OLVCS Updates
Summer Edition #2............................August 6, 2019
We are now into August, and in full swing in the office..... well, we are in full swing in the Activities Center, but you get the point.
The construction is coming along. Yes, it does seem as though everything will be completed for the first day of school, and possibly for the Family Picnic! I have attached a few photos below.
Tomorrow is the Used Uniform Sale, from 4:30 - 6:30 in the School Library. Please note that the gym is off limits, lots of stuff still in there. You can park in the back lot and enter through the Library door.
The Back to School Letter will be mailed next week. Within the letter will be your child's homeroom assignment.
This year we will enter transportation information in the SchoolAdmin accounts. I will alert you as to when the information is ready. However, we are still waiting to hear from the local districts for the final transportation lists.
Make it a Great August!

Now Is A Great Time for Your Middle Schooler to Begin Working on the Summer Assignments
All students entering 6th, 7th, and 8th grade have been assigned a book to read over the summer. Students should also be keeping a log of books that they are reading over the summer. Other writing requirements have also been assigned. A link to these assignments can be found at www.olvcatholicschool.org.
Still Room for a Few New Students.
Space is available at all grade levels for new students. Admission information can be found at www.olvcatholicschool.org/admissions or by calling the school office.
Don’t Forget to Get Those Sports Physicals Done.
If your middle school student is planning to play soccer, basketball, or run track and field for OLVCS, he/she must have a sports physical completed no earlier than June 1, 2019. This requirement is all 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students who will be playing on our PIAA sports teams. For more information and required forms, go to the OLVCS PIAA team registration page. If you have any questions, contact Ruthie Straub, OLVCS Athletic Director, at athleticdirector@olvcs.org or the school office.
