Back-to-School Night

Wednesday, August 28, 2024

5:45 - 7:40 PM

OLCHS would like to invite all families to our Back-to-School Night.  This event is an opportunity for families to walk their student’s schedules and meet their student’s teachers for a brief overview of their course expectations.  This evening will also include an opportunity to hear from our Student Services Department and meet our Deans.  

Teachers will be in the same classrooms your students see them in, with the exception of PE.  For PE please see the locations below.  You will follow your student’s schedule throughout the evening.  Student schedules can be accessed in Skyward Family Access. Please review and print or screenshot your student’s schedule prior to this evening. Parents needing assistance with the schedule can visit the Media Center starting at 5:30pm to ensure that everyone makes it on time to first period.
