SCHOOL PORTRAIT RETAKE DAY will be Thursday, October 1^st. If you ordered a packet that included a class composite, the composite will be delivered after the retake day.

WATER BOTTLES: Please make sure your child is bringing their refillable water bottles to school each day.

 PARISH QUILT RAFFLE: Reminder – tickets are $20 each and may be purchased at M. H. Bank, the Parish office, or from any quilter.

SHIRT/HOODIE ORDER FORMS: Order forms sent home last week are due this Monday, Sept. 15^th. While Tammy will take orders throughout the year, it is helpful and more cost effective if she can order in batches.

 STUDENT BILLING: Billing for preschool will be every 2 weeks. We will be billing for lunch approximately every 18 days @ $45 per time period, for a total of $405 for the year. At the present time, extended care bills are going out at the end of the month. If once a month is not convenient for you for extended care, please call Rosie in the office to discuss.

 FANTASY NIGHT: Tentative plans are to hold Fantasy Night, our second biggest fundraiser (after the picnic), on Saturday, Feb. 6^th, 2021.

 HEALTH SCREENINGS will be a little later this year – the morning of Tuesday, November 3^rd. Miller Co. Health Dept. will only be able to send two nurses to OLOSS that day, and they will do the vision and hearing screenings. We are in need of two volunteers to help with height/weight measurements, and to help move students through the process. Please, if you are able, call Rosie in the office. Volunteers would be required to wear masks, gloves, and have a temperature check upon entrance to the school.

BOX OF JOY: Please consider sponsoring a Box of Joy so that a child who may have never had a Christmas gift before will experience the love of Christ in the upcoming Christmas season. Boxes are available anytime from the school office or the vestibules of church. Cross Catholic Outreach, the sponsor of the program, asks that you include a payment of $9 to offset the shipping of the Box, and also to promote their ministry. You may return your filled box anytime up through October 25^th, which will be our final collection date. Remember – don’t seal your box shut, just wrap with a rubber-band. Thanks to all who are participating in this program.

If you would like to purchase, please send $5 in this folder or with your child.

SELF-STUDY – rescheduled – Our 19-20 self-study accreditation process was put on hold due to the early Covid shut-down last spring. It is now on the calendar for October 14-16, 2020. More information on the day to day schedule for the self-study will be forthcoming as we receive more information from the diocesan school office.

EMERGENCY DRILLS: We will be rotating through emergency drills in the next few weeks. Teachers will discuss these drills with their students, but you may choose to discuss these with your child at home to alleviate any fears or apprehension they may have. Practiced drills are fire, earthquake, tornado, and intruder.

Vice-Pres. – Joan Doerhoff

Secretary – Cindy McKenna

Treasurer – Gregg Koetting
