MORNING DROP-OFF: Please make every effort to drop off your child before 7:40 in the morning. The school day begins at 7:45, after which students are counted absent or tardy. Drop off time is officially listed in the handbook through 7:45 am, but to ensure that students are counted and with their class by 7:45 am, we ask that they are dropped off just a few minutes earlier. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.

HOME & SCHOOL MEETING: Please see enclosed summary of meeting.

FANTASY NIGHT PLANNING MEETING is scheduled for Tuesday, December 1st at 6:00 pm. All parishioners/school families/interested parties are welcome & encouraged to attend. This fundraiser will replace our Mexican Feast this spring. Topics covered will be timing of this fundraiser, possibility of hosting a virtual event, cost of tickets, food, etc.

ADOPTING TWO FAMILIES: OLOS School will again be adopting two families through the same organization as last year, Hope for Christmas – Jefferson City, We ask that families participate in this instead of the class gift exchange.

CHRISTMAS THEMES: During December students will have another week of daily dress themes, including tacky Christmas gear day (ugly/ridiculous sweater, shirt), Christmas sock day, red & green explosion day, holiday hat/headwear day, and PJ day. Please refer to the OLOS online calendar for more details.

INFLUENZA VACCINE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR EVERYONE: taken from document dated 9/23/20 the Missouri Center for Public Health Excellence…the CDC states that “for the upcoming influenza season, the influenza vaccine will be paramount to reduce the impact of respiratory illnesses in the population and resulting burdens on the healthcare system during the COVID-19 pandemic.” The co-existence of COVID-19 and influenza may cause high numbers of absenteeism. With these things in mind, we strongly recommend influenza vaccination for all who can medically receive it.

EXTRA ITEMS – CLEARANCE! 1-5 gal “Mango Twist” Laundry Detergent, with pump - $35; Call or send a note to the office if you would like to purchase.
