USE OF GROUNDS

Our Lady of the Assumption School is a ministry of the OLA Parish and occupies buildings belonging to the parish. Parents wishing to use the buildings before, during, or after school for strictly school-related purposes must seek permission from the principal. Parents wishing to use the building for non-school related activates (scouts, sports, etc.) must seek permission through the parish office.

School personnel will NOT supervise students who participate in non-school related activities on church/school grounds. Parents are responsible for ensuring adequate supervision when school is not in session.
