Weekly Update
Week of May 17th - Distance Learning
Principal's Corner
Dear OLPH Families,
HAPPY SUNDAY! It is hard to believe we are wrapping up our 2019-2020 school year. This year has proven to end in a way that nobody will ever forget. As we enter into the last week of instruction I commend you, our parents. You have been faced with the challenge of not only parenting during this stressful time, but becoming an educator as well. No easy task, but you made it. I am so proud of the adjustment our students made and although there are still challenges ahead, they stayed positive and pushed through. Our teachers should be commended as well. They faced the challenge of teaching from home, some with children of their own, YIKES! But they rose to the occasion giving it their all. Thank you parents, students, staff and teachers of OLPH. I'm so proud to be apart of this school community.
Although our school year officially ends on the 26th, I will still be in communication with all of you. We still intend to have a pick up date of personal items that may have been left in the school. We will also be distributing track jerseys, registration packets and earthquake backpacks during this week and next. If your students played basketball, uniforms need to be returned.
Las Vegas and Disneyland raffle tickets are due on 5/18/20. If you need an extension to sell please let us know. The raffle will be held on Friday June 19th.
Although we plan on honoring our 8th grade graduates, I want to take this time to congratulate them. Congratulations OLPH class of 2020, you worked hard and although your year didn't end the way we assumed it would, hold your head high, smile and know you are leaving OLPH with an amazing education and Christ's love.

First Communion on Hold
I know that this year was special for our families as our 3rd grade students were scheduled to make their First Communion. However First Communions have been placed on hold. We may push this sacrament into the summer. We will keep you posted as guidelines change.
Required Parent Hours and Maintenance Day
20 Hours Required- NOW only 10 Hours Required
1 Maintenance Day- If you were unable to fulfill this requirement, please contact the school to see how you can still complete.
3 Mandatory Parent Meetings- ONLY 2 parent meetings required (these are the 2 meetings that already took place before the school closure)
- As always any donations to the classroom, teachers, and overall school can be made to offset any required hours or meetings not fulfilled.
