OLP ECC Weekly Update 09/23/2016

ECC Families,

Good afternoon.  We are looking at some gorgeous weather today! Maybe the rain will hold out.  We made it through picture week or I guess I should say our photographer, Sandy Braun, made it through!  If your child missed their picture day you may contact Sandy directly to see about having your child's picture taken.  This Thursday, September 29 is the second opportunity to attend a Protecting God's Children class at OLP.  Information about registering may be found below.  We still have many classrooms without room parents.  If you signed up to be an assistant room parent maybe consider contacting another parent and being co-room parents.  If you have questions please contact your child's teacher each teacher has a list of who has volunteered in their classroom.  Make sure to get your field trip permission slips in this week.  Enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Many Blessings, 

Catherine M. Koob
Director 
Protecting God's Children Class
* Thursday is the second opportunity* We encourage all of our parents who would like to be regular volunteers at OLP ECC or OLP school to make sure and attend the upcoming Protecting God's Children class.  There are two different times the class is being offered here at OLP.  If you plan on being a head room parent you will need to attend one of these classes or at another location in the Diocese.  Below you will find information on how to register for the class and the dates it is being offered at OLP

OLP School Trunk or Treat Shirts
It's almost time for OLP School's annual Trunk or Treat event.  This is a great family friendly event and a chance to get to see lots of OLP families.  In the links below you will find a What is Trunk or Treat information flyer and an order form for a Trunk or Treat t-shirt.  T-shirt order forms may be turned in at OLP ECC front desk.  All funds go to support the 8th grade class activities throughout the year.



Fall Pictures with Sandy Braun
Picture days are over.  If you missed having your child's picture taken please contact Sandy directly.  Pictures will probably be available for viewing some time next week.  More information about this will go out in the next weekly update.

Fall Field Trip to Faulkner's Ranch
Every year we enjoy our annual field trip to Faulkner's pumpkin patch.  This year our dates are Wednesday, 10/5 and Thursday, 10/6.  Field trip permission slips will be coming home this week.  Below you will find information about when your child's class will be attending.  



Faulkner's Scarecrow Visits OLPECC
We take a field trip each year to Faulkner's Ranch but our little ones don't get to go.  So instead of them missing out we like to bring the pumpkin patch to them.  Faulkner's Scarecrow will come to OLP ECC on Monday, 10/3.  She will read a story to each group and then they will get to go outside to the OLP pumpkin patch to pick their own pumpkin to take home.  Feel free to join us for this fun event.  Information regarding groups and times is located below.

Teaching Strategies Gold
Below you will find the a family guide for Teaching Strategies Gold our assessment system.  This is what our teachers at OLP ECC use to track your child's development based on 38 objectives for development and learning.  There are many features to this system and our teachers may not use all of them.  If you have questions about which features your child's teacher is using please contact them directly.  All families should receive an invite from teaching strategies asking them to register for parent central.  If you do not receive an e-mail check your spam and then follow up with your child's teacher and she can resend your invite.  We hope you will find this information valuable as another tool for us to work together to support your child.


Upcoming School Events
It's time for OLP School's annual Trunk or Treat event to support the 8th grade class.  If  you enjoy spending time with other OLP families then you need to schedule time to attend this OLP family event!  Trunk or Treat will take place on Friday, October 21 from 5:00pm-8:30pm.
