OLLV Catholic School

Be it known to all who enter here, that Christ is the reason for this school. He is the unseen, but ever present teacher in the classrooms, the model of its faculty, and the inspiration of its students.

This week we will be focusing on Grace: God wants us to grow strong in giving grace to others. Giving grace to another person is simply to forgive them, unconditionally, just as God forgave us through Christ.

Thank you parents for expressing your concerns and sharing your ideas on ways to make the parking lot run more smoothly. We listened to your concerns and had in the City of Las Vegas observe our morning drop-off procedures to get their feedback on how to make it better. After watching from 7:15-7:45 on Thursday morning they concluded that our procedures are efficient and thought they ran extremely smooth, especially compared to numerous school around the valley. Thank you to all of those parents who have waited patiently, kept calm and kind and followed our procedures. We appreciate your support!

A few reminders for next week.....

1. Use the car line. NO PARKING unless you are in grades PK-K.

2. Pull all the way up in line.

3. Make sure your goodbyes are quick and students are ready to exit the car as soon as you are pulled up. Unload students at 7:25 and gates will open at 7:27.

4. Stay in the car. Students should be exiting the car by themselves. If you have a PK/K student who needs help, park in the designated lot and walk them to the gate.

5. Lastly, remember... We appreciate your kindness.

From the Handbook:

Tardiness

Please be sure that your child is in the classroom by the start of the school day so that daily directions and announcements will not be missed. Students arriving after 7:45 AM will be marked tardy. Arriving late can be disruptive for the entire class. Consistent tardiness teaches children that being on time is not very important. Please teach your child good habits by arriving at school on time. Additionally, in grades 4th and above, students will receive a detention each time five tardies are accumulated within a trimester.

Starting Monday we will be eating lunch INSIDE the McFarland Room! We went through a dry run last week and we are confident that the students will adjust to the change quickly.

Reminder....

If you are interested in becoming an Altar Server please come to the New Altar Server training Monday, August 28th, after school at 3:00pm. Students must be accompanied by an adult.

Meet in the Welcome Room of the Church

*You must have already received First Communion.

Quite simply, water is necessary for our bodies to function as it should. While the most obvious symptom of dehydration may be thirst, you may also notice a decrease in cognitive function (THINKING) from attention and memory to critical thinking skills.

Staying hydrated is important for other systems in our bodies as well. Water helps with digestion, prevents constipation, and flushes bacteria out of the body. It's necessary for body temperature regulation and the normalization of blood pressure.Additionally, water is crucial for transporting oxygen and nutrients to cells and protecting organs.

PLEASE STAY HYDRATED...IT IS STILL HOT AND WE WANT TO STAY HEALTHY AND WELL
