Parents are required to process the annual verification for students that attended Oak Grove during the 2023-2024 school year. Annual verification is processed through the Infinite Campus parent portal.


If you have any questions, email Mrs. Scott at: harriet_g_scott@dekalbschoolsga.org

Send Grover a Postcard This Summer!

Grover hopes everyone has a great summer and wants to hear all about it!

Students can send postcards to:

Grover c/o Oak Grove Elementary
1857 Oak Grove Road NE
Atlanta, GA 30345

Writing letters and postcards improves handwriting as well as communication and social skills. Grover LOVES sending mail as much as receiving mail, so your child may even get a postcard back!

Summer Ultimate Frisbee Clinics at Lakeside!

The Lakeside HS Ultimate Frisbee team will be hosting free clinics to teach the sport on Wednesdays from 6-8 pm this summer beginning June 5 at the Lakeside HS field. Boys and girls from 3rd through 12th grade are welcome! 

Lakeside coaches and players from the 2024 state champions team will lead the clinics. This is a great way for young players to learn how to play a fun and fast-growing sport.
