Parent Involvement

It is the goal of Oak Grove High School that students will graduate ready for college and 21st Century Careers.  The school is aware that students are more likely to be successful if families and educators are informed and work together.  To that end, the school promises to:

  • Assist parents in understanding academic content and achievement standards and assessments.
  • Provide parents with materials and training to help them regularly monitor and improve the achievement of their children. 
  • Educate staff, with the assistance of parents, in the value of parent contributions and how to work with parents as equal partners.
  • Coordinate and integrate parental involvement with other programs and conduct activities that encourage and support parents in more fully participating in the education of their children.
  • Distribute information related to school and parent programs of upcoming academic and informational events via the school’s Teleparent system and School Loop in English and Spanish.

Numerous opportunities are available for parents to become active participants at the school site.  Please visit our website for meeting dates and locations. We encourage and welcome you to participate in one or more of the following committees:
