Invite to the OGE Principal Advisory Council Meeting!

Parents are invited to attend the OGE's Principal Advisory Council meeting on February 26 at 8 am. The meeting will be hybrid, held in person at school and virtually via Google meet.

PAC serves as a platform for fostering connections between parents, school staff, students, and the community to foster mutual understanding, encourage engagement, and support student achievement. PAC members, parents and educators, work alongside with the principal to provide input on key topics such as 📚 Academics, 🏫 Facilities, 🔒 Security, 👩‍🏫 Staffing, 📉 Attendance  and💡 Innovation, to enhance the learning environment and overall school experience.

This is an excellent opportunity to listen in and share any ideas or concerns you’d like to discuss. We look forward to your participation!
