OLG is a NO IDLING ZONE: When dropping off or picking up your children, please turn off your vehicles whenever possible. No-idling is a simple and cost-effective way to reduce emissions and protect health. Unnecessary idling wastes fuel and pollutes. Running an engine at a low speed also causes more wear and tear on the vehicle.
For ELC (PreSchool & Pre-K): Please contact your child's teacher via BrightWheel. The door will remain locked for safety, so you may need to coordinate with teacher to find your class if they have transitioned to another location.
For grades Kindergarten through 8th: Once the Tardy Bell rings at 8:30am and the school doors' close, students will need to come in through the main entrance, register their arrival time at school reception and obtain a “late slip”in order to be able to be admitted in their classroom.
Please refer to the OLG Family Handbook for important details about our attendance policies. Frequent tardiness is disruptive to the teacher and students in the class and can adversely affect education due to tardiness.
