REMINDERS

MCCARTHY (FORMERLY NEAT) UNIFORMS
McCarthy Uniforms will be hosting a VIP event for all OLS families on Thursday, June 22nd from 10:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Please see the attached flyer for further details. Uniforms should be examined and replaced as needed due to children outgrowing them or wear and tear.

AFTERSCHOOL PICK-UP

Due to the warmer weather, the children will now be spending more time outside. Therefore, the gate to the school parking lot will not be opened until 2:30 p.m. Please do not arrive earlier than 2:30 p.m. to pick-up your child(ren) and wait at the gate as this creates a backlog of traffic and a nuisance for the neighbourhood.

PARENT PARTICIPATION NEWS

If you have not been contacted by the PEC, your volunteer position will stay the same for the upcoming school year. Thank you for your continued support.
