place orders and make staffing decisions based on your response. If you know of
any families who may have an interest in sending their child to OLOS School,
please encourage them to contact the school office, or give us their contact
information so that we may reach out to them. Families of all preschool and
kindergarten age children listed in the parish baptismal records should receive

respective classrooms. If you need more information, please don’t hesitate to
call.
