School System Helps Parents Find Dove Creek Elementary Entrance

Parents dropping their children off at Oconee County’s new Dove Creek Elementary School for the first day of classes on Wednesday will use the school’s entrance off the newly paved V.M. Osborne Road.

Buses will use another entrance directly off Hog Mountain Road.

School administrators assured Board of Education members at their regular meeting last week that the school would be accessible for the opening of school even though road work around the school is not scheduled to be completed until the end of October.

The School System has released a map to help parents find their way from Hog Mountain Road, along Osborne Road and then V.M. Osborne Road, to the drop-off point for children.

The Board got to experience at the official opening ceremony for the school last week what parents and bus drivers will experience on opening day.

An estimated 300 people, including incoming students, showed up that day as Board members joined school administrators in cutting the ribbon officially opening the school’s doors to the public.

For more on this story, with a map of the route to use to enter the school and videos of the ribbon cutting ceremony and of the Board of Education meeting last week, go to Oconee County Observations.
