The police department was called to a bus accident early this morning. Both the bus and the private vehicle were operable after the incident. No injuries were reported. Students on the bus are fine and have been delivered to their school. Thank you for your patience.

Today is the LAST day to order a yearbook, IF you want it personalized (your child's name and/or icons on the cover). To order, simply go to www.jostens.com, search for Oak Grove Middle School, and place your order! If you already have an account, make sure you're ordering for Oak Grove Middle School and not another campus. Plain yearbooks (yearbooks with no personalization) will be on sale for a bit longer, but we only have a few left, so reserve your copy as soon as you can to preserve those middle school memories!
