Please do not send your child to school if they are ill. Children must be fever free without the use of medication before he or she returns to school.
Please do not medicate your child for a fever and then send them to school. When the medication wears off, your child will not be feeling well.

If your child is ill, please call the office and let us know. We do ask the reason for the absence. Please send in an absent note when he or she returns.

Please remember OLH is a nut safe school. Please do not send in any snacks or desserts containing any type of nut or seed. Please be mindful of this if you are sending in classroom treats. This includes granola bars.
Peanut butter and jelly is allowed for lunch.


If your child has any type of food allergy or food concern, please let the home room teacher and I know. You may send in special snacks for your child for classroom celebrations.


If your student is injured and not allowed to participate in PE, a doctor's note is required. They will also be restricted from physical activities after school. A note from the doctor is also required to return to activities.

No child is excused from PE without a medical reason and written doctor's note.

All medications require a doctor's prescription and written parental approval.

Vision and hearing screening is required in grades K, 1, 3, 5, and 7. I will notify you if your child has any difficulty.

I appreciate your cooperation.
