Dear OLMC Community:

On the calendar this week is listed as Catholic Schools Week. This is incorrect. CSW begins on January 31st. Therefore, the lunch menu lists this Tuesday, January 26th as a free pizza day provided by Home and School. This is incorrect. The CSW free pizza day will be Tuesday, February 2nd. Please make sure to order lunch or pack a lunch for your child this Tuesday. We will have our regular pizza sale on Friday. 

We are going to begin rolling out our re-enrollment for the 2021-2022 school year. The fee for re-enrollment is $300. If you re-enroll between January 31 and February 5, we will cut the enrollment fee in half to $150.00. Next week I will send home the link to re enroll.

Many of the scholarships will be opening soon to apply. As soon as you complete your taxes, please take advantage of this opportunity. We have over 80% of our families who receive scholarships. I will send information as I receive it. 

I know it can be challenging to hear of positive COVID cases and contacts in our OLMC community. I appreciate the parents who reached out directly to the school with questions. We are very transparent about what is taking place and all of the health precautions we are taking. If you have further questions, I’d appreciate you emailing the school and not each other. I am always willing to answer any questions you have. 

This week the first graders will have Mass and will need to be in Mass uniform. 

We are continuing to collect food for the Catholic Schools Week St. Vincent de Paul Food Drive. Check to see what your child’s homeroom has been assigned to bring.

The fifth graders have I-Help this week. Thank you for signing up to donate food or drinks. Please remember at this time it is drop-off only. 

If you need to pick up your child early from school, please call the office so we may arrange to have your child ready to go. It is a bit tricky with the parking lot between 2:15 and 3 so it is imperative you call so we may tell you the best way to pick up your child. 

We will have a Used Uniform sale on February 12th via sign up genius. I will send the sign up next week. Please bring in your unneeded uniforms. 

Please make sure your placards are visible, especially in the 5th to 8th grade line. 

Have a good evening,
Dr. Shewbridge
