Required Documents for Class of 2030
All frosh, Class of 2030, are required to submit the following documents through their Power School Portal. This includes (1) a copy of their birth certificate or passport, (2) a copy of their final 8th grade transcripts, (3) immunization records (see CAShots for details), and (4) a current physical dated after June 1, 2026. For any questions, please reach out to [email protected].
OLP Athletics
If you are planning on participating in OLP Athletics, please make sure you complete all required Athletic Registrations forms and upload a current physical dated after June 1, 2026. In addition please make sure you have read all forms carefully and added the required signatures. Once you have completed the registration process, you will receive an email confirming that you are cleared for tryouts. All forms need to be completed and returned to the school: [email protected]
Complete the Opening of School Forms on PowerSchool
All opening of school forms are now accessible on PowerSchool. It is recommended that all parents download the PowerSchool app for easier navigation of forms! It is much easier on the App and easily allows you to complete the same forms for all siblings. Once you download the App, you will be asked for the OLP District Code: HJJR.
All OLP student course schedules for the 2026–2027 academic year will be available through the OLP PowerSchool website or app starting June 1. To view class registrations, navigate to Class Registrations 26-27 in the Left Side Menu. Final schedules with teachers and room locations will be released after the conclusion of Summer School in the final week of July.
To view a student's ID, go to Student Profile, also found in the Left Side Menu.
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 2026-2027 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 2026.
ASSISTANT PRINCIPALS BY STUDENT LAST NAME:

Students can use their course schedule and the textbook list to order their 2026-2027 textbooks. For your convenience, starting June 1, 2026, OLP has partnered with Follett Virtual Bookstores as our official source for textbooks! Using the booklist provided by faculty, Follett stocks course materials in a variety of formats and seeks cost-effective solutions, such as rentals and used books, whenever possible. Another advantage to this partnership is that Follett will buy books back at the end of the year if they can be used again. Questions about the textbook buying process? Please email Mrs. Siobhan MacManus, Head Librarian.
Uniforms can be purchased from WearColors Uniforms online. Items ship from a Los Angeles distribution center within 2-5 business days.
Pilots, don't let summer assignments sneak up on you! Complete all coursework before the first day of classes and hit the ground running. Access everything through the OLP Summer Assignments 2026 Google Site below.

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 guide 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.
BYOD Minimum Requirements
- Laptop Specifications: (Mac/Windows/ChromeBook)
- Wi-Fi: 802.11 g/n/x/ax
- Battery Life: 6+ hours recommended (4 hours min.)
- System Age: Younger than four years
Please note: iPads are not supported due to software compatibility issues.
For reference, below is the percentage of the student body that uses the following types of devices (2025-2026 school year):
- Apple MacBook (MacOS) = 85%
- PC (Windows OS) = 8%
- Chromebook = 7%
Download the OLP PowerSchool APP
The OLP PowerSchool APP allows parents to easily track students' grades, submit required forms, and check attendance.
NOTE: Login to PowerSchool from a browser first (desktop or laptop), before attempting to login via the app. First login typically requires you to choose a new password, which can cause issues in the app.
STEP 1. Download the Mobile App
STEP 2. Enter the District Code
STEP 3. Watch one of the PowerSchool Videos to learn how to easily navigate the app.
STEP 4. Complete the OLP Opening of School Forms.
If you are struggling with accessing the PowerSchool APP, you can always access the online Web-based browser. Also, you can reach out to one of our team members in IT at [email protected].
Be sure to complete the required forms. These are due within the first week of school and a requirement to participate in any co-curricular activities. All parents and students are also required to read and sign the annual acknowledgment of reading the OLP Student-Parent Handbook.
Download the OLP Schoology APP
If you are struggling to download the APP, you can always access Schoology from any browser below:
NOTE: Login to Schoology from a browser first (desktop or laptop), before attempting to login via the app. First login typically requires you to choose a new password, which can cause issues in the app.
The OLP Schoology APP allows parents to easily track comments from teachers, students' assignments, and check on missing assignments.
STEP 1. Download the Mobile App
STEP 2. Enter Academy of Our Lady of Peace, and enter the username (email) and password assigned by the school. If you do not have these, enter forgot password!
- Make sure you are connected to your Students in Schoology!
STEP 3. Watch one of the Schoology Videos to learn how to navigate the app.
Schoology Mobile App for Parents
STEP 4. Be sure to sign-up for parent notifications!
- In the top right hand corner, click on your student's Profile Picture (It should be their name)
- Scroll down to Settings....top left Account
- Click on Notifications. You can choose how you would like your parent notifications set-up. For our family, this is your pass for the weekend! I like mine to come in right before the teen decides to go out on Friday night. If the email shows me no missing assignments, then they get to go. Otherwise, negotiations begin! Choose what works best for your family. For us, once weekly is good. For you, it might be daily. Think of it like the stock market... if you check too often, it might cause unnecessary stress. Too infrequently, and you might not be able to recover fast enough!
Finally, if you get stuck, reach out to [email protected]. One of our IT team members will be sure to help!
