Welcome Back! Here is the 2022-2023 School Supply list for each grade! We look forward to see your student(s) in the fall!
Greetings Fellow Oak Grove-Bellemeade School Community Members:
I am deeply honored to join the Oak Grove-Bellemeade School community! Throughout my experience as a teacher, coach and principal, I’ve held true to the belief that as educators, we not only prepare our scholars for the academic rigor of college and beyond, but also develop citizenship and social skills that empower our scholars to be agents of change for their community and our world. To ensure we are able to lead our scholars to excellence and beyond, as I join the Oak Grove-Bellemeade School community, the first priorities I will focus on are in our Entry Plan for 2022-2023. Please read the plan that is attached.
Thank You,
Fatima Smith, Principal
Oak Grove-Bellemeade Elementary School
