2024-2025 Re-Enrollment - Important Reminder

OLG School uses a continuous enrollment model. This means that current K-7 students are automatically re-enrolled for the upcoming school year. Families will be charged a $150 registration fee per child on February 1st for the upcoming school year. The fee is non-refundable. If you are moving or you know that your child will not be returning to OLG in the fall, please email Amy Selby before February 1, 2024. After this date your child will be re-enrolled, you will be billed the registration fee, and your tuition agreement will be rolled over to next year.

Lunch Room Needs Volunteers

Do you want your kids to have more time to eat their hot lunch? We need your help! Please consider signing up! The lunch room sign up is open through mid-February.

Valentines Needed

Due Monday, February 5th

Are the kiddos in need of a creative outlet? Are your MS students needing service hours? Sharing & Caring Hands is collecting Valentine's to put in treat bags that go out to homeless children at Mary's Place in Minneapolis. Valentines should say "You Are Loved" or "God Loves You." They can be as simple or as elaborate as you want, click here for instructions. Last year OLG provided over 400 cards and we are hoping to be able to deliver even more this year! Drop cards off in the red boxes at receptionist desks.
