OLOS Preschool is now accepting applications for the 2013-14 school year. We have had several inquiries about preschool services for the upcoming school year and have a pre-registration list in the office. If you or anyone you know are interested, please contact the school office NOW at 573-498-3574. Pre-registration forms may be found in today’s folder for all with a known interest.


The Italian Feast is scheduled for February 2, 2013. To make this the successful fundraiser, we count on the school families in several ways. The first way is donation of time and talent in working at and helping plan the event. The other obvious way we count on families is through donations of items for the Silent Auction. We are asking each school family to donate one item of value to place directly on the Silent Auction. We also ask that each family donate an item of at least $5 value to the “classroom basket”. Each classroom has picked a theme and is responsible for compiling this “themed basket” to put up for bidding at the auction. If you cannot come up with something for the themed basket, please send $5 to the classroom teacher, so that he/she may do the shopping for you. With the seasonal sales, you may be able to get better deals now than waiting until the last minute to purchase your items. The classroom themes are as follows:
PK – Mizzou; K/1 – Game Night, 2 – Anything Dr. Suess, 3/4 – Fishing, 5 – Movie Night, 6 – Spring cleaning supplies, 7 – Hunting, 8 – Cardinals

SCIENCE FAIR – FEBRUARY 15TH - OLOS School will participate in the Science Fair. All students in grades 3rd through 8th will be required to do a project, which will be part of their science grade. Students in grades 6th through 8th will also be required to submit a paper with their project. Students in 6th, 7th, & 8th grades will be eligible to compete in the diocesan fair and should make their project in one of the three categories of Life, Physical or Earth Science. We highly encourage all students to work individually; however, if two students work together they must be in the same grade. The OLOS Science Fair is scheduled for February 15, 2013. Winners from OLOS will compete at the Diocesan Science Fair on March 9, 2013. YOU HAVE RECEIVED SCIENCE FAIR PACKET GUIDELINES. DO NOT THROW THIS AWAY – YOU WILL NEED THIS AS A REFERENCE TOOL!! Students must run an actual experiment and follow closely the Scientific Method, as outlined in the packet. DISPLAY BOARDS ARE $4 EACH. YOU MAY SEND PAYMENT FOR YOURS IN A MARKED ENVELOPE & THE BOARD WILL BE SENT HOME ON FRIDAY (UNLESS OTHER ARRANGEMENTS ARE MADE).


In the event of inclement weather, when school may have to dismiss early, there will be NO EXTENDED CARE SERVICES available. All students should be picked up at the dismissal time which would be announced with the dismissal notification.

INCLEMENT WEATHER: OLOS school will begin phasing in the PARENT ALERT SYSTEM through Option C. This option gives OLOS school the ability to contact parents through an automated alert system for cancellations due to weather and other emergency situations. IT IS THE PARENT’S RESPONSIBILITY to logon to Option C and set up preferences for contact. By default, families will be alerted through an automated voice message to the main phone number and the main email address listed on the “family profile” sheet which you received and updated near the beginning of the school year. You may also opt to have messages sent via text messages to your mobile phone, to additional email addresses and to work numbers. PLEASE LOG ON NOW AND FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS BELOW TO CHOOSE YOUR PREFERENCES:

Logon to www.optionc.com (or click on link on school website), and put in code 8085.
On far right of HOME page, click on “My Settings”
Click on “Family Profile”
Scroll down, click on “Family Alert Contacts”
This is where you select your preferences. You may opt to receive all forms of alerts – email, voice, texts, to both parents phones and email accounts.

We will also contact the local TV & radio stations with cancellation information. This system depends on internet service to the principal (at home & at school), which as we all know is sometimes undependable. If you are ever in doubt, please tune in to the following TV & radio stations: –TV, Channel 8, KRCG-TV Channel 13, ABC-TV Channel 17 and radio stations KLIK, KJMO, KWOS, KPLA, KOQL, KATI, KCLR/Y107.
