The newly formed Oak Grove Booster Club will have Information Tables set up at both the north and the south campus within the next couple of weeks. In addition to the website, these tables will provide a means for families to find out about the Booster Club and opportunities for involvement. In the meantime, if you are interested in being a grade representative (class parent), you can contact Christi Teigen for the Elementary School, Jennifer Sharpe for the Middle School, and Pat Hesby for the High School. The Oak Grove Booster Club will have its first Annual Meeting in January and all Oak Grove families are welcome to participate and run for leadership positions.

First semester fees have been invoiced to all families this week (voice lessons, lab fees, etc).  Included in the fee invoice is the $125 per semester fee as detailed in a letter mailed to all families in August.  If you have any questions in regards to this free, please contact Dr. Guy at 237.0210.  If you would like to add the fee to payment plan, please contact JoLynn Schmid in the Business Office at 373.71746. 

When parents report student absences, they are to indicate to the school office if the student is out sick with flu like symptoms (for reporting purposes).  Flu like symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, chills, runny stuffy nose, headache, body aches, vomiting and diarrhea.

Students who have flu-like symptoms are to stay home from school; students are to remain out of school for 24 hours after a  fever breaks without medication.  For most children this is typically 5-7 days.

Any child with a fever equal or greater than 100.0 will be isolated from other students and sent home immediately.

Parents must have a plan in place to pick up a sick child from school within 30 minutes of receiving the call that their child is ill. Students will not be permitted to stay in school if they are showing any signs of being ill.

Getting vaccinated against the seasonal flu and H1N1 is the best defense. The second best defense is frequent hand washing.
