OLVCS Updates
January 4, 2024
Dear OLVCS Parents and Friends,
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and restful break. We traveled quite a bit, and while moments with our family were priceless, the constant ‘on the go’ feeling became tiresome. The drive from South Carolina on Monday left me ready to return Tuesday and get back to a routine. It seemed to be the same for the students. They had a great week, jumped back into their academics and ready to learn.
There is a buzz about the first storm with potential accumulating snow. It looks like the snow will arrive Saturday, and not impact school on Monday. However, please refer to the December 7th Update, on our website, for general information about Flexible Instruction Days (FIDs) https://www.olvcatholicschool.org/Domain/396
As a reminder we are going to conduct one more test of our school wide emergency alert system, "School Messenger".
The test will take place tomorrow, 5 January at 3:00 pm.
You should receive a test message via a phone call, text or email.
Once the test is complete, Mr. Stec will send an e-announcement verifying that it was completed.
Please only respond to that e-announcement if you DID NOT RECEIVE THE TEST OR IF YOU NEED CHANGES MADE TO YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION.
Make it a Great Day!
Samantha
