PUMPKIN CARVERS NEEDED!

We need more helping hands to bring one of our favorite Pumpkin Patch traditions to life! Grab a friend, pick a shift, and come help us carve pumpkins! No artistic talent required, just a willingness to scoop, carve, and get a little messy!

GEAR UP OGS REGISTRATION IS OPEN!

GEAR UP OGS is a school-wide bike safety initiative that encourages students to bike to school safely and confidently. 3rd grade students will receive bike safety training in PE, and, starting October 23, 2026, students in Grades 3 - 5 will have the option to bike to school in neighborhood-based “bike trains” led by trained parent volunteers. Students in Grades K – 2 are welcome to join their neighborhood train, but they must be accompanied by a designated parent/caregiver who is not volunteering at the time. 

Sign up to ride, learn more about the program and how you can get involved by clicking the link below!

SUPPORT THE OGS DOLPHIN CIRCLE

Did your Dolphin host a lemonade stand, bake sale, bracelet stand, or other fundraiser this summer? Submit the proceeds through the Dolphin Circle Donation Form and be sure to select your child’s 2026–2027 grade so the contribution is credited to the correct class.

Didn’t get to it over the summer? There’s still time to participate. Students can create their own fundraiser and donate the proceeds to help bring the Dolphin Circle to life.

IT'S TIME TO SIGN UP FOR THE PTA
MEMBERSHIP IS SIMPLE. THE IMPACT IS BIG.

What is PTA Membership?
The OGS PTA helps make so much of what our children experience at school possible, from Curriculum Enrichment and field trips to assemblies, teacher grants, community events, and many of the extras that make OGS such a special place.

And one important thing to know: Joining the PTA does not mean you are signing up to volunteer.

PTA membership simply connects your family to the OGS community. As a member, you receive access to the school directory, event registration, PTA programs, and opportunities to get involved throughout the year, if and when you choose.

There is no volunteer requirement, no committee assignment, and no obligation beyond membership itself.

Membership is renewed each school year

PTA membership is annual, so all families need to renew at the beginning of each school year, even if you joined last year.

WHY YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS

Because Old Greenwich School is a public school, many of the experiences our children enjoy beyond the core school curriculum are made possible through the generosity and participation of OGS families.

Each year, the PTA funds approximately $300 per student to support programs and experiences such as:

• Curriculum Enrichment
• Teacher Grants
• Field Trips
• Assemblies
• School and Community Events
• Student Programs and Activities
• Classroom and School Enhancements

These are the experiences that bring learning to life, support our teachers, build community, and help make OGS feel like OGS.

WE'RE ASKING YOU TO CONSIDER GIVING WHAT THE PTA SPENDS ON YOUR CHILD EACH YEAR

As you renew your PTA membership, we kindly ask families who are able to consider making a $300 contribution per student.

Your support helps ensure that the programs and experiences OGS students have enjoyed in years past can continue for every child this year.

Every membership matters. Every contribution makes a difference. And volunteering is always optional.

JOIN OR RENEW YOUR ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP NOW!

OGS RENOVATION UPDATE

The project is now in Phases 1A and 1C, which include construction of the new kindergarten addition, installation of a new elevator, and adjacent bathroom renovations. In September, work will continue on the new addition, mechanical spaces, and elevator installation. The back of OGS remains an active construction site and public access to construction areas is prohibited.
