New Families (and reminder to all families!): Each Friday (or the last day we are here each week) you will receive the “Family Folder”. This folder comes from the office and always contains highly important information. There will be times that you will need to fill out one or more forms and return. This is the BEST way to stay informed about all that is going on in the school and to make payments. Your involvement and awareness is crucial to your child’s success at OLOS. We ask that you make every effort to review all enclosed materials, fill out any needed paperwork, and return to school each Monday morning. Your child will hand them to the classroom teacher, who will then forward to the office. Thanks so much for your cooperation and help!
Needed for Lunchroom – Microwaves. Please contact someone in the office if you have one to donate.
Lunches: Lunch fees this year are $37/month for 9 months (or $8/month, reduced), flat rate, regardless if your child eats lunch or not (due to absences or the occasional sack lunch). This puts the daily lunch fees at approximately $1.91 per day. If you elected to opt out of lunches, your child may not eat any school lunches throughout the year.
Due to Federal funding cuts, OLOS School is not receiving enough entitlement monies to fund after school tutoring. There will be NO AFTER SCHOOL TUTORING THIS YEAR. Mrs. Barnicle will be here in the very near future to provide services during the school day to those students who qualify. Additionally, students in the 7th and 8th grades no longer qualify for tutoring services offered by Title 1/Mrs. Barnicle. Due to the fact that Eugene does not offer title services to their 7th/8th grades, we are not allowed to do so either.
FREE & RECUCED LUNCH APPLICATIONS ARE IN TODAY’S FOLDER. PLEASE FILL THESE OUT AND RETURN TO SCHOOL IF YOU ARE INTERESTED. WE HIGHLY URGE YOU TO FILL THESE OUT, EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT SURE YOU QUALIFY BECAUSE THE SCHOOL DIRECTLY BENEFITS FROM ALL STUDENTS RECEIVING FREE OR REDUCED LUNCHES.
You will notice that next Friday we have our first $1 Dress Down Day. Students may dress down in they bring in $1, the proceeds going to our sponsored child, Guito, via the Student Council. Guito is a boy from South America who we have been sponsoring for three years through the Christian Foundation for Children & Aging. Although students may dress down, all length and sleeve requirements are still in force.
VAN SERVICE: The van is running two routes in the mornings and the evenings. Therefore, we have no additional room for friends. ONLY THOSE PAYING FOR VAN SERVICE CAN RIDE THE VAN. Please remember to take this into account if your child invites friends over so that you may make other arrangements for transportation. PLEASE WRITE THESE NUMBERS DOWN!!! Please use common courtesy and call Jim in the mornings if your child is not riding the bus. This may avoid a trip out of the way or a long wait, which throws others late. Jim’s numbers are: 498-3595 before 6:10 am, and 694-2214 after 6:10 am. Thank you for your consideration.
PLEASE PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE PICK/UP & DROP OFF PROCEDURES OUTLINED IN TODAY’S FOLDER – PLEASE NOTE THAT THE DIRECTION OF TRAFFIC HAS REVERSED – IN MORNINGS & EVENINGS: Turn in to school past bank & proceed down lane to back of gym for drop off or to walk your child in, exit out by the cemetery.
We welcome a new little bundle of joy to the OLOS family! Welcome to little Alayna Rose Wood, born July 26th to Aaron & Roselyn Wood. Alayna weighed 8lbs. 12 oz. and was 20 ½ inches long. Brothers Garet (K), Gavin (4th) & sister Rachel (8th), along with Raegan (high school) & Avery (little guy) are so very proud because now there are three boys and three girls in the family – perfect! Congratulations to the Wood family!
SUBS NEEDED AT OLOS SCHOOL: 60 college hours required. Please think of anyone you know who might be interested and let them know about this opportunity. We have very limited substitute help. Please contact Mrs. Trachsel for more information.
Deadline for Friday note information is Thursdays, 9:00 am. All non-school related flyers need to be copied ahead of time on paper (the school cannot afford to supply paper for outside events). Upon approval by the principal, the information will then be placed in the Friday folder as a courtesy. It is not appropriate for the school to send out extraneous information that can be handled other ways. Also, if you have items for the Friday notes, please write these items up, send them in, or email them to rosie@radiowire.net (call to let me know you have emailed please). I don’t mind doing a little editing and rewording, but the bulk of the item should be outlined with details.
Reminder to parents: We do not have a “stock supply” of medications for students. You may choose to send in a pain reliever or other types of medicine for your child. Make sure to clearly mark the container(s), and send a note giving staff permission to dispense the medication, with explicit dosage instructions. Sometimes having medicine available here for your child can mean not having to come after him/her or making a special trip to bring
medications.
HOMEWORK can only be picked up between 3:00 and 3:15 each day for students who have been absent. Requests can be made to send work home with siblings or others. Please specifically request homework when calling in your child’s absence if you so prefer. Some parents prefer to not have the homework, especially if their child is still feeling unwell.
Remember to return your Friday Folder on Monday.
Have a great weekend!
