HOME
& SCHOOL MEETING/ARCHERY INFO! Our 3rd H & S meeting is scheduled
for this upcoming Monday, January 9th at 6:00 pm, beginning with a
potluck meal in the school cafeteria. We will begin the meeting at 6:15 pm with
a short archery presentation & question & answer session with
Andy Adrian. Please make plans to attend this meeting, as we need ALL school
parents in support of our school. You will earn a “bonus” dress down pass
for your child just for attending!
HOME & SCHOOL AGENDA: Items may be added to the agenda by contacting Roselyn Wood by 9:00 am Monday morning, and with the approval of Mrs. Varner. The H & S’s mission is to promote our school through family & community participation and by supporting teachers & facilitating communication.
BALLGAME NEWS: All reports were that the boys fought hard on Thursday night, but in the end did not win against St. Peter, JC. We are proud of their good spirit and sportsman- ship. Our cheer team also showed much school pride and we are so proud of them as well! Thanks to all parents for traveling to these games!
COMMUNITY SERVICE DAY: On Monday, our students will be involved in our January Community Service Day, with the theme this month on our own parish and school. Each classroom has picked a specific project in service to our parish and school – in essence, an early “spring cleaning”, doing tasks such as dusting, cleaning walls, cleaning windows, and so on. Remember, your child should come to school on Monday wearing their community “Heart” shirts (Tuesday for preschoolers) and may dress down (bottoms) adhering to all length and the no holes/fraying requirements.
I-READY TESTING: Students will take part in I-Ready testing next week. We will use the results of this test to meet the unique needs of each student.
SCHOOL CLOSING: Any emergency early dismissal or closing of the school will be announced by parent alert (text, email, voice) and through social media, as well as over area television stations. PARENTS SHOULD NOT CALL the school office during inclement weather conditions to learn if the school is closing early. This unnecessarily ties up our phone lines for emergency communications. A phone call into school during this time will delay the process of getting our communications out to all families. Please note that afternoon extended care services are NOT available in the event of early dismissal due to weather or other emergencies.
THINGS TO BE AWARE OF IN THE UPCOMING MONTHS:
·
If you
drive students other than your own on a field trip, you must have VIRTUS (Protecting
God’s Children) training & also must show proof of $100,000/$300,000
insurance coverage.
·
All
School parents/guardians will be REQUIRED to have VIRTUS training to enroll their child in OLOS
School next school year. This includes BOTH parents. This training is offered
online @ virtusonline.org. You simply create and account, specify that you are
with “Jefferson City Diocese” and begin the training. It usually takes a little
less than two hours total, and you can save your progress and come back to it
later, if needed. Set this as one of your New Year goals! Thank you!
NO SCHOOL on Monday, January 16th, in observance of Martin
Luther King, Jr. Day.
PROPANE THAT PAYS… Propane is projected to cost much more this winter. Ordering early can help offset some of this cost for you. This is the time of year when many people like to fill propane tanks or prepay. If you are or would like to be a customer of Capital Energy Co, please LET THEM KNOW that you are a member of OLOS parish (They cannot issue a donation on the customer’s behalf unless the customer tells them they are a member of the parish.) The parish receives a percentage for every gallon the customer buys, and usually have some of the cheaper prices in the area. Last year the parish received nearly $1000. That’s worthwhile! Thank you for your support!
YOUR CHANCE TO WIN DRESS DOWN PASSES! All families returning their 22-23 Friday folder (The Heavens Declare the Glory of the Lord) by the Tuesday of the week following, with any needed paperwork completed, will be placed in a drawing for a bonus dress down pass for students in their family. Congratulations Natalie & Charlotte for winning our last drawing!
Please return your folder on Monday.
Have a wonderful WINTER weekend!
