Starting right is part of the OG policy and Freshmen Orientation sets the tone. Parents and students visit classrooms, find lockers, and experience the students' daily schedule. Prior to orientation, parents have been an important component in deciding the students' Four-Year Plan. The plan is alive and well at OG, as the guidance counselors review the plan each year with each student. Parents are invited to Financial Planning for College night, awards assemblies, the pre-prom, graduation, and all other events at the school.
Parents assist teachers on field trips and serve on improvement councils.
