SPECIAL DAY FOR 8^th GRADE:

If you would like to be a part of the celebration, please join us in the back parking lot at 2:30PM.  

All students will be picked up in the back parking lot Thursday as all our grades will be cheering on the 8^th graders as they exit OLMC for the last time. 

YEARBOOKS:
Yearbooks are still available.  If you would like a yearbook for your child, the cost this year is $5.  Please send in the money to your child’s homeroom teacher.  Make sure your child’s name is on the envelope.  We will start handing out yearbooks on Friday.

FUNDRAISING BALANCES:
Mrs. Coburn has sent out end of the year fundraising balances to all families.  Balances were due to the Main Office on Friday, May 28^th.  If you have any questions about your balance, please call the Main Office.  Due to the pandemic, we were unable to run any of our large fundraising events, so we had to rely on our calendar raffle and all the smaller fundraisers to help us out this year.  We appreciate everyone’s efforts this year with helping us reach our fundraising goals. 

UPK PROGRAM:
We are part of the Middletown UPK Program.  Any child who is 4 by December 1^st and resides in Middletown can apply for the UPK Program.   For more information, please call the Middletown UPK Office at 845-326-1153. 

You can also find the information about the UPK Program on the home page of our website.
SCHOOL ABSENCES:
If your child is going to be absent from school due to illness or for a “non-health” reason, you MUST email or call the Main Office to let us know.  If we have not heard from you by 10:00AM, Mrs. Coburn will be calling you and emailing you. 

If your child is absent from school due to illness and/or quarantine, a medical note is required to return to school.  The note must state the date or dates the child was absent and the reason along with an alternative diagnosis if unrelated to COVID.  The Department of Health is requiring all students who do not attend school to have a note upon return.  If you are keeping your child home for a “non-health” related issue, you must send in a note stating the reason your child was home. 

*** We understand that it is allergy season and many of our students are suffering from their allergies at this time, however, if you keep your child home, you will need a doctor’s note to return to school.  ***

These policies apply to both in-person and remote learners.
