Protecting Oak Grove: Important SAP Update & How to Get Involved

As many of you know, Oak Grove Elementary is being considered in the district’s Student Assignment Plan (SAP) process.

We are organizing as a community to ensure our school remains strong, stable, and supported.

The next few weeks are critical — and there are specific ways you can help.

 

Our next steps as an Oak Grove Community

  • Show Up - Wear OGE!
