Governor's Announcement - Oak Grove Return to Learn Plan

Given the Executive Order mandating universal masking in P-12 educational facilities, regardless of vaccination status, the Oak Grove Return to Learn Plan has been updated to reflect this change.  Given that this is the first time parents have seen the plan, please send any constructive feedback to Dr. Loren Baele at lbaele@og68.org so that the information can be discussed for possible implementation.  A board approved return to learn plan is required for the district to apply for and receive Federal American Rescue Plan funding.  As required by the Governor's mandate, anyone entering the building effective 8/5/2021 must wear a face covering while inside the building.

Oak Grove Return to Learn Plan
​The Oak Grove Return to Learn Plan was approved at the 8/18/2021 BOE Meeting. All students, staff, and visitors will be required to wear face coverings over their nose and mouth while in Oak Grove School.
