Summer Learning Resources:
Last March, the school hosted a Parent Night through Zoom and addressed many concerns that parents had related to distance learning during the pandemic. Some parents expressed their desire for summer resources to help remediate their children’s learning and prepare them for the next year. Here are some resources provided by our teachers. None of these resources are mandated for students to complete except for the summer reading assignments given to the 7th and 8th grade students.
“By the End of the Year” Teacher Standards
: This list represents OLMC teachers’ most significant standards that students should be able to accomplish in grammar, reading, and math by the end of each year. These are skills that students can practice at home with their parents over the summer.

Cleaning Supplies for Next Year:
The supply lists are posted on the school website at the link below. Supply lists were finalized in February (pre-Covid19) so teachers anticipate an increased need for Clorox wipes, hand sanitizer (at least 60% isopropyl alcohol) and paper towels.
Knowing that these items are still in short supply and only able to purchase limited quantities at a time, we are asking families to keep an eye our for these products and purchase as you can throughout the summer. We also anticipate the need for these supplies to be replenished throughout the school year.

Notes from the Nurse:
S
ummer is an excellent time to complete annual doctor visits to discuss your child's health and immunization needs.
Click the link below
to view the State of IN requirements for the 2020-2021 school year.
If your student has any of the following medical needs: Life-threatening allergies, Asthma, Diabetes, Seizure or any other special medical needs, please have your child's physician complete the appropriate action plans for the 2020-2021 school year. These can be accessed via the school website:
https://school.olmc1.org/school-health
Indiana law allows students to carry emergency medication with them at school. If your child will be carrying their emergency medication on them during the school day, please make sure the "self carry" section of the action plan is completed by the physician.

Yearbook Photos Needed:
Amy Quinn & the yearbook team will be working on this year's yearbook over the summer months (please do not expect the book to be ready until late Fall) and we are very very short on photographs this year. Our final school semester usually brings with it a ton of photos for the book, but need I say this was "kinda" disrupted this year!
So, we really need your help, as we still want to make the book super special this year for everyone. It will look a bit different, but will still show the amazing memories we had and how we all got through this difficult time.
I have included below the links to each grades "homeroom" page. This is the app/website we use to gather photos during the year. You would have all received these links at the start of the year, so most of you are familiar with this app and have already joined, but for those of you who have not this is the perfect opportunity to do so and share your photos with us!!!!
So please upload ANY photos you have not already of your kiddos prior to quarantine and now during quarantine. We are also in need of pictures from last day carpool , Jr. High Award Ceremony & 8th grade graduation.
E-learning pictures will for sure be a big part of our book this year, so please include as many as you can!
Let's make the 2019/2020 book a super special one for our kiddos!!!

To support these special events for your children we need your help! Please find attached a Google Form link below to get involved. Many events can be planned at home or simply sending in donations. it is a great way to network with other parents and make new friends! I know I have formed many special relationships with parents and staff at OLMC.

Many Hands Make Light Work - THANK YOU so much for helping our students have an amazing school year! You are greatly appreciated!
