Actually school is starting on Jan 18th. Am I going out of status on Nov 11 or Nov 28? Can you please help

Yes. You could use your grace period of 60 days.

You get 60 days of grace period and within 5 months your classes must start..

The Visa does not control your stay in the U.S. – it only allows you to enter the U.S. It’s OPT and the I-20 that control your stay in the U.S. once you have entered. Since you have 60 days of grace after your OPT expires, and since classes will start before your grace expires, you should be authorized to remain in the U.S. in the interim.
