OLCHS will host their Second Semester Parent-Teacher Conferences on:

Tuesday, February 18, 2014, 5:00 to 8:30 p.m.

As articulated in the Spartan Compact, parent-teacher conferences are an extremely important part of the two-way communication between parents and teachers. Parents interested in checking on their student's progress this semester are asked to take advantage of the evening. Parents are encouraged to bring their student's grade report or a list of teacher they wish to visit.

Conferences are also a place for parents to tell teachers things about their child: How he likes to learn. What she says about the class at home. How he enjoys spending free time. What she says about other students in class.

Teachers will be alphabetically located in the Spartan and Auditorium Gyms. No appointment is necessary. Please take the opportunity to meet your son or daughter's teachers, guidance counselor, dean, activity sponsor, or coach. The school will have Arabic, Polish, and Spanish interpreters available to assist parents during both evenings.

Again this year, staff will be on-hand to assist parents in updating their SchoolMessenger account, enrolling to receive the weekly electronic Oak Leaflet Newsletter, using the school's mobile App on a Smartdevice, and creating a Family Access account for gradebook access. Representatives from Herff Jones will be in the Spartan Lobby for underclassmen ring orders and graduation materials. The Athletic Booster Club will also be selling Spartanwear and related merchandise. The PTSA will also have membership and scholarship information available.

Information will be available on the cardiac screening program that the school is hosting on Thursday, March 20, 2014. In order for the program to be successful, the school needs over 100 parent and community volunteers. Please consider being a volunteer for this important event.

Special Parent Receptions with the Superintendent/Principal Dr. Michael Riordan are scheduled for 5:30, 6:30, and 7:30 p.m. in the Board of Education Room. The receptions are open to all parents. The receptions provide an opportunity for parents to ask questions and for Dr. Riordan to provide information on the course selection process, school improvement plans, and technology initiatives. Please join Dr. Riordan during one of the sessions.
