SAFETY REMINDERS
Parents, as an important safety reminder, there may be times that the front circle is blocked off for bus use only. This may be due to a field trip that is leaving first thing in the morning. Parents are asked to use the upper blacktop or Stacy Park for student drop off in the morning. NEVER let your child out of the car from Old Bonhomme Road as it puts your child in significant danger since an approaching car is not expecting your car to stop!
Counselor Notes
Individual counseling is available through the St. Louis Children's Service Fund. We have a licensed professional counselor who can meet with your child on a weekly basis for thirty minutes. There are a couple more spaces available. If you are interested, contact Mrs. Arnold at 983-5546 or harnold@ladueschools.net.
Office Notes/Enrollment
Parents, if your child will not be enrolling in the Ladue School District for the 2015-16 school year. Please contact Mrs. Dunkle in the school office at cdunkle@ladueschools.net so we can plan accordingly for staffing purposes.
OB's Got Character
Our Kindness Campaign is in full swing! Thank you to all the families who have chosen kindness by decorating and sending in a handprint! We are so pleased that more than a "handful" of OB families have already joined in and are hoping All OB family members will join in on our Kindness Campaign and pledge
to Choose Kindness! If you have not done so yet, please "raise your hand" and pledge
to 
ChooseKindness by decorating a handprint. Decorated handprints should be cut out and returned to the front office as soon as possible. Coming soon..... all the handprints will "bloom" into something special just in time for Spring! Additional handprints are available in the office if needed. Thank you KINDly for considering to pledge if you have not already:)
