A Reminder From the Attendance Office       
Please give yourself enough time to get to school safely, and with time to spare. Weather and car problems are not excused reasons to be tardy. Please set your alarm clock for an earlier time when adverse weather conditions are likely.  Attendance...Every Day Matters! 
 
To ensure students are successful, please make school attendance a priority. It is important that students show up every day and that every student receives a good night's sleep. Please try to avoid scheduling dental and medical appointments during the school day, and do not let your child stay home unless they are truly sick. Each student may only receive five excused absences per semester. Any absences after that must be documented. Attendance...Every Day Matters! 

The procedure in place for students who must leave during the school day for situations such as court appearances or funerals, families can print out a pre-arranged absence form at www.olchs.org under the "students" tab or students may pick up a form in deans'/attendance office.

Attendance...Every Day Matters!
