Lost and Found

Lost anything?  Have you checked Lost and Found?

 

Lost and Found is located in the alcove across from the Principals office, at the entrance to the courtyard.


Please make it a part of your routine to check lost and found periodically. It helps to label your child's items with their last name.


All found items will be cleaned out each first week of the month, and prior to any school breaks. All items are donated.

Parking for Oak Grove Events

     

Please remember to follow all parking signs and laws when visiting Oak Grove Elementary.  

  • Do not block the entrance and exit to Oak Grove Elementary.  
  • Do not block the entrance to the cul-de-sac across the street from the school.  
  • Do not double park along side streets in the neighborhood.  
  • Do not double park on the side driveway next to the school.

I have had several community phone calls with threats to call the police. I would hate for any parent to get a parking ticket.  Spread the word among friends and neighbors about following parking rules. Thanks!
