along with the $8 fee, with checks made payable to OLOSS. Remember, students must bring a sack lunch and
drink. They may wear jeans (nice), but we are asking that they wear their
school spirit shirts. Students will leave promptly at 7:45 and may return after
the school day is over (3:30ish?). Please make arrangements for pick-up, if
necessary.
DUE TO THE HIGH RISK OF FLU this year, and in
our effort to contain transmission, any student exhibiting signs of the flu,
which include, but is not limited to: fever, chills, nonproductive cough,
sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle and body aches, headache and fatigue,
and in some cases, vomiting & diarrhea, will be sent to the office and
parents called for pick up. IF YOUR CHILD EXHIBITS ANY OF THESE SIGNS AT HOME –
NO MATTER HOW MILD – PLEASE KEEP THEM HOME AS A PRECAUTION. If your child has
the flu, doctors generally recommend that they do not return to school for one
week.
8TH GRADE GRADUATION – Saturday, May
12 – 5:00 pm Mass, with reception following.
PLEASE RETURN YOUR FOLDER ON MONDAY!
