Great news regarding parent-teacher communication coming from our PK-6 buildings! You've used the Paragould School District app to stay up-to-date on district and school news, events, and dining but now there's MORE! PSD will use Rooms, a parent-teacher chat, that is fully integrated into our app so you can see class specific announcements and to send/receive direct messages to your child's teacher. Download the PSD app today and be on the lookout for an email from EduRooms to get started.
Your Paragould Rams will be at Walmart on West Kingshighway in Paragould on August 5th collecting items to STUFF THE BUS! All donated items stay right here in Greene County schools.
OGMS is getting super excited about seeing everyone back on campus soon. Don't forget to pick up your school supplies and see us at open house on August 8th! ONLY THE BEST AT OGMS!
It was a hot day but we cooled off some kids (and adults) with popsicles today at Labor Park. Popsicles with Principals was a huge hit! Be looking for the next one in July!
All students are invited to have POPSICLES WITH PRINCIPALS! See the photo for date, time and location.
