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.


Remember to return your Friday Folder on Monday.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Thanks so much to all the wonderful parishioners, parents, students, neighbors, friends, and relatives who made our parish picnic such a success! It makes us proud to see our students out there working side-by-side with the adults. God truly blesses us all!

Reminder: Fundraising Meeting - Tuesday, Sept 11th 6:30 p.m. in the Cafeteria.  This meeting is for those parents who signed up for the committee as well as any other parents who want to get involved. We need your help and creativity to be successful in our fundraising efforts!  

OLOS School Health Screenings will be Monday, Sept. 10th. The Miller County nurses will be reviewing our immunization records that day. That means that if you received notice that your child needs proof of immunizations last week, you will need to provide that by Monday. If you have not provided records by then, your child’s name will be flagged to report to the Mo. Dept of Health. The MCHD will also be doing vision, height, weight, hearing, and lice checks. You will be notified if there is a concern.

GRANDPARENTS DAY:  Tuesday, September 11th at 2:00 pm. We are asking each family to send in a pie on Monday, Sept. 10th. We will be honoring our grandparents that afternoon and also the 2,977 people killed in the 9/11 attack eleven years ago. All students and grandparents are asked to dress in red/white/blue to commemorate Patriot Day. If you dress in patriotic colors, you may dress down, but all length and sleeve requirements are still in force. IF YOUR CHILD IS LEAVING THAT AFTERNOON WITH GRANDPARENTS OR SOMEONE ELSE, PLEASE WRITE A NOTE GIVING PERMISSION.

The Option C information you received last week should have said “only students in grades 3-8 will have grades posted. It mistakenly said 2-8. 2nd graders will not have grades posted on Option C.

Mark your calendar:  Pro-Life March in Washington D. C. – Jan. 23-26. More info. to follow.

Remember – once your child earns the 75 point Reading Counts T-shirt, he/she may wear them at any time in lieu of their regular dress code collared shirt.

The Home & School and School Advisory Board meetings have been rescheduled for Monday, September 24th for 6:30 and 7:30 pm respectively. The Home & School will be in need of new officers – we know for sure we will need a new treasurer. Please be thinking and praying about this opportunity to serve with your time and talent.

We have scheduled with Father the date for 8th grade graduation. It will be Saturday, May 4, 2013, with a 5:00 pm Mass and reception afterwards. Thanks for the input we received regarding graduation.

Students in Grades 4-8 will have the opportunity to serve on Student Council. Students must express their desire to the classroom teacher to run for Council by the end of the day Monday. Students may only run if they can commit to attend meetings one afternoon a month, after school, and to any extra activities it may involve. Students in the younger grades may run for class representative (2 per grade) and students in the older grades may run for either class representative or officer positions.

OLOS School received $255.15 in Target’s “Take Charge of Education” campaign. You can help your school through this program. Here’s how it works:  When parents, teachers, and other school supporters use the REDcard, Target donates up to 1% of the purchases to the school they designate. To learn more visit Target.com/tcoe or ask at the stores information desk. Thanks to those who participate in this program.

PRESCHOOL, KINDERGARTEN & FIRST GRADE FIELD TRIP to FISCHER FARM (across the river) will be on
October 19th, from 9:00 -10:30 am. The trip includes a maze with hay bales, a hayride, and the farm animals. The students will also all receive a big pumpkin, a small pumpkin & a gourd. More details will be coming out soon regarding this trip, but mark your calendar now if you are interested in going along. Cost for adults will be $6 for all, or $1 for hayride only. Students will need Wal-Mart bags that day, so if you have any extra, please send them to school anytime. Thanks!

VOLLEYBALL PARENTS:  If girls get dropped of early for volleyball practice, they will go to extended care and be charged the $5 drop in fee for it. PRACTICE DOES NOT BEGIN UNTIL 5:30 PM.

PRESCHOOL PARENTS:  Unless authorized through Marie, no switching of days is allowed for part-time preschoolers. The only exceptions would be for classroom parties and field trips.

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. ALL LUNCH FEES MUST BE PAID THROUGH THE SCHOOL, NOT THE PARISH. Lunch fees are not legitimate tax deductions. Lunches are being billed on the middle of each month (generally the 15th of each month), August through April. This is a change from last year, when lunches were billed at the end of each month. If a child wants a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in lieu of the main entrée, he/she should bring a note from the parent on EACH DAY that this is desired.

MORNING DROP OFF:  This is a reminder that students (except extended care students) are to be dropped off after 7:25 am in the morning. Classes begin at 7:45 am. All students dropped off before 7:25 am will be charged for extended care – a $5 fee.

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 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. Please write these numbers down now so that you have them when you need them.  Thank you for your consideration.

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.
