QUIZ BOWLS UPDATE: Quiz
Bowl practices began this past week on Thursday after lunch. The scrimmage schedule is on the reverse of
these notes.
SCHOOL CLOSING: Any emergency early dismissal or closing of the school due to weather will be announced by parent alert (text, email) 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.
PROPANE THAT PAYS… 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. The
parish receives a percentage for every gallon the customer buys, and usually
have some of the cheaper prices in the area. (They cannot issue a donation on
the customer’s behalf unless the customer tells them they are a member of the
parish.) In past years the parish has received approximately $1000/yearly.
That’s worthwhile! Thank you for your support!
COMMUNICATION: As we transition office staff, please include all three of the office staff in any email regarding school day schedules, early pick-ups, etc. Thank you for your cooperation!
