OLP WEEKLY NEWSLETTER 

Dress Down Day tomorrow only for students who purchased a golf ball for the Helicopter Golf Ball Drop.

Please adhere to Dress Down Guidelines.

Golf Ball Drop Planned Procedures:

If you need to pick up your student early on Friday, Sept. 9 please plan to do so by 2:15 p.m. Students will begin dismissing to the field at 2:35 p.m.

Grades K-5 will watch behind the barricades by the school side on the hill next to the auditorium.

Grades 6-8 will watch from behind the barricades by the Presbyterian Church. (The students who are not usually picked up there will be walked back to the school side following the drop).

The school parking lot will be roped off and we ask parents to please stay behind these barricades and watch from the parking lot.

After the landing, we will remove the barricades and students will remain with their teachers to be picked up from their grade level spots outside.

Please be patient with us! This is a fun event and students look forward to it each year.

All volunteers are required you complete Virtus Training VIRTUS® Online (virtusonline.org and the *NEW* https://protectmokids.com/. Both are available online and when completed certificates need to be emailed to or dropped off at the school office.
