Schoolwide Title I Program: Title I eligibility is based on the number of students in our school from low-income families. School Staff members work with input from parents and the community to develop a Schoolwide plan. The purpose of the plan is to improve our entire educational program.

We encourage parents' and community members' involvement in revising and improving our Schoolwide plan. You are an important partner in our effort to provide the best education possible for our students. Please call the school if you have any questions or would like additional information.

Arts Festival

over 2 years ago

What better way to learn about a different culture than through the arts? Every year in the spring time, OGP holds its annual Arts Festival. On this day, students get to learn about a culture other than their own through pieces of famous artwork, nature, music and movement, and stage performances. Don't be surprised if your little person comes home telling you have to sit appropriately on the floor for a Japanese Tea Ceremony or teaches you how to do the "Chicken Dance". This is a day for parents to come celebrate this great world of our and its diversity among its people.

School Hours are 7:40 - 2:10 (SUPERVISION OF CHILDREN BEGINS AT 7:00 am)

Carline Reminders:

Car tags must be visible when you are dropping off in the morning.
Please use the left lane and the center lane for morning drop off.
ONLY use the bus lane (far right) when you are directed to do so. We only use the bus lane when most of our buses have passed.
Students MUST be let out of the car by an adult. DO NOT let your child out of the car in the curve by the PAC. Please wait until you pull up to a teacher on duty. We complete this process more quickly if you watch the duty teachers and pull all the way up!
YOU MUST HAVE YOUR CURRENT CAR TAG VISIBLE IN THE AFTERNOON WHEN PICKING YOUR CHILD UP. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE YOUR CAR TAG, YOU MUST PARK, WAIT UNTIL TRAFFIC HAS CLEARED (AROUND 2:30), WALK INTO THE OFFICE, AND SHOW YOUR IDENTIFICATION BEFORE WE WILL BE ABLE TO RELEASE YOUR CHILD TO YOU. IT IS OUR FIRST PRIORITY TO KEEP EVERY CHILD SAFE.
