Dear Parents, Guardians, and Students,

Welcome to yet another school year here at OLGC, where we, as a family, strive to both reach academic excellence and foster spiritual growth. Below you will find a few important links, as well as my contact information. If there are any questions, comments, or concerns, I would greatly appreciate you contacting me immediately. It is always better to deal with each matter as soon as it arises, so please do not hesitate to call, email, or send me a note whenever you like. If you would like to hold a public conversation, please visit the discussion page for further details. Thank you, and I look forward to an excellent school year.

Below, please find the list of for the 2013-2014 school year. I ask that students have each of these supplies by the first week of school.
 * Looseleaf
 * At least three sharpened number two pencils
 * At lease one **large** eraser
 * At least two pens (blue or black ink)
 * At least two red pens
 * One ruler (six or twelve inch)
 * One protractor
 * One math copybook
 * One geography copybook
 * One ELA copybook
 * Either three separate two pocket folders or three sections of an eight pocket folder used solely for math, geography, and ELA
 * Small, sturdy pencil sharpener

Covering your textbooks: By the second week of school, I ask that every textbook be covered in brown paper (with your last name written down the spine of the book), and then covered with clear contact. Please, no book socks.

Each fifth grade student in my homeroom is asked to bring a box of tissues, a roll of paper towels and a container of sanitary wipes the first week of school.
