8. Family vacations during the school year are discouraged for educational reasons. Assignments can not be given in advance. The work will be made up following the same guidelines as for absences due to illness.
9. It is a law of the state of Ohio that the public school of residence's attendance office be notified of more than 10 days of absences and/or tardiness

1. Students released during the school day leave from the school office. Students are not released from the classroom or playground.
2. A note, signed by the student's parent/guardian, is required for a student to be released during the school day. The note should also indicate who would be picking up the child. In an emergency, a telephone call will be accepted.
3. The parent/guardian or the person who is picking the child up, is to sign the "Early Release Log" located in the school office when the student is released from school.

1. Parents desiring to observe classes may do so by making arrangements through the principal.

School is also closed or delayed in opening. School may also be closed or delayed if Princeton or Sycamore School Districts are closed or delayed. However, students living in the Sycamore and Princeton public school districts are to be in attendance if those districts are closed while O.L.S.H. remains open. Parents must use their best judgment regarding transportation.
2. The PTA "Hot Line" is used to provide information when school is closed for reasons other than weather, or if O.L.S.H. School is closed due to weather while the Reading Schools remain open.
3. Early dismissals due to severe weather conditions would be announced on television channels 5 and 9. Parents may come and pick up their child at the early dismissal time. There will be a staff member monitoring the "Early Dismissal Log" and parents will need to go to their child's classroom to take them home.
4. All closings or delays are the decision of the Principal.

1. The pattern for all traffic is to enter the parish grounds making a right from Siebenthaler, circling the building, and exiting using the one-way drive between the building and the Parish Center.
2. Students must be dropped off at the school entrance or along the sidewalk at the school entrance side.
3. Cars must not leave the line of traffic to pass other cars that are dropping off students.
4. Parents needing to come in the building in the morning must park near the basketball standards.

7. Bike riders must walk their bikes on and off the school grounds.

1. An emergency and medical authorization form must be completed for each student. The form is distributed before the opening of school and is to be returned to school on the opening day of the school year.
2. Parents/guardians are to keep the school informed of changes in any of the information recorded on the form. This includes changes in work numbers or emergency contact people.

1. School personnel/nurse's office volunteers will administer medication prescription medication only if both the physician's and the parent's portion of the "Request for the Administration of Medication" form are completed and signed by the physician and the parent respectively. A note from the student's parent/guardian or verbal permission from same is not sufficient for school personnel/nurse's office volunteers to administer prescription medication.
2. Non-prescription (over-the-counter) medication will be administered by school personnel/nurse's office volunteers only if the (form )is filled out and signed by the parent/guardian. It is not required by law that a doctor sign this form in order to have school personnel/nurse's office volunteers administer over-the-counter medication.
3. All medication (both prescription and over-the-counter) must be brought to the school office by the parent or guardian. Do not send medication to school with your child.
4. At the end of the prescribed treatment time or at the end of the school year, all medications must be picked up from the school office by the parent or guardian. No medication will be sent home with your child. All medication left at school at the end of the school year will be disposed of properly. Students found with any type of prescription or over-the-counter medicine will be subject to disciplinary action.
5. All medication (both prescription and over-the-counter) must be in its original container.

In the case of prescription medication, the label on the bottle must be current. The medicine sent to school must match exactly the prescription/over-the-counter medicine noted on the "Request for the Administration of Medication" or "Request for the Administration of Non-Prescription Medication" form.

1. It is the policy of the school that all in-class and homework missed due to absence because of illness, medical treatment, or for family emergencies must be completed within a reasonable length of time. The amount of time to complete these assignments is determined by the teacher, taking into account the length of the student's absence and the amount of work to be completed. Failure to complete work missed due to absence will necessarily be reflected in the student's grades at the end of the quarter.
2. No assignments will be given in advance for students being taken out of school for family vacations. We have found in the past that this places an unnecessary burden on the teacher. The work turned in is not always done correctly since the student has missed the class when the work was explained. Work will now be made up following the same guidelines for absence or illness. Again, the responsibility lies with the student to get missed assignments, turn them in on time, and arrange to make up tests.

1. Report Cards are issued four times during the year.
2. Report Cards are distributed to the students during the week following the close of the grading period, usually on the Friday of that week.
