Frosh Welcome Letter Dear Freshmen Parents and Students, On behalf of the entire OLP community, we would like to extend a warm welcome to you!

OLP participates in the nationwide Link Crew Program, an organization whose sole purpose is to help freshmen feel more comfortable as they transition from eighth grade to high school. The program begins on Freshmen Orientation Day and will continue throughout their freshmen year.

The Link Crew freshmen orientation and transition program is designed to both welcome and support freshmen by assigning them a junior and senior Link Leader as a mentor during their first year. Link Leaders are responsible older students who were selected from a large pool of applicants and have met the qualifications of being a good role model and positive leader on our campus. Here is what you and your student can expect in advance of their first day of school: 1. Your student will receive a phone call from their Link Leader reminding her of Orientation Day on August 13, 2014. The day will start at 8:00 AM in the Holy Family Event Center, and end at 3:00 PM. 2. Please keep in mind, Orientation Day is mandatory for students! All parents are invited and encouraged to join us on campus for the duration of Orientation Day (Freshmen Parent Orientation will take place separately from 8 AM – 12:00 PM).

3. Students are encouraged not to bring backpacks, purses or other like items as the day is quite active.

4. Students are required to be in compliance with the school’s non-uniform appearance code on Orientation Day (see page13 of this booklet).

We look forward to welcoming you onto campus this August!

Sincerely,

Jeanette Handelsman Assistant Principal of Campus Life

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) 2014-2015 BYOD Minimum Requirements OLP strives to develop mastery of 21stcentury skills in each student in order that she becomes an engaged agent of change in our global society. Technology plays a critical role in the way we collaborate and communicate in that same world.

To this end, beginning with the 20142015 academic year, OLP is requiring that all students have access to the tools of the 21st-century via a mobile device. With respect to OLP’s mission and the economic diversity of our families, OLP is not mandating the specific device each student uses, but rather, has adopted a “Bring Your Own Device” (BYOD) policy that outlines minimum specifications for whatever device a family chooses.

*Students should bring their chosen device on August 14th to ensure connectivity prior to the first day of School.

Individual English instructors have selected preferred editions of texts, which will be communicated via the class syllabus.

All English books are available via ESCO and students will be given reasonable amounts of time to purchase necessary texts.

Christian Service Learning Program As members of the OLP community, each student offers Christian Service as evidence of her part in the building of Christ’s kingdom of justice, love and peace. It is, therefore, a requirement for graduation to complete 85 hours of volunteer Service.

A minimum of 25 hours of Service must be completed each of the freshman, sophomore and junior years. The requirement also extends to the completion of Service hours within specific grade-level categories. Students are encouraged to go above and beyond the 25 hour Service requirement and may turn in all hours completed; however, the required minimum of 25 hours must be completed within the designated category. Senior year students are required to complete a total of 10 hours at one, official nonprofit by the end of January their senior year.

Students may begin accumulating Service hours for the next grade level upon completion of their second semester; they are encouraged to utilize the summer vacation to participate in meaningful Service experiences.

» Freshman year

Freshmen are assigned to focus on Community Awareness while completing their 25 hours of Service.

Community Awareness includes any volunteer Service completed within an official nonprofit organization.

Freshmen are encouraged to seek Service experiences that are new to them and which will help them develop an awareness of the variety of volunteer opportunities available in their communities. Please note that participation in charity walks as a fundraiser/walker is not an acceptable form of Service, however, students may assist the organization in the actual production of the walk.

»Sophomore year

Sophomores are assigned to focus on Social Service hours. Sophomores need to complete a minimum of 25 hours of direct Service. Direct Service means that volunteers are working directly with those for whom the Service is offered. Students should seek opportunities which serve the most vulnerable of our human communities.

Social Service:

Children (except day care centers and other privileged institutions) Elderly (except retirement homes) Hungry, Homeless, and Housing Hospital Volunteers Disabled Crisis Centers

»Junior year

Juniors are assigned to focus on Concerns of Science Service hours. Juniors need to complete a minimum of 25 hours of Service. Concerns of Science consist of any hours which are served in the act of research, learning and/or action regarding matters of the environment, animals, nonprofit health or behavioral Services, biological sciences or in individually approved cases pertaining to political sciences.

Concerns of Science:

Ecology/Environment Animal Care Recycling Work with nonprofits that address behavioral health Research with an organization that works with the ethical issues of biological sciences.

»Senior year

Seniors must complete ten hours of Service at ONE officially recognized nonprofit organization to be verified by a letter from one’s supervisor on the official letterhead of the nonprofit. This Service experience must take place between Saturday, June 2, 2014 and Friday, January 30, 2015. The purpose of creating a commitment to one organization is to encourage students to fully understand the mission of the organization and establish worthwhile relationships within the organization. Students are encouraged to choose an organization that reflects their career interests in some way. Reflections on their Service learning experience will take place in all senior level religion courses.
