September is here, and we are excited about all that is happening at Oconee County Primary School. Our No Fuss Fundraiser is wrapping up, and we are on the way to reaching our goal. Please make sure you have looked at all the opportunities we have to volunteer this year. There is something for everyone! Also, please be sure to complete the volunteer training online if you missed the meeting in August.


Happy September!

Wanting to have lunch with your child?

Wanting to have lunch with your child?

If you are wanting to have lunch with your child, there are several places you can sit. Check with your child's teacher or call the front office to make sure of the exact time your child eats. As fall weather approaches, take advantage of the opportunity to enjoy some time outside with your child!

International Dot Day

International Dot Day

The Dot is the story of a caring teacher who dares a doubting student to trust in her own abilities by being brave enough to “make her mark”. What begins with a small dot on a piece of paper becomes a breakthrough in confidence and courage, igniting a journey of self-discovery and sharing. International Dot Day encourages people of all ages to harness their creativity. We will be decorating the school and celebrating International Dot Day on Friday, September 15. Please look for additional information coming home from your child's teacher regarding this day.
