Attendance Policy
Attendance Policy
Parents: Absences and appointments can be called in at any time to 616-254-6881 or e-mailed to oakesattendance@gpsbulldogs.org. Please leave your name, your student's name, your student's grade, your student's teacher, the date, and the reason for their absence. (If no reason is given, the absence will be entered as unexcused).
If calling for an appointment, please let us know if they will be arriving to school late or if you will need to pick them up at a certain time. If you need to pick your student up prior to afternoon dismissal (2:35), please make every effort to call/email at least 1 hour before the release time. This helps us to cut down on the number of times that we need to call into classrooms for student early releases. Thank you!
All students leaving prior to our 2:35 dismissal time must be signed out by a parent before leaving the building. If you need someone else to pick your child up, please leave that person's information on the attendance line as well. Thank you!
Students After School
Students After School
For safety, students must be out of the building by 2:45pm on full days of school unless they have an after school event or sport occurring at Oakestown. In which case, those students should immediately head to that activity.
On ½ days, students must be out of the building by 11:00am.
Drink Policy
Drink Policy
Students should not have energy drinks, pop or specialty coffee drinks at school. Please make sure all drinks are finished before entering the building. Water is the only drink allowed in the classrooms and gym.
Birthday and Celebration Treats
Birthday and Celebration Treats
Please be advised that all treats being shared with other students must be either bakery/store-bought or individually packaged. This policy helps us manage allergens and maintain a safe environment for everyone.
Please make sure to coordinate with your child's teacher before you bring in a classroom treat.
As a note, teachers and staff are able to accept homemade treats. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
The Mobile Dentist is coming to Oakestown!
The Mobile Dentist is coming to Oakestown!
The Smiles Mobile Dentist program is an optional school-based dental service that brings professional dental care directly to students in schools. It offers preventative services such as cleanings, x-rays, fluoride treatments, and sealants, along with basic restorative care like fillings. When students have larger/multiple fillings, they will be referred out. The goal is to ensure that students receive dental care regardless of financial or transportation barriers. We schedule dates with them every 6 months, so students who take advantage of the mobile dentist this fall will be revisited in the spring.
SIGN UP TODAY by filling out the permission slip that came home with your student or you can register electronically here: https://www.myschooldentist.com/GMGPMI_schsrm
WHEN: December 9, 2025
COST: Free to Medicaid & MIChild, all others will have their insurance billed
