In collaboration with the Office of Advancement, the PSA is offering families in PreK - Kindergarten the opportunity to participate in the Cool Culture Program. Each year, Cool Culture partners with over 450 schools and early education programs to provide more than 50,000 historically marginalized families and their young children with free, unlimited admission to our network of 90 premiere museums, historical societies, zoos and botanical gardens.

Increase your home library and reinforce daily family reaching.

Our principals, teachers and staff have worked too hard, and you, our families have provided too much support, that we cannot allow government officials to derail the education of your children. If you agree, please let your elected officials know how you feel, by taking a moment to call and email Governor Cuomo, Mayor de Blasio, your city council member, state assembly member, and state senator and tell them to support schools that are working and not to institute these draconian measures.

Our Lady of Lourdes School will host admissions leaders from the city's middle school leadership and academic excellence programs. Families will learn about the entry point grades, requirements, application and selection process. For more information contact: Vanessa DeCarbo at vdecarbo@ollnyc.org. Meeting will be held via Zoom , invitations to follow. Sessions will be in English and Spanish.

Please help OLL Families prepare for the cold. Donations of lightly used child and adult coats will be accepted through mid-October. Please bring washed and folded garments to the school during business hours, Monday - Friday 8am-3pm. They will need to be dropped in the front foyer.

Parents of students grades 5-8 are invited to learn more about high schools. OLL will host a general session followed by breakout opportunities to speak with each school in English and Spanish. Stay tuned in for more information.

As you learn more about the specifics relating to your individual schools, now is an ideal time to contemplate a discussion with your child about what they should expect as school reopens.... Perhaps even more importantly, this will likely be the first time the children will have seen so many of their friends in person since March. Given they will be wearing face coverings and won't have the usual physical contact or freedom of movement, there are conversations that can be started now addressing the social and emotional aspects of coming back to school in a COVID environment.

The re-opening of school in September has been on all of our minds since before the last school year ended. Like many of you, I have been carefully following CDC and NYS communications regarding the re-opening of school and waiting for the Archdiocesan task force to issue the plan for re-opening... While we continue to face challenges as we begin a new school year, I am confident that we have the right combination of parents, faculty, and staff to make school “work” optimally for our students. 

Since April, the Catholic Schools Re-Opening Council has worked tirelessly to prepare guidance that will ensure the safe return of our students, teachers, and staff to our school buildings. I am grateful for their efforts. Today, I am pleased to share with you the result of their work – Catholic Schools Opening: Moving Forward Together.

Students were asked to represent their emotions during quarantine.

Happy Father's Day to Our Lady of Lourdes School Fathers, Grandfather, God Fathers, Foster Fathers, and Step Fathers. Your often don't get the accolades deserve and we hope you are having a wonderful day. Thank you for all that you do for your own families and our OLL families.
