Personal attacks or derogatory comments about students, staff, or community members. Content that violates the privacy of individuals, including personal or confidential information. Comments should relate to the original post to foster meaningful discussion. Avoid repetitive comments. Posting the same message multiple times disrupts engagement and will be removed.

Fifth graders worked hard on building their classroom environment the first week of school. Mrs. Fernaeus explained, "Students worked in collaborative groups to decide on what we wanted our classroom environment to look, feel, and sound like. We also tried a few teamwork activities like '100s task' and 'blind puzzle.' We had lots of great collaboration and success!" Way to welcome in the new year, grizzlies!

Our grizzlies love being welcomed to school by our OCHS football players! This tradition is so much fun! 🏈❤️🤍🖤

Oh no! Ms. Shelley in the office is SO NERVOUS about dismissal!!!😬Let's set up the kids for success!

To make sure dismissal goes smoothly please be looking for an email with information about PickUp Patrol. This is the system we use to let your student’s teacher know how they get home each day. Having this set up before the first day will make dismissal go smoothly and stress-free if teachers and students know what to do at the end of each day.
Below is a link to a video of how PUP works and the email has the link to create an account and put plans in!

Also, if your student needs to take a bus, use the link below to the Bus Right system that will let transportation know you need bussing for your student.

Gaffney Lane Elementary has partnered with PickUp Patrol to help better manage our dismissal process (en español/em português).
PickUp Patrol provides a layer of safety to our dismissal process by authorizing plan changes and automatically tracking dismissal plans. The application reduces interruptions, speeds up dismissal time, and is administered by our own staff.

ALL plan changes should now be submitted through PickUp Patrol. When making changes, please do not send notes, emails, or call the office, except in an emergency.

Important Action Needed: Please take a few minutes to set up your account so that we can accurately dismiss your child(ren).
