Policies & Procedures

Our policies and procedures play a critical role in helping every student achieve the highest level of academic success and providing a safe, respectful environment for all members of the Oliver Elementary School Community. It’s important for every member of the school community to read and understand current policies and procedures. Therefore, each family received student handbooks containing school policy and procedure information when they registered. Please make sure you and your child(ren) carefully review the handbooks. Thank you!
