Lunch at OB
We are always happy to have parents join us for lunch! At the beginning of the year, when students have assigned seats and are learning the cafeteria routines, you and your student will sit at a private table so it doesn’t upset the routine for others sitting where assigned. If you want, the student you are joining may invite up to two additional students. More than two makes others feel left out. At this point in the year, several grade levels (second-fourth) have earned the privilege of free seating at their classroom table so you may join your child anywhere at their classroom table and there should be plenty of room for everyone.
After lunch, please say good-bye and the student will walk back with his or her class and teacher. At that time, please remember to sign out in the office.
Parent Volunteers Needed
Dear Parents,
We are looking for a few parent volunteers who can help with a SOAR event on October 16 from 12:50-3:10 p.m. You would help run some carnival games and supervise students as they enjoy the carnival.
Please let Stephanie Chapie know if you are available to help, schapie@ladueschools.net. We really appreciate your assistance in making our first SOAR event of the year a success!
Picture Retakes
Picture Retake day will be on Thursday, October 15. If your child was absent on picture day, please make sure you fill out a picture order form, which are available in the office, or go to mylifetouch.com and use Picture Day ID: JO015099Y1. If your child is having their picture retaken they must return the original picture package to the photographer on picture day.
Square One Art
Look for a custom catalog that displays your child’s artwork coming home soon!

After-School Enrichment Classes
It was a great first week of After-School Classes, and we hope your children had as much fun as the teachers did! Just a quick reminder to all the parents that students must be picked up from the classroom by 4:55. Please be respectful of our parent volunteers and be on time. Any children not picked up will be taken to BASK and the parent charged accordingly for the late pick-up. If the problem continues your child may be removed from the After-School Class. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
Nominate your Teacher or Principal & win a
visit from Rampage & Cheerleaders
Elementary students can win a Rams Pride visit on a Friday before a Sunday game by writing a short note about the unique qualities of their favorite educator. Learn more about the program and apply by clicking here.
As the webpage will explain, the Rams will visit one (1) elementary school the Friday before each home game, with the exception of our Thursday Night Football game. The concept is to award an outstanding teacher and/or administrator with a visit from Rampage and Rams cheerleaders. The visits are a blast for the kids and usually last about 30-45 minutes.
