Office Notes
STUDENT PICTURES:
If you missed the pre-pay period before your picture date, you will receive a proof picture folder from the school that will contain a new online ordering code.
Click on the box that says "What are you looking for?"

Enter your access code as it appears on the back of the proof/px booklet sent home
TECHNOLOGY REMINDERS:
Please remind your students to charge their devices every night. Running their batteries down to less than 10% routinely will result in their laptop requiring a minimum of 60 minutes to charge to reach above a 60% charge.
9th grade parents:
--If students have lost their 1:1 device charger, they may purchase one from the school for $45.
-- Updates are pushed out to 9th grade student's 1:1 device laptops every Tuesday, and unless their devices are plugged in and turned on, the updates will not run. Please help remind your students to set their devices up to run updates before they go to bed on Tuesdays.
ATTENDANCE:
If your student will be absent from school for all or part of a school day, please communicate this information with the front desk. Also, if your student needs to leave for an appointment during the school day you may call or send an email. You can reach the front desk by phone at 402-734-2000 or you can send an email to attendance@gcgmail.org
WIFI NETWORK CHANGE:
There will be a change in the availability of WiFi networks after Aug 31st. The gc-Guest network will only be available between Monday-Friday from 4 pm-12 pm and on weekends. This is to help protect our network resources, improve connectivity, and reduce security and privacy risks for our students and staff.

ADVANCEMENT NOTES:
The Fall 2023 digital edition of Dux Esto Magazine has been sent via email. Moving forward, we will share this communication more frequently with digital episodes in September, February, and July. We will continue with a print edition in the Winter.
Our memorial and honor listings will be published in the print edition. We will also print a program with our memorial and honor listings for the OLPH Mass in the spring and will make that available digitally as well for our friends and family out of town who aren't able to join us in celebrating the Mass.
