Carpool Safety

The office has been contacted by neighbors living on Bennett Rd, the road that borders the back of the school property. Parents should not be dropping children off during morning carpool in a location other than the designated areas in the school parking lot.  The same is true for afternoon pickup.

Walkers and bikers should enter campus from the playground and wait for the crossing guard to signal that cars are stopped and that they may safely cross. 

Walkers should not be using the path and crosswalk located near the back of the gym/late gate. We do not have staff to provide a crossing guard at this location in the mornings.

Thank you for your cooperation in helping to keep all of our children safe.

New Calendar Items:

2-Hour Late Started Added

September 30 (Friday) will be a 2-hour late start. 

Our Book Fair Night/Parent open house for current families and the Parish Food Truck Festival will both be the night before. Please make sure to add this to your family’s calendar!

New Event:

September 14 E-Learning Day has been on the calendar but will now be for Parent-Teacher Conferences. This is still an E-Learning day for students. Please watch for more information from your child’s teacher(s) about when & how to schedule an appointment.

Out of Uniform-Spirit Day

This Friday -September 2!

Happy Birthday OLMC School! Friday, Sep 2 is the day we celebrate the school’s birthday (September 4, 1956). To celebrate, we will have an Out of Uniform Spirit Day. On Spirit Days students are encouraged to show their school pride. Students may wear jeans, khakis, loosely fitting athletic pants (no leggings/jeggings) or other clean, casual type slacks. No shorts please.  On Spirit Days, they must wear an OLMC/Raider shirt or any other shirt of school colors. 

Let’s show are Raider Pride and fill the school with Navy & Gold!

Please no nail polish, facepaint/tattoos, hair color, etc.

Go Raiders!

Are you interested in earning a little extra spending money? We are looking for Playground Monitors to supervise the students during their recess time. The hours are from 10:45am to 12:20pm each day paid at $15.00 per day. Two Monitors are required each day (in addition to the classroom teachers that are assigned recess duty). We are still in need of 1 person on Fridays.

Robotics for Raiders:

Interested in a sport where your kid can go pro?  

Alumni from the OLMC Robotics teams are currently using problem solving, teamwork, and coding skills that they learned from competing on a Robotics team to serve their community.  Service performed by our team members includes projects for their schools and service to the wider community with outreach programs that give disadvantaged kids an opportunity to learn about coding and robots.  Participation in the OLMC Robotics program prepares students for high school level competition and beyond.  FIRST (The international robotics league we work with) lists over 164 scholarships on their website.  Some former team members have even able to apply their skills in robotics projects to earn money. 

It’s time to start our season and we want to hear from you today!

OLMC currently provides several different Robotics programs that meet after school, evenings and weekends.

These programs create opportunities for students to develop problem-solving, leadership and teamwork skills while engaging with technology (sensors, motors, gears, programming...)

Even babes-in-arms are welcome! 

This group will sing at the 12:30 Sunday Mass, with rehearsal at 11 AM, starting September 18. What a Sunday – a late breakfast and singing for the Lord!
