Welcome to OLF

     Educating students

to become Catholic leaders

of the 21st Century! 

  

 

Dear Parents and OLF families,

 

Thank you for making every effort to attend our Parent Orientation Night, yesterday evening. Your presence indicated that your child is your top priority and that you believe an informed parent can be a better primary educator.

 

As explained, our 21st Century Learning Community focuses on our students and our decision-making process always asks "how does this benefit our children?" With Jesus as teacher, the Holy Spirit as mentor and God at the center of our live, we make every effort to provide the best Catholic education possible.

The expectations of parental collaboration, support, compliance and enrichment were just some of the key terms elaborated in the equation of success for every student. We, faculty and staff appreciate the trust you place in us every single day, and we do not take this responsibility lightly.

 

Thank you for belonging to our OLF family!

 

 

 

Blessings,

Beate Nguyen, M.A.Ed

Principal

S.O.A.R.  to begin in October
Many of you have asked about S.O.A.R., the after school support provided by Mrs. Susan Mekrut. All of us value S.O.A.R. as an essential part of our learning support provided at OLF. As in previous years, we do not anticipate S.O.A.R. to start until October 8th, which is after the students complete their ITBS testing.
Currently,  S.O.A.R. and OLF are working on meeting all new requirements in order to provide this service and comply with the Diocese.
