New School Hours for the 2025-2026 School Year


After a review of our school hours and busing I am excited to announce new school hours for the 2025-2026 school year.  


All students

Preschool - 8th grade

will report at 8:00AM and be dismissed at 3:00PM.   


This decision was made with a focus on our students and families.  Many of our school families have students in both middle school and elementary.  This will ease the pick-up and drop-off for them.  As our enrollment continues to grow it is essential that the OLOL staff has collaboration time to brainstorm ideas, be trained on new practices, share best practices, and build a strong bond with each other.  These new school hours will allow for more of these opportunities which will help bring out the best in our students.  Finally and most important, these school hours are the optimum time that students are prepared for learning. Data shows these are peak learning times.  Please let me know if you have any questions. 


Educating mind, body, and spirit,

OLOL School Library News - Summer Reading Challenge


We will be doing the Summer Reading Challenge again this year. Each grade level has a different reading goal. We are trying to encourage students to read over the summer to help avoid the “summer slide”. Student reading sheets need to be returned by Tuesday, Sept 2. Those completing their sheet will receive a dress down day, a certificate and an award keychain. The grade with the highest percentage of participation will receive a free recess.


Summer Reading Challenge sheets have been distributed to the students in grades K-7. The expectation is that the children will read the books, not have them read to them. Different grade levels have different sheets.


Click these links to view/print the Summer Reading Challenge:


The grade with the highest number of participants will receive an extra recess. If your child loses the sheet, please email Mrs. Brys for a replacement at sbrys@gracesytem.org. Happy Reading!


Mrs. Brys
