Dear Parents, Tardy to school: Over 20 students were tardy on Wednesday this week. That is a lot! Tardy students lose out on instruction and disrupt the class. School is practice for the work world, and those who arrive late to work suffer the consequences. Please make sure your son or daughter is here by 7:50 at the latest.
OLC Olympic Day is Monday, May 23. Can you volunteer? We will have a variety of jobs. We are also looking for parents to provide donations of hot dogs, hot dog buns, individual bags of chips, bottled water, and ice cream sandwiches. Please email me or call the school if you can help out. It will be a lot of fun.
2nd grade boys and girls making their 1st holy Communion on May 7 will wear their 1st Communion dresses/ outfits AGAIN for the OLC Ribbon Mass on Thurs., May 19, at 1:00. Parents are invited.
Questions about financial aid, tuition, payment dates, or refunds should be directed to the operations office. This office is staffed on Mondays and Thursdays, and can also be reached by email: finance@olc-school.org
Library books must be returned by May 18: search the corners of your home! Students may be charged for books not returned.
8th graders did a fantastic job on their Capstone Projects this year. These research projects were on display for parents earlier this week. Some of the topics were very powerful. Congratulations to the OLC band for a beautiful concert on April 27. We are very proud of the progress our band members made this year.
Important dates:
