Students in Grade 2 will receive a mid-term report in this folder. Students’ grades in Grades 3-8 are to viewed online via the parent portal at .www.factsmgt.com, using our school code – OLS-MO – and your individual username and password. Please sign & return the enclosed report/form on Monday. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the classroom teacher.

 SCHOOL PORTRAIT RETAKE DAY will be Thursday, October 1st. If you would like your child’s picture retaken, please return the intact package to the office as soon as possible. If you ordered a packet that included a class composite, the composite will be delivered after the retake day.

WATER BOTTLES/MASKS: Please make sure your child is bringing their refillable water bottle and mask to school each day.

STUDENT COUNCIL – Mark your calendar for our first meeting, planned for Thursday, October 1st, 3:30 – 4:30 pm. Please make sure to send a note to school, giving your child permission to stay for the meeting.

 PARISH QUILT RAFFLE: Sold out – no additional tickets printed. Thank you for supporting OLOS Parish & School!

STUDENT BILLING: Billing for preschool will be every 2 weeks. You are receiving a preschool bill today for the previous two weeks. Due to newly adopted free lunch for all, we will be billing for a partial month of lunches already served through 9/18, and your bill should be found in next Thursday’s folder. 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.

EXTRA ITEMS – CLEARANCE! 1-1 gal Women’s Shower Gel – “Another Love” scent, with pump - $15, 1-5 gal “Original Blue w/Softener” Laundry Detergent, with pump; 1-5 gal “Mango Twist” Laundry Detergent, with pump; 2-5 gal “Original Green” Laundry Detergent, with pump. 5 gal laundry detergents all price reduced to $35 each (was $45). Call or send a note to the office to see if they are still available.

HEALTH SCREENINGS will be a little later this year – the morning of Tuesday, November 3rd. 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 25th, which will be our final collection date. Remember – don’t seal your box shut, just wrap with a rubber-band. Request a box anytime (or more boxes!) by contacting Rosie in the office. Thanks to all who are participating in this program.

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

 NAVY BLUE DRAW-STRING BAGS with the new OLOSS logo are available from the school office at the cost of $5. Many thanks to Tammy & Greg Love, for donating these bags to the school for fundraising purposes. A black & white picture is on the reverse of these notes, but if you want to see the color photo, they follow last week’s newsletter posted on the school website under the office information tab. 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.

 HOME & SCHOOL ASSOCIATION: Thanks to all who attended the meeting Tuesday evening. New officers were chosen. They are:

Vice-Pres. – Joan Doerhoff

Secretary – Cindy McKenna

Treasurer – Gregg Koetting

Nominations are open for President and will be discussed at the next meeting, which is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 10TH at 6:00 pm.

 FREE MEALS FOR ALL STUDENTS: Beginning Monday, September 21, ALL students at Our Lady of the Snows School will be able to receive FREE lunch through DESE Seamless Summer Option and the USDA. The free meals will be available through December 31, 2020, or until the funds run out. If your child does not attend OLOS School, you may request to pick up a free lunch for any child age 1 to 18. If you wish to order meals for children not enrolled in OLOS School, you will need to contact Carla Morris before 8:15 daily at 573-498-3574 to request the meals.
