Please remember all 6 and 7 graders have required immunizations. These were to be handed in by the first day of school. We still have several students requiring this. The grace period will soon end. Notices for this went home. If your doctor can not see your child immediately, a note from the doctor stating the appointment is required. These shots are due now even if your child is not due for a physical.

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.
You must also submit a health history and an emergency sheet. These forms are available on the website.

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.
Please contact your child's teacher if you are sending in any snacks for the class.

If your child has a food allergy, please let us know. You may send in special snacks that we will keep at school for celebrations.

Anyone wishing to volunteer at OLH in any capacity must be Virtus trained.  You must preregister online at www.virtus.org before the class.  You can go to any training in the Diocese. Please send in your certificate.

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 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.

I appreciate your cooperation.
 


 

As of June 17, 2019, new legislation took effect in New York State that no longer allows religious exemptions for immunizations.  Please refer to the attached information below for more details.
