Back to School 2024-2025

Academy of Our Lady of Peace

2024-2025 Important Dates

Student schedules for 2024-2025 will be accessible via PowerSchool starting in June. Final schedules with teachers and room locations will be released after the conclusion of Summer School, the final week of July. 

Please note that schedule changes will only be made for the following reasons:

• There is a missing course (or a "hole") in a student's schedule;
• If the student is missing a course necessary for the student to meet graduation requirements;
  • For example, the student does not have a scheduled theology course each semester; the student is missing a year-long English course; or the student did not schedule a necessary Math/Science course.  
• The student completed a course over the summer that now shifts them into a new course of study for the 2024-2025 school year.
  • For example, the student successfully completed Spanish II, moving them into Spanish  III; or the student completed a Pre-Requisite such as Honors Algebra II, for an advanced Math Course

Please note that schedules are made in April based on student and parent requests. Teacher's contracts for the academic year are then developed based on these requests, and the corresponding master schedule is built. Therefore, the school is unable to accommodate schedule changes at this time due to the following reasons without new or compelling information that was not available at the time :

• The student no longer wishes to take a course (choice, interest, has a change of heart).
• The student has decided to take opt out of a course into a study hall. 
• The student would like to switch to a different course.
  • For example, a schedule change will not be made at this time to move a student from one elective to another. 
• The student would like to change teachers.
• The student would like to switch levels (AP/Honors to Regular, or vice versa) - this would only be considered with new and compelling information

For specific information on your daughter's schedule, please reach out to their assigned counselor. Counselors will be available for appointments and returning emails starting the first week of August 2024.

We are so excited to host you for Back to School Night either in person or virtual, and have the opportunity to connect with your daughter's teachers, fellow parents, and school personnel. Below is a schedule and necessary information for the evening. All OLP parents and guardians are invited to Back-to-School Night on Thursday, August 15 at 6:00 pm. Due to spacing, we would ask that two parents/guardians per student are welcome to join us in-person; additional attendees may join via Zoom. Light grab and go refreshments/snacks will be provided outside on St. Joseph plaza starting at 6 pm. The first bell to move to Block A will ring at 6:20 pm. If you have any questions, please reach out to our Assistant Principal, Mrs. Meza.

For those attending Back-to-School Night via Zoom, an email will be sent the morning of Back to School Night linking out to a password protected webpage where you will be able to access all Zoom links for the evening. Teacher Zoom rooms will be the same all night. The email will include the necessary password for all parents to access the webpage. Parents will be following their daughter’s academic schedule to meet her teachers. Each academic block will be 10 minutes in length, with a 5 minute break in between.

OLP strives to develop mastery of 21st-century 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. OLP requires 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 does not mandate 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.

This policy and practice guides the use of interactive instruction and learning that connects our students more meaningfully to the world outside, and, just as effectively, the world outside to the classroom.

2023-2024 BYOD Minimum Requirements

• Laptop Specifications: (Mac/Windows/ChromeBook)
• Minimum Screen Size: 11 inches
• Wi-Fi: 802.11 a/b/g/n
• Battery Life: 4 hours
• System Age: Younger than four years

For reference, below is the percentage of the student body that uses the following types of devices:

• Apple OSX (MacBook) = 88%
• PC (Windows) = 9%
• Chromebook = 3%

The French Gourmet is delighted to continue our food service partnership with the Academy of Our Lady of Peace! Common Grounds, on lower plaza, will be open before school, during breaks, and lunch.
