Dear OLPH Families,
Helpful Tips for Parents
Please know that reasonable efforts are made to ensure that all students are released only to appropriate people. Ensuring the safety of all children is our top priority. However, there are things that you as parents / guardians can do to help support this process:
1. Parents and/or guardians , or visitors who enter the school building should only do so through the front office and be signed in.
2. If you need to speak to a teacher, please make an appointment or send an e-mail to discuss your concerns.
3. Have regular conversations with your children about drop off and pick up expectations that you have for their safety.
- Inform them of who is picking them up.
- If students walk home, have a planned route and a check-in system.
- Use a buddy system with trusted families and friends.
4. Contact Mme Winland if someone other than your emergency contacts will be picking up your child.
It is important that the teachers and staff working with your child(ren) are aware of early departure or absences from school prior to the day.
We ask that parents either come into the school or call the school office at 780-467-5631 to sign out your child(ren) with Mrs. Winland or an office staff member.
This helps us to ensure students are picked up by someone with proper authorization. No student should be leaving school grounds to go home or appointments without their teacher, parent, and staff approval.
Thank you for helping us keep your child(ren) safe at all times.
God Bless,
M. Morin

A Reading From The Gospel for Sunday, June 4, 2023
A reading from the holy Gospel according to John 3:16-18
For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but have eternal life.
Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Those who believe in him are not condemned; but those who do not believe are condemned already, because they have not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
Amen
