Message from the Principal
[PLACEHOLDER CONTENT] I believe that a strong partnership between home and school is essential for student success. We are committed to providing a nurturing and challenging learning environment, and your active participation in your child's education plays a vital role.
Here are a few tips to help your child achieve their full potential:
- Establish a consistent homework routine: Designate a quiet, well-lit space for homework and set a regular time for its completion.
- Encourage reading: Read with your child daily, even for just 15-20 minutes. This helps develop vocabulary, comprehension, and a love of reading.
- Limit screen time: Set reasonable limits on television, video games, and other electronic devices, especially during study time.
- Celebrate effort and progress: Focus on your child's hard work and improvement, rather than just grades.
- Ensure adequate sleep and nutrition: A well-rested and nourished child is better able to focus and learn.
- Communicate with the teacher: Use ParentSquare to stay in regular contact with your child's teacher to discuss their progress, address any concerns, and collaborate on strategies to support their learning.
We believe that by working together, we can create a strong foundation for your child's academic and personal growth. Please do not hesitate to reach out to your child's teacher or the school office if you have any questions or need additional support.
Warm regards,
[Principal's Name]

ABOUT US
About Our School
Nestled amidst the picturesque landscapes of Poughkeepsie, the Oak Grove Elementary School has been an integral part of our community since 1963.
Oak Grove Elementary School is one of ten elementary schools in the Wappingers Central School District. It is located in the Mid-Hudson Valley in Poughkeepsie, about 75 miles north of New York City. Oak Grove has approximately 500 students in Grades K-6.
It is a friendly, inviting school nestled among the houses in a well-kept, tree-lined neighborhood. The building is set back from the road and is not visible until visitors round a curve and come upon it! In 1971, the original one-room scholhouse established in 1812 was moved to the Oak Grove property.
