Safety First!
Please, please, please.....
-slow down in our parking lots
-watch for students that may be walking in the parking lots
-follow the instructions of our staff directing traffic
-be courteous and safe when driving and parking
-keep the flow of traffic moving during drop off and pick up
-remember that the parking lot exits are RIGHT turn ONLY during drop off and pick up hours.
There are 300+ cars that need to move through, twice a day, every day, and the process goes much smoother when
everyone
plays by the same rules and is extra cautious. Thank you for your increased attention, caution & cooperation!
Security upgrades & updates
Work is underway for two of our security upgrade projects!
1. Thank you to Builder's Electric for their hard work in completing the prep work on our front doors for the biometric entry install. You'll notice the new entry camera and buzzer outside the front doors of the school as you walk in. The next phase is setting up the software which will begin this week.
2. The install date is set for this week for the additional security cameras. We will be adding cameras to the cafeteria and courtyard, as well as installing additional playground and hallway cameras.

Title 1 Survey
Last week we sent home the Title I survey. If you have not turned in your survey yet, please fill it out and turn it into the front office by Monday, February 29. (It will take you less than 5 minutes to fill it out.)
For many years, O'Hara Catholic School has been fortunate to receive federal funds for our Title I program. With these funds, we provide individualized student instruction and purchase learning materials. The level of funding we receive is dependent upon the income profile of our families, so we need 100% participation.
If you have lost your Title I survey, please stop by and see Barb in the front office and she will issue you a new survey to fill out.
Thank you.
Spring sports deadlines are approaching
Brain Bowl
Thank you to O'Hara parent Gordon Griffin for coaching Brain Bowl this year! If your Middle School student would like to sign up for Brain Bowl, please download the application and return it to Mr. Milliron by 3pm on Monday, Feb 29 (

).
Ping Pong Tables Needed!
Mrs. Meyer would like to borrow 6 portable Ping Pong tables for a unit on the Summer Olympics this May. If you have one to lend, please email
Mrs. Meyer.
(the school has enough ping pong paddles and ping pong balls, so only tables are needed.)
Middle School Track Coach Needed
If you are interested in learning more about this opportunity, please contact
Chris Milliron.
Eugene Seminary Benefit Dinner - March 6, 2016
Please join Mount Angel seminarians for the 7th annual Eugene Seminary Benefit Dinner, on Sunday, March 6, at 4:30 p.m. at the Valley River Inn in Eugene. The reception begins at 4:30 p.m., followed by dinner and the program. Guests will break bread with seminarians at their tables, getting acquainted with the men who will offer the light of Christ to the world. Many of you have watched your seminarians grow into their vocations, through pastoral formation assignments as deacons and, finally,
as ordained priests. These are men our world needs.
