OGMS Weekly Update

Principal's Message
Hello Ockley Green Families & Partners -
I continue to hold out hope that we will be able to welcome back our students & staff soon. If you find that you or your child is in need of more support, there are a wide range of resources for families & students available, such as supplemental learning activities by grade-level, student enrichment activities in the community and mental health services. You can access this information through the Buttons included in the Strike Resources section of this newsletter.
We have rescheduled our Picture Retake Day, originally scheduled for November 8th, to be on Monday, November 27th. While the Monday after the Fall Break is not ideal, we wanted to make sure to hold the retakes prior to Winter Break. If you have any questions or concerns, please call the Front Office.
As you notice, we have finally moved to the use of S’More to create the weekly newsletter. I welcome your feedback on what information you would like to have included in this newsletter and ways that we can improve the layout to make it easily accessible to you. Please send your feedback to Principal Secretary, Grace Duncan, gduncan@pps.net.
In Partnership,
Julie Rierson
