Book Club to Kick Off Teen Tech Week
|
To celebrate the upcoming Teen Tech Week, the Media Center will host its next Student-Staff Book Club. This year's book is titled I am the Weapon by Allen Zadoff. Publishers Weekly describes it as a "violent, entertaining twist on the teen spy novel . . . blunt and hard-edged." Best selling author Barry Lyga commented, "When James Bond was a little boy, he wanted to grow up to be half as hard-core as Boy Nobody." Book Club will take place on April 13, 2016, in the Media Center at 3:00 p.m. <<read more>>

Arana Breaks Five-Minute Mile
|
Each week the Athletic Department and the Spartan Athlete Leadership Team (SALT) selects a Spartan Athlete of the Week. The recipient for the week of March 7 is boys' track and field runner Diego Arana.
Arana broke the five-minute mile two weeks ago for the first time with a time of 4:51. This past weekend, he was the lead-off runner in the 3,200 relay, which took eight seconds off its previous best time, he took fourth in the 800 with a PR of 2:08, and he took fourth in the 1,600 with a time of 4:54. What makes the performance even more impressive is that these personal records all came at the competitive 10-team Argo Indoor Invitational. Rachel Pierzynski of girls' track and field was the other Spartan Athlete of the Week nominee.

| Residency Validation for 2016-2017 |
OLCHS is collecting
residency documentation for the 2016-17 school year. In past years, the documents were collected in the summer as part of the back-to-school registration process. The intent of the change is to speed up the summer registration process and to reduce the need for parents to visit campus during the August iPad/textbook pick-up days. Families are expected to have their residency documentation submitted by June 30, 2016.
On Tuesday, February 16, 2016, each family was emailed information on the 2016-17 Residency Validation process. Within the email there was a hyperlink to InfoSnap to allow families to upload their residency documentation. Although an email was sent for each student enrolled, a family only needs to complete the InfoSnap process once. Please use InfoSnap to complete your Residency Validation process. If you did not receive the email or have other residence questions, please contact Maria Vanderwarren at 708/741-5602 or mvanderwarren@olchs.org. Although families are encouraged to submit their documentation electronically via InfoSnap, families do have the option of submitting the required residency documentation via email, fax, U.S. Mail, or by dropping off copies of the required paperwork at the school. Families that prefer to submit the documentation by hardcopy must print the Residency Validation Form and submit copies of all the required paperwork. The school will not make copies. Additionally, staff members are not available during the school day without an appointment. Residency questions and requests for appointments should be directed to Maria Vanderwarren at 708/741-5602 or mvanderwarren@olchs.org. Families needing assistance can visit campus on: 1) Monday, March 14, 2016, from 4:00 - 8:00 p.m.; or 2) Wednesday, April 13, 2016, from 4:00 - 8:00 p.m. << read more>>
