.org provides on how parents can make the most of back-to-school time:

• How to gracefully ease back into a homework routine

• Organizational hacks for kids who struggle with executive functioning

• Tips on how to motivate your child to care about school

• How to talk to kids who are really worried

Instructional Assistant Appreciation Week

Please help us celebrate our Instructional Assistants this week! Our school could not run efficiently without these valuable members of our team!

Some ideas for celebrating our instructional assistants include having your child write a thank you note or picking flowers from your yard to share with them.

Hello, Oak Grove Family, Versión en español aquí 

Wow! We’ve had a super exciting week hosting our friends at Apex Leadership as we gear up for Tracks 1 & 4 Glow Party on Friday, September 8th! Apex Leadership staff will be on campus again this week as we prepare for Friday and then will be back to kick start Tracks 2 & 3 on September 11th! 

 

Due to our inclement weather day on August 31st, we will have OPEN HOUSE for Tracks 3 & 4 this coming Thursday, September 7th. Session 1 will begin at 5:45, with Session 2 beginning at 6:20. While we prefer that this be an event where teachers and parents meet without students in the classroom, we will provide child care that night for families unable to obtain child care. Students in Grades K-2 will go to the Otter Class Classroom, and students in grades 3-5 will go to the Art Classroom. We sure hope that all of our Track 3 & 4 families are able to come to join us to learn more about what’s happening in your child/children's class this year!

 

As fall approaches, families can find COVID-19, Influenza (Flu), and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) information from the CDC linked on our website. We encourage students who are sick or not feeling well to stay home. As a reminder, the federal government ended the COVID-19 public health emergency on May 11.

Here is the link to the descriptions).  Club Dates can be found here.  For Grades 3-5, clubs will be from 10-11. For grades K-2, clubs will be from 2-3. Please arrive about 10 minutes before the club starts, and Staff Members will be in touch with you with more details.  We need one parent from each track to sign up for a club.  Please put a number after your name for the track you are on.  You are not expected to be present during track outs.  For example, GiGi Sammons (1) if I was a track 1 parent, GiGi Sammons (2) for track 2 parents, and so on.  Please email Mrs. Sammons with any questions @ gsammons@wcpss.net.

Donors Choose - Otterly Amazing Book Rewards

Help us give our students diverse and inspirational books that highlight our school mission! At Oak Grove, we LOVE celebrating our students- whether it's their birthday, positive behavior, test score, or classwork improvements and effort, we celebrate them! We would like to begin a weekly or monthly book raffle for our staff and students to receive a new book! This is one of the many ways to increase morale and positive behavior in our otters. At Oak Grove, students are "kind and respectful, safe and responsible, and active listeners and learners." Reading has always been and will always be one of the strongest ways we grow our intellect, compassion, and ability to understand others' perspectives. Here is the link to our Donors Choose Project! We are grateful for your partnership in creating a culture of reading and positive behavior at The Grove!

From Ms. Jarrett - AIG Nominations Grades 4 and 5 Tracks 2,3,4

If you would like to nominate your student for the AIG identification process, please do the following:

1️⃣  Read all the information listed below carefully.  

2️⃣  Make direct contact with your homeroom teacher. Discuss your desire to nominate your child with your classroom teacher BEFORE completing this form. The teacher MUST support your nomination in order to move forward with the AIG identification process. Homeroom teachers will play an integral part in gathering classroom work samples that show the student's higher capabilities and need for direct AIG service.

3️⃣ Complete this Google Form. The Oak Grove AIG teacher, Karen Jordan-Jarrett,  will reach out soon regarding your nomination and the next steps.  

 

The Identification Process

*All nominations for the fall must be received by Friday, September 15, 2023 for Tracks 2, 3, and 4. There will be no exceptions. Any nominations received after this date will be placed on our Spring 2023 nomination list. 

 

*A nomination is not a guaranteed referral for the AIG identification process. Your nomination will be reviewed by the School Based Committee for Gifted Education (SBCGE) at Oak Grove. This committee includes 4th and 5th grade classroom teachers, the AIG teacher, Oak Grove School Counselors, the Instructional Facilitator, and Administrators. They will review all current data and determine which students will be referred and which students will not be referred.

 

*Referred scholars will take the CogAT and IOWA tests. The testing window for Tracks 2, 3, and 4 is Monday,  September 18 - Friday, September 29, 2023.  Your child will need to be present at school to be tested. No makeup tests will be given.

 

*If you have current psychological testing from a previous school district and/or private testing, please let us know. We might be able to use this information when considering what's best for your scholar.

 

*All decisions for fall nominations will be finalized by December 2023.

 

If you have questions, please contact the AIG teacher, Karen Jordan-Jarrett at kjordan-jarrett@wcpss.net for assistance. Thank you!

OGES Families,

Beginning on Monday, August 28, when traditional schools return to class, it is anticipated that the WCPSS bus driver shortage could potentially change student arrival and departure times.

We have been in constant contact with our Regional Bus Managers and will continue to do so to get live updates. Based on current routing information, we anticipate only minimal changes in bus schedules. Please know that changes may occur daily, and we will do our best to communicate as quickly as possible. 

Here is what you need to know below about OGES buses:

• We have 6 bus routes, and all routes have regular and experienced drivers.

• All buses complete a middle and high school run before completing our school.

• We anticipate Route 1 will arrive before 8:45 AM. Staff members will be on campus to retrieve students from the bus.

• Route 2 is currently projected to arrive on campus at 9:17 and  

• Please note the following departure times for all PM Bus Routes

  • Route 1: 4:30

  • Route 2: 4:05

  • Route 3: 3:55

  • Route 4: 4:10

  • Route 5: 4:05

  • Route 6: 4:20

• We will send a Talking Points text to families whose students are still on campus after 4:30 PM.

• All routes should be prepared for potential delays next week, but we will all be hopeful for minimal changes.

• In the event there are bus drivers out unexpectedly, there may be unforeseen impacts to routes. Please use the resources listed below to stay informed about live updates.

We have bus resources available to help you anticipate potential time changes:

• Go to the transportation tab on our OGES website and find the route information with live changes and updates: transportation route information.

• Here Comes the Bus, please sign up here. Our transportation code is 67500.

• The WCPSS Transportation Department has a phone number you can call at 919-805-3030 if you need further assistance.

 

Thank you for your flexibility and understanding during this transition!

 

Respectfully,

Ms. Benton

Yellow Bus Transportation Update

WCPSS is experiencing a bus driver shortage to transport the 90,000 students who ride buses across the district. With the traditional calendar schools set to begin on August 28, yellow bus and vendor transportation will be delayed arriving and/or leaving the LPES campus. Families received notification via email on Friday, August 18, if their child's bus route would be delayed. Bus route times will be updated as more bus drivers are added.

 

The Willow Springs Transportation Department uses the Live Bus Update page to alert schools and families when a driver is unavailable, or a bus will be delayed. Please bookmark this page.

 

The administration will send a Talking Points Message by 8 AM and 2 PM if we learn there is no bus driver for a bus route in the morning or afternoon. A Talking Points Message will be sent after 4:30 PM if students are still waiting for their bus on campus. We will also let you know when a bus begins loading and then when it leaves. Make sure you have opted in to receive messages. Use code AXCN4N to join.

 

Families may share any questions or feedback for the Transportation Department by completing the form at: Fhttps://www.wcpss.net/Page/43
