Clipper Coffee
Occasionally, the PTA coordinates a coffee gathering for new and veteran parents to meet up and get to know each other. This is a great place for newbies to get any questions answered about OCE, the PTA, or the area in general if you've recently relocated.
Our next coffee is coming up this Thursday, August 15 at 9:15 a.m. at the Panera in Beaver Creek. All are welcome and we look forward to seeing you then!
Sign up here to join us!
Fill 'Er Up!
After some research and coordination, two stations have already been installed and are up and running. We are working on getting seven additional installed at each of the school's existing water fountains. Each station provides cold, filtered water for bottle refilling.
The stations were purchased with your PTA contributions! Thank you for continuing to support the PTA. Small changes like these enhance our students' and staff's experience throughout the day.
Feel free to check them out and refill your own bottle the next time you're on campus!
No Fuss Fundraiser - Company Match
Thank you to all who have already donated to the No-Fuss Fundraiser! We so appreciate your support of our school.
Does your employer match charitable contributions? Consider having them match your No Fuss Fundraiser donation!
As a reminder, the No Fuss Fundraiser is an easy way to help our school this year without having to man a carnival game, harass your family members for sponsorships or sell coupon books! Simply send in a tax-deductible donation and know that 100% of your donation is going straight to the school to support important classroom and educational initiatives.
PLEASE NOTE, you will still be contacted about our other fundraisers, it will be your choice to participate.
Ready to donate? Complete the form attached below and send a check made out to OCE PTA with "No Fuss" in the subject line back to your child's teacher. If your company provides matches, invite them to participate and have them send their check to the school.
You can also click here and donate with a credit card. Don't forget your child's name and grade in the appropriate fields.
Track 4 Open House
Track 4 Parents: Come and meet your child's teacher, see their classroom, and get a sneak peek at all your student's will be learning this year at the OCE Open House.
Track 4 - Tuesday, August 13th from 6:00-7:30pm
This is an event for parents, so we do ask that you work to find childcare. If you are not able to, we will have the YMCA present to provide care for those unable to secure it on their own. There will be two rotations for class visits for parents with more than one child here at Olive Chapel. The schedule is as follows:
6:00 - 6:30 p.m. First Classroom Visit
6:35 - 7:00 p.m. PTA meeting in the Gym (no classroom visits at this time)
7:05 - 7:30 p.m. Second Classroom Visit
BYOD - Bring Your Own Device
To learn more about the initiative and how it works practically, there will be a meeting for fourth and fifth grade parents at the times noted below.
- Track 3 will be held on August 21st, 2019 from 5:00-5:30pm in the media center.
More information can be found on the OCE BYOD webpage.
