Good Afternoon, Eagle Nation-
Welcome to the first edition of the “Biweekly Brief,” a special (less frequent) summer edition of the Weekly 3. While I hope you are enjoying your summer vacation, I also feel that it is important to stay connected over these next few months, as exciting things continue to happen on campus. We will also use this check-in to make sure you are kept aware of any upcoming events or deadlines as we count down the 75 days until the first day of school on Monday, August 30th.
Fly High,
Paul Berry, Principal
1) Welcome Meg Schneeman
What's New: Last week, we officially welcomed our new Assistant Principal & Learning Specialist Meg Schneeman to campus.
Why It's Important: With many families on campus this summer for Eagle Camp, and many more returning next week for Vacation Bible Camp, there is a good chance you might cross paths with Mrs. Schneeman, and we would like all of Eagle Nation to make her feel welcome.
What's Next: If you see Mrs. Schneeman on campus, be sure to say hello, introduce yourself, and (if you’d like to earn a little extra credit) be sure to say “Go Marquette!” (her alma mater).
2) New Classroom Door Installation Nearly Complete
What's New: Installation is nearly complete of the new classroom doors that have been added to campus, as a result of our Spring Gala fund-a-need campaign.
Why It's Important: The new steel-frame doors are equipped with swing shut, classroom-lock functionality. In addition, each door has a transparent, tempered glass window, further ensuring the continued safety of all students and faculty.
What's Next: Thanks to your tremendous support of our fund-a-need effort, in coordination with the logistical planning and fulfillment of this project by our entire Facilities & Grounds team, we have been able to take this from vision to reality in record time. We cannot wait to welcome you back to campus this fall and show off our new look.
3) Book your visit to the OLP library
What's New: Mrs. Jameson is hosting summer library hours (by appointment only) every Tuesday & Thursday this summer.
Why It's Important: While it is important our students get a break this summer, it is equally important that they continue to read over the next few months to ensure they don’t lose any progress that was made last school year. In addition to inviting families to book time for in-person library visits, books can also be reserved for curbside delivery.
What's Next: Follow the links below to reserve your preferred time slot, or to check-out books online. Finally, don’t forget to continue to track your progress on your summer reading scorecards, in order to qualify for the first Summer Reading Celebration at the OLP Playground on Wednesday, July 7th @6:00pm.
What's coming up next?
In order to make sure you don’t miss any key dates, times, or announcements while you are away from campus this summer, we will keep you posted on what is coming up in the weeks ahead in this section below.
