After School Pick-up InformationDear Families,
We have noticed a larger number of students being picked up in the car rider lane and have been experiencing some traffic difficulties at pick up time. Here are a few things we would like for you to keep in mind if you are picking your child(ren) up in the pick up lane. 1. Please be aware of when the line is moving and move up as far as you can to car in front of you. Be prepared to move forward when motioned to pick up. (School zones are cell phone free zones so we ask that you refrain from use of your phone as you are moving through the line.) 2. Please stay in your car and we will bring your child(ren) to you. We ask that you please not walk up to the door to pick them up either. You will be asked to get back in the car line if this happens. We want to make sure all of our students are safe and not in danger during dismissal. 3. If your child needs assistance with their seat belts we ask that you please pull up and over to an area where you and your vehicle will not be in harms way and then assist them. 4. If the car line is backed all the way up in the main parking lot to Lancaster, we ask that you please enter the extra driveway leading to the church behind Oak Grove and kindly merge into the line at the end of our parking lot. We ask that all drivers be considerate and allow cars to merge one at a time in an every other car pattern. This is to ensure that we are not blocking Lancaster where accidents could happen. 5. 5th-8th grade students may take longer to get to the cafeteria for dismissal. It is suggested if you are picking up a student in 5th-8th that you wait till around 3:25 before getting in line. 6. As always if your child is eligible to ride the bus after school we have that option available for them and would strongly encourage riding the bus. Thank you for your patience as we dismiss students and do our best to ensure that our students and staff are safe during this time. School Registration - OGS OfficeSchool registration is open for any new or transferring student to Oak Grove School. If you are new to the district or have moved to a new house within the district, please ensure that you bring your proof of residency documents (power bill, tax bill, renter's agreement or lease agreement). You will be able to pay fees and add to your student(s) lunch balance(s) with cash or check, no credit or debit card processing available. Forms can be found under the School tab above and then registration. We look forward to serving you and your student(s). It's A Great Day to be an Eagle!
YMCA Before & After Care has moved to Oak Grove School!The YMCA before and after school care will be at Oak Grove School this year. The program will no longer be at the EAST building and will not require transporting students from EAST to Oak Grove School on the bus. This move will also alleviate some pressure on the green bus capacity. If you are interested in the before and after school care please click on the external link that is provided by the YMCA. Even though it says "EAST" the program will be housed at Oak Grove School for the 18-19 school year. Any questions about the program should be directed toward the Greater Peoria YMCA.
