School Access During Drills

Once per quarter the school will conduct a fire, tornado and lockdown drill. These can take 3-5 minutes. During these drills parents will not have access to the school building. If you arrive to sign out your student for an appointment or to sign them in, you will need to wait until the drill has been completed before being admitted. Thank you for your understanding. 

**All volunteers are required you complete Virtus Training VIRTUS® Online (virtusonline.org and the *NEW* https://protectmokids.com/. Both are available online and when completed certificates need to be emailed to or dropped off at the school office. These are both diocesan requirements for volunteers in any school.**

ARCHERY COACHES are needed to assist for the 2024-25 season. Those interested in being trained please reach out to Rob Rastorfer, olparchery@gmail.com.

The end of the 1st Quarter is quickly approaching, on Friday, October 18. As a reminder, all accounts must be current, as indicated below, in order for your child’s report card to be released.

--Tuition payments: Please remember that tuition payments must be paid in full through September by Monday, October 21 at 10:00 a.m. in order for your child(ren)’s report cards to be released. Payments received after this time will be applied to your account, but these grade cards will not be released until Monday, October 28. You may go online at www.sycamore.com to check your tuition balance and to make your tuition payments. Checks or cash may be dropped off at the school or parish offices.

--Lunch Accounts must be current without a negative balance through October 18. Online payments should be made directly into your Sycamore account. If questions, please contact Mrs. Melissa Wade, at mwade@olpls.org.

Early Pickups Before 2:30 p.m.

If you are needing to pick-up students early for an appointment, we ask that you do so prior to 2:30 p.m. This helps avoid congestion at the time of student dismissal as the school office is particularly busy at this time of the school day. We appreciate your help with this.

OLP will be conducting routine vision and hearing screenings next Monday, October 21 and Tuesday, October 22. We will do vision and hearing screens as well as height and weight on K-3^rd grade students and all new students to our school. We will do vision screens only on 5^th and 7^th grade students and height and weight only on 8^th grade students. Parents will be notified if students fail the initial screen and need a re-check. Thank you! 

Please adhere to Dress Down Guidelines. Donation to Trunk or Treat may be made online at https://olpspiritshop.com/collections/trunk-or-treat-1 or cash sent with student(s) on Tuesday.
