Letter from Principal Young | | |
 | |
Dear OLOL Families,
We hope your children enjoyed all of the Catholic School Week activities. It was a great week for students and staff alike. The highlight for me was hearing from some of the people that your children interacted with last week. Fr. Jim’s Norbertine Brothers all commented to me what a great group of students we had. Not only were they polite and attentive but they were also very knowledgeable in the topics covered. That being music with Frater Bernard, math with Fr. Seamus, St Norbert with Frater Gregory, and scripture with Fr. Michael.
The staff at Urban Air commented what a wonderful bunch of students - they were the most respectful group that have had there. Some of you were wondering if the free tickets to come back were just for promotion. Some of our teachers have taken other groups there and they have never received free tickets so I don’t think it was. I received an email from them the next day stating what an easy group they were to work with.
I write a lot about the high academic standards that we have here at OLOL. That is only one part of what I think our mission here is. Helping form our students into respectful, empathetic individuals is also extremely important and something we do very well. It is also something that isn’t taught at other schools. The skills are extremely important to have in adult life and make life a whole lot easier.
Thank you to Mrs. Liz Gale for chairing the Family Dance. She did a wonderful job and we had a great turnout. Thank you to all that attended. It was a great way to wrap up an amazing week.
Thanks again for your support of our school and all of the assistance you provide in educating children.
“When you do something with a lot of honesty, appetite, and commitment, the input reflects the output” - A.R. Rahman
The Lourdes Way,
Jeffrey Young

Wisconsin Tax Deduction for Tuition Expense
Tax legislation signed into law gives Wisconsin taxpayers the opportunity to deduct private school tuition expenses from their taxable income. A subtraction from income is allowed for tuition expenses that are paid for any of the GRACE schools. Parents/guardians are eligible for a maximum deduction of $4,000 per child in grades K-8 and $10,000 per child in grades 9-12. Students transitioning from eighth to ninth grade are eligible for both deductions. Per state guidance, any amount spent on tuition and book fees are eligible for the deduction. Book fees include digital books, such as laptops or tablet fees issued by the school.
Tuition tax credit information is available to GRACE families online via GRACE’s enrollment management system, TADS. The TADS Household Paid Tuition Tax Report will provide a breakdown of payments made for the specified household’s tuition account during the tax year.
When gathering information for tax preparation, GRACE families are to access their TADS account | select Billing | Billing Account Number | Reports | Household Paid Tuition Tax Report | enter the tax year (i.e. 2021) and submit. If you have questions or require assistance, please call TADS Family Support at (800) 477-8237.
Additional information regarding Tax Deduction is available https://gracesystem.org/admissions/tuition-assistance/

Enrollment: Parish Verification Form
Enrollment for 2022-23 is off to a very brisk pace, and we are pleased many of you have re-enrolled. We have already created waitlists for a few grades at some of our schools.
As reviewed in my January letter to you, new to the enrollment process for students in grades K through 10 this year is the Parish Verification Form.
This new process supports the meaningful relationship between our families and our GRACE parishes in harmony with our mission of growing in our Catholic faith. This process also recognizes our GRACE parishes who significantly support our schools through their financial investments.
- Families enroll K-10 students with the Standard Rate of tuition in our TADS.com enrollment management system.
- After enrollment, families are to complete - with their GRACE parish - the Parish Verification Form. Upon receipt of verification, the family’s TADS Billing Account will be adjusted to the Active Parishioner Rate (lower rate).
- Your parish office will help guide you through the process of obtaining their verification. Our parishes define what ‘active parishioner’ means in each parish.
-
The Parish Verification Form and instructions are provided during the online enrollment process in TADS. Information is also available at gracesystem.org | Admissions | Parish Verification Form.
-
Please submit your completed Form which includes verification by your parish representative to GRACE Riverside Office by June 1, 2022. Tuition payments for 2022-23 begin in July annually. Submission instructions are on the Form.
- Completed verification forms will be processed in batches at regular intervals. Each family will receive an email when their Form is processed and their TADS Billing Account is adjusted.
Please be sure you enroll your K-10 students fully and then complete the Parish Verification Form with your parish.
If you have not already re-enrolled, we encourage you to do so to ensure your child’s seat for fall 2022 and to take advantage of the lower enrollment fee (now $100 until March 1st). Early re-enrollment also allows us to plan resources including staffing for next school year; preparations are already underway!
God bless!

Fang Reading Club -- Reading to Second Base | | |
|
Although it does not feel, (or look like), baseball season yet, the Fang Reading Club started on Monday, January 17, 2022.
Students in Kindergarten through fifth grade can once again have fun playing “baseball” by reading through the bases. After they read 200 minutes at home, within a two week period, they will slide onto a “base.” That’s only 20 minutes a day! Every two weeks they can read their way onto the next base by reading 200 more minutes. Then, hopefully they will make a “homerun” on March 11th.
Students who make it to home plate are rewarded with a free hot dog and drink, and a ticket to the OLOL Family Night game with the Timber Rattlers on Friday, May 6, 2022.
We hope all students in grades K-5 will “step up to the plate” and join in the fun! Look for more information on Fang Reading Club sheets below. If you have any questions, please contact your teacher or Ms. J. Johnson.
“Swing batter, batter, swing” … into reading with Fang and the Timber Rattlers!

What is STEM?
Science - Technology - Engineering - Math
Ms. Traeger's first grade students had their first STEM challenge where they were given materials to see if they could build an object that floats and holds weight.
They tested the rafts and discussed what went well with some and had to troubleshoot others.

Google Earth
Google Maps
In the Classroom
Our second graders practiced their cardinal directions (N, S, E, W) by finding continents, oceans, and states using Google Earth!
For the older students, we were reviewing Latitude, Longitude and GPS (Global Positioning System).
When you are reading a book or discussing a place, bring it to life with the use of these tools. A great opportunity to reinforce / review the topics.
