All new students and students in grades K, 1, 3, 5, and 7 will have vision and hearing screening at school this year. I will notify you if there are any concerns.

If your student is new to OLH, a physical exam from the doctor and immunization record must be submitted. If you have not done so, this must done right away.

Any student wishing to participate in a sport must have a current physical on file. Physicals are good for 1 year.

All paperwork was sent home for basketball. Please fill out the history and top of yellow sheet and return to me. All paperwork must be in for your child to practice or play.Please send it in ASAP. If your child needs a physical, that form went home also. 


Please remember OLH is a nut safe school. Please do not send in any snacks or desserts containing any type of nut or seed. This includes granola bars. Peanut butter and jelly is allowed.

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.

We ask that you pack a healthy lunch for your child. No candy or soda,please.


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.

The weather is getting cooler. Please make sure your child is dressed for the weather. They are outside in the morning and at recess.

I appreciate your cooperation.
