Oak Grove Middle School

Hey there OGMS family! We are so excited to see smiling faces on our campus tomorrow! Students will meet in the gym, or have breakfast in the cafeteria and then meet in the gym, tomorrow morning. Mr. Dial and Mr. Lamb will speak to the students briefly, and then we'll get them to their homerooms! If you made it to open house, make sure your student brings his or her schedule to school. If you couldn't make it to open house, or if the schedule has disappeared - no worries! We will get your child where they need to go and make sure all of our students have copies of their schedules. Please take note of the drop off and pick up maps for OGMS, if you are dropping your child off or picking them up at all this year. We want ALL of our students and staff to be able to enter the building safely, so please be mindful! #onlytheBESTatOGMS

This year's theme is "It Takes a Village". Today we are opening up the sale of theme shirts to all in our Ram village and that means YOU! Support the Rams and buy one before the shop closes on 8/21/23. Use the QR code on the flyer to order or check out the link on our website.

Hey there OGMS families! We post a LOT of information to social media and our app. Please LIKE and FOLLOW this page for updates. SHARE this page and TAG others who will need OGMS updates so they can be in the know! Don't forget to download the Paragould School District app in your app stores - preferably before open house! We can't wait to get this school year started! #ONLYtheBESTatOGMS #OGMSnews

Open House is coming up soon! OGMS families, we hope to see you there! 6th and 5th grade students will receive schedules, can drop off supplies, and will meet teachers. If you can't make it that night, no worries! We will have schedules for students on the first day of school, and lots of information on how you can get in contact with OGMS staff throughout the year. We can't wait to see you Tuesday! #ONLYtheBESTatOGMS #OGMSopenhouse

The staff and students of the Paragould School District volunteered at the United Way's Stuff the Bus event today. We'd like to say thank you to the patrons of Paragould who generously gave to our students.

OGMS would like to welcome our new 5th grade math teachers into our family. Please welcome Mrs Janette Hill and Mrs. Amy Elkins. These ladies have already been working hard and are ready to meet their students. ONLY THE BEST AT OGMS!

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!
