Our Lady of Guadalupe School fosters Gospel values, inspires academic excellence, and develops service and leadership. We face this as a sacramental community united and
sponsored by the Holy Spirit.

This month, we recognized students chosen for their strong mission alignment to "a faith inspired Catholic". |

We are loving these beautiful fall days! |

Dear OLG Families,
As we move into October, we are heading soon into Fall Conferences and our Halloween Carnival (both coming in just about two weeks time!). A special invite to signupgenius will come out soon for Fall Conferences with more details, but save the dates for parent-teacher conferences on Thursday and Friday (10/27 & 10/28). Here are a few brief mentions of practical news of this week:
Finally, I want to especially thank all the volunteers who have stepped up (both adults and peer tutors) to get a great After School Tutoring program going this week. We look forward to sharing the news of progress and growth in all our students with this and all the other additional supports as we gather together at conferences.
Tomorrow is a statewide inservice day for teachers and staff to gather and reflect on their craft. As professionals dedicated to educating our children, we know we are at our best when we are in communion with each other. On that note, we have invited the Holy Rosary school staff to join together with OLG in this professional development day and are excited to share in this together. Our office will be closed as well for this inservice day in support of these efforts. Thank you for supporting the professional growth of all our fabulous OLG educators this October 14th.

Yours in Christ,
