Tuition Payments

     Just a reminder, the first payment for the shcool year was due on August 1.  Late fees will be assessed when a payment is received after the 15th of the month it is due.  Please use the BLUE envelope and tuition coupon with your payment.  Thank you for your cooperation!

Meet the Teacher Night

     All parents are invited to meet the teachers on September 9th from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.  You will follow the schedule we will send home with your child.  Each teacher will have fifteen minutes to present his/her objectives and expectations for your child.  Since some parents have more than one child attending school, we recommend that you visit the teacher you need to see.  

     Target donates 1% of purchases made using the RED card to eligible schools.  OBLS is registered for this program.  Schools are issued Take Charge of Education donations each March and September.    
     Thank you for sending in the box top labels, too!  This money is used to purchase some of the teacher supplies during the school year.
