Dear Parents:
As you know, we have students within our OLPH community who have a variety of moderate to severe food allergies. Only room parents and teachers can coordinate with the school nurse for special class events involving food such as Halloween and Valentine’s Day or a birthday celebration for the children during a certain month or season. Foods can be planned that are safe for the children with allergies and special dietary requirements based on the needs of a specific class.
We often receive requests from parents to bring in foods for their child’s birthday or another special event. When it is not a planned event with the room parents and teachers as stated above, we will only allow parents to purchase ice cream from the school cafeteria.
Parents must first inform the school nurse, teacher and room parent. Ice cream is only sold on
Fridays at school.
We would also like for you to consider non-food items as class treats to celebrate your child’s special day. Ideas include:
Bubbles
Birthday child brings in a wrapped gift to share with the class (game/activity)
Gel pens
Decorative pencils
Stickers
Thank you for your support,
Sally Minardi, RN

OLPH Family Service Plan
School Year 2015­2016
PURPOSE
The two purposes of the OLPH Family Service Plan are: first, to help OLPH School by having  parent volunteers assist in activities that occur during the school day or are considered  school­sponsored enrichment activities and second, to enlist parent volunteers in helping the
School to reach its fundraising goals.
OVERVIEW
The OLPH Family Service Plan requires each family to perform 30 hours of service (15 hours  per family with a single, disabled, or deployed parent) from a predetermined list of activities.
The Principal and HSA Executive Board may approve other activities on a case­by­case basis.
The Family Service Plan year begins on May 16, 2015 and ends on May 15, 2016 . Families that  fail to complete the required 30 (or 15) hours of service by  May 15, 2016 will be required to pay
fees as explained below.
FAMILY SERVICE PLAN FEE
Families that are unable to meet the necessary service hours set forth above shall be required to  pay $20 per hour for any hours not performed. Families can mitigate this payment by performing  service hours. The maximum that may be charged is $   $20 per hour).
Likewise, a family with a single, disabled, or deployed parent will be required to pay a $
fee (15 hours X $20.00  = $ 300.00). This fee will also be reduced by $ 20.00 for every hour of  service completed.
Families of students enrolled during the course of the school year are required to perform on a  pro­rated basis. For example, should a student start in January, then 15 service hours shall be  required by that family in effort not to be charged the fees discussed above.
RECORD KEEPING
It is the  ​  to maintain an accurate record of service hours. Each  family will maintain their Family Service Record on a later determined recommended Volunteer
Center Site. Once the OLPH Volunteer Center is up and running  ​ into The OLPH Volunteer Center within 30 days of the service will not be counted toward  your Family Service Hours. The OLPH Volunteer Center will only allow hours to be  entered within 30 days of completion.  ​ passed.
Once your family has submitted 30 service hours, you will receive confirmation that your hours
are complete. No additional tracking is required.
Prior to April 1 st
​ nd
Vice President will send a notice to all families that have reported fewer  than 20 hours of service as of March 31 st
​ will be notified if fewer than 10 hours are reported.

If a family cannot complete the required hours due to extenuating circumstances, a request shall  be sent to the Principal or the HSA Executive Board outlining the reason(s). Based on this
request the family may be granted a  ​   for the “current school year” from  completing the required hours.
SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES
Family Service Opportunities will be listed on The OLPH Volunteer Center.
