Inclement Weather Guidelines for OLP
Winter has finally arrived in Erie.  Please review the inclement weather policy for Millcreek Schools that OLP will follow.
 
Millcreek Catholic Elementary Schools will follow the decision of the Millcreek Public School District.
 
There will NOT be an additional announcement for the Parochial/Catholic Elementary Schools. If the Millcreeck Public Elementary Schools are closed, then the Millcreek Catholic Elementary Schools are closed. The same procedure will be followed for school delays.
  
If there is a school delay, then
the OLP extended Care Program will operate on its normal schedule for students already signed up for this program.
There will be NO AM Preschool Class.
 
The OLP PEP Program will also be on a 2-Hour Delay.
  
Schools will be closed only in the event of a declared city-wide emergency or if prevailing weather conditions are considered so severe as to place children en route to schools in a clearly dangerous or unhealthy situation. These conditions include the following: 
 
- impassable streets and/or sidewalks
 
- Extreme cold temperatures and/or gale-like winds
  
The three TV channels will announce the closing or delay of schools during the 6:00a.m. news. Radio stations will also announce the delays and closings.

First Reconciliation
Dear OLP Second Grade Parents/Guardians,
 
Due to inclement weather, the First Reconciliation Parent meeting was cancelled Sunday night. I have rescheduled the meeting for Sunday, January 24, 2016, at 5:30p.m., in the church. Hope to see you all there.
 
Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for understanding.
 
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please contact me at 814-838-9983, or email me at tammie.mang@olp.org
 
Peace,

Faith Formation Director
OLP Bowling League
Bowling
Bowling will begin Monday, February 1, 2016. Students in grades 1 through 8 are eligible to bowl. Bowling starts right after school at Rolling Meadows Lanes at 32nd and Zuck.

The first night will be sign ups and one game will be bowled just for fun. The cost of bowling this year will be $50. In an effort to keep bowling affordable and to have a really nice end of season party, it has been decided to eliminate trophies at the end of the season.

It would be helpful if bowlers have an idea of who their team will be prior to the first night of bowling. If a student doesn't have a team in mind, we will be happy to put them on a team that has room and is close to the appropriate grade.

The schedule will be as follows. Please assume that if school is cancelled due to weather, bowling will be cancelled as well.

If you have any questions, please contact Liz Beres at
(814) 722-0015.
