SCHOOL PROGRAMS

PRE-SCHOOL PROGRAM

    The OLG Preschool program is designed to help your child grow socially, emotionally, physically and cognitively like many other programs. What sets OLG apart from the other programs is the importance we see in spiritual and moral development. Our goal is to provide the pre-kindergarten skills which each child needs as well as instill in them a love for God and others.

    Our program, designed for 3 to 5 year olds, gives each child the opportunity to learn through hands on experience in a variety of ways.

For more information on registration please call the Our Lady of Grace School Office.

HOME AND SCHOOL ASSOCIATION

    The Our Lady of Grace Home and School Association works to bring into closer relations the home and the school so that parents and teachers may cooperate in promoting the welfare of the children in the home, school, church, and community. The Home and School sponsors community-building activities and assists in fund raising projects and volunteer efforts. Meetings are four times during the school year.

LUNCH PROGRAM

    A hot lunch program through Food Service Professionals is available and provided daily to the Our Lady of Grace students at a very nominal price.  Parents can take comfort knowing their children's lunch needs are being met.

SCHOOL BOARD

    The Our Lady of Grace School Board exists to provide parents a voice in the children's education as well as to encourage strategic, long-range planning. The Board is a consultative body which offers advice in the areas of planning, policy, development, finance and budgeting, recruitment and public relations. The Board assists the school by establishing long term goals and evaluating the school's religious and academic programs.

ATHLETIC PROGRAMS AND ATHLETIC COMMITTEE

    The Athletic Program at Our Lady of Grace School seeks to provide a safe, enjoyable sports environment that enhances the emotional, physical, social and educational well-being of its students.

    The athletic program is administered by the Athletic Committee which consists of parent volunteers headed by an Athletic Director who oversees the school's participation in the C.Y.O. Athletic Program. Volunteer coaches work with students in grades 5-8.

    The Booster Club is an organization under the direction of the Athletic Committee whose purpose is to encourage, support and raise funds for the Our Lady of Grace Athletic teams.

VOLUNTEERS

    Last year 75%-78% of our school families volunteered in some way. Volunteers are an important part of our school family and contribute greatly to the success of our students and our school. Our Home and School officers and members, who assist with fund raisers, special school activities and events, make valuable contributions to our school needs. In addition, library volunteers (both parents and parishioners), coaches and athletic committee members, room parents, Market Day, T.R.I.P., Junior Achievement volunteers, School Advisory members, and playground supervisors are an important and necessary part of our school.
