FIRST DAY: Our first day went very smoothly. We thank the students for their cooperation
and the parents who got them to school on time and prepared to start the school
year.
HELLO! We welcome two new staff members for the
2005-06 school year.

Thursdays. Ms. Amy Muche is our new
Speech Language Pathologist, replacing Mrs. Mary Ennis. She will be here on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and
Fridays. Welcome!
TRAFFIC
PATTERN: Please do not pass up cars that are lined up
along the sidewalk in the morning to drop off children. Students are exiting from both sides of
vehicles in some cases, and we want morning drop-off to be as safe as
possible. Thank you.
ABSENCE LINE: Please remember to call in your child's
absence/tardy by
VOLUNTEERS: Thank you, parents, for the generous response
to volunteer at OLSH! Please come to the
school office and sign in before going to help in the classroom, cafeteria,
etc. If your child becomes ill or is
injured, we need to know where to reach you.
We also need to know the number of people in the building for safety
reason (i.e., fire drills, etc.). Return
to the office and sign out when you are finished. A reminder:
the Archdiocese requires that all volunteers in a parochial school be
fingerprinted. If you have not been
fingerprinted, please contact the Archdiocese at 421-3131 or

this newsletter, please bring or send it to the office with your child no later

MEET THE
TEACHER NIGHTS: Plan to join us for Meet the Teacher Night(s). If you have a student in grades 1 through 4,
please come on Tuesday, August 30; if you have a student in grades 5 through 8,
come on Wednesday, August 31. Some of
you will have the chance to come both nights!
Both sessions will begin in the church with a prayer by Fr. Jack,
followed by introduction of the "specials" teachers. You will then go to your children's
classrooms to meet their teachers. Stop in the cafeteria sometime during the evening to sign up as a
volunteer for one (or more) of the many opportunities that our PTO has
available. You can also pick up
an order form for Spiritwear, which will be on display. In addition, check out the school apparel
items available through our uniform exchange.
We hope to see all our parents there!

AFTER-SCHOOL
CARE: As you know, we no longer have the services
of the Powel Crosley YMCA at OLSH for after-school care. The Blue Ash YMCA does offer an after-school
program. They are waiving their
registration fee, and they will pick children up from OLSH and transport them
to their facility in Blue Ash. Please
contact Mr. Dave Hennessey, School-Age Child Care Site Administrator, at the
Blue Ash Branch YMCA (791-5000, ext. 2621) for further information. We also have brochures available in the
school office. Parents--if you decide to
take advantage of this service, please contact us in the school office

to the Y.
