News from the Nurse

We have seen some cases of Lice in the elementary school. If your child’s classroom has been affected, you will receive an exposure notification. To stay on top of it and help prevent the spread, please monitor for symptoms: itchy head, dandruff that is “stuck” to hair strands, irritability or difficulty sleeping. If you suspect lice, please visit Ladibugs or Minnesota Lice Lady for more information and treatment options. You may also call your child’s health care provider and/or the OLG Health Office for more information. MDH does not recommend an exclusion policy or school wide lice screenings at this time; however, we STRONGLY encourage treatment for 24 hours before returning to school to help prevent the spread of lice.

Special Guests Coming for Accreditation

Tuesday - Thursday, March 28 - 30

OLG has been an accredited school with the MN Non-Public Schools Accrediting Association (MNSAA) since 1988. Every seven years we do an intensive self-study, conduct an extensive satisfaction survey (last school year), and gather evidence in support of benchmarks that make us a quality school. We take our findings and craft a strategic plan that will guide our actions for the next 7 years. Upon the completion of this self-reflection, an accreditation team comes to visit. We will hosting onsite a team of 8 education professionals who represent MNSAA March 28-30. The team is made up of teachers and principals from various MNSAA accredited schools and they will be here to support us in the re-accreditation process. While onsite, the team will review our self-study, interview staff, and visit with students and committee members. They will review our latest school strategic plan and offer both suggestions and recommendations. The team will also seek parent feedback so you may receive a phone call or perhaps an onsite impromptu "interview" if they run into you at the school. They will likely ask what the greatest strengths and challenges are for OLG and what your overall satisfaction or experience is here. Please take the opportunity to visit with them and share your experience with the school.
