We have successfully completed three weeks of school (officially after tomorrow). Due to the students low numbers of discipline referrals in both grades, all OGMS students can wear a hat to school tomorrow. And don’t forget, no school Monday! ONLY THE BEST AT OGMS!
Health and safety will always remain a top priority for the Paragould School District. In April of 2022 the district discontinued the practice of contact tracing/quarantining of probable close contacts and reimplemented policy 4.34 as the district’s response to student illnesses. We continue to utilize policy 4.34 to guide our response to illnesses.
Anyone who tests positive for COVID-19 will be required to isolate at home for 5 days from the onset of symptoms or a positive test. The Arkansas Department of Health guidance states that the isolated individual may return to school on day 6 with a mask and must continue to wear the mask around others through the 10th day. If the Individual is unable to wear a mask, he/she will be required to continue to isolate for the full 10 days.
If you have any questions regarding COVID-19 please contact Lynn Treece at 870-565-8686 or email ltreece@paragouldschools.net.
Don't forget about our parent meeting tonight at 5:30 pm! Come to the main building entrance and we will direct you to the multipurpose room.
See you there!
Today we are highlighting 4 new staff members: Grace Dial, Brandon Harper, Markus Pillow, and Chandel Knuckles. Welcome to the Ram family!
