A: Students in grades 6-8 will be dropped off/picked up at the front of the school. Grades 2-5 should be dropped off/picked up in the back circle. Finally, grades K-1 will be dropped off/picked up at the entrance off Midge Ave. If you have multiple Students, dropped off should be wherever your youngest child's grade meets. Students can be dropped off as early as 7:30am and go directly to the auditorium until the bell rings at 7:50.
Q: What can kids wear on spirit days?
A: Students can wear any OLM shirt and jeans, shorts, skirt. No leggings.
Q: Do I have to purchase uniforms only from the new uniform provider?
A: No, the only thing you really have to purchase from the uniform provider is the girls jumpers/skirts. Pretty much anything that has the school’s plaid pattern has to be bought here.
For boys, you can find navy blue khakis/light blue polos/white button downs/shorts/navy ties/cardigans from Amazon, Children’s Place, Old Navy, Target, etc. You can also find the girl’s white or navy polos/blue khakis/cardigans/shorts/cross ties from the same places.
Q: What is the OLM Script Program? Where can I make purchases? A: Participation in the SCRIP Program is also part of the mandatory fundraising. Each family is responsible to purchase SCRIP making a $250 profit for the school (July-June). If the obligation is not met, families will be billed for the remaining balance due. SCRIP can be purchased in the office during regular business hours or purchased through this website. Use the enrollment code: # 421D93781L743. Contact the office or checkout the SCRIP website to see what stores are included and what percentage of the purchase goes towards your SCRIP obligation.
Q: How do I submit my volunteer hours to the office? A: For meetings, you need to make sure that you sign in on the "Sign In" sheet to receive your hour. For events, you need to find the person who is in charge to fill out the volunteer form at the beginning of the event and then get it signed off by the person in charge when you leave. For field trips, you need to get a volunteer form from the office to complete and turn back into the office.
Q: What does it mean to be a "room parent"? A: If you are a room parent, you are the support parent/ point of contact for the teacher. The teacher will go to you to inform all parents about parties/celebrations and help the teacher with coordination. You are also expected to be the grade representative at all Auction meetings and in charge of coordinating the class donation for the auction. You will also be coordinating the Halloween carnival games for your grade. Most room parents communicate with the parents via a messaging app such as Remind or GroupMe. There are also periodic room parent meetings that you will be expected to attend.
Q: How do I purchase hot lunch and milk for my child? A: Hot lunches are automatically charged to your FACTS account and you will receive an invoice every two weeks. Your child will just let their teacher know at the beginning of the day if they are getting hot lunch. Milk tickets can be purchased from the main office.
