Back to School 2026-2027

Back to School Night: Thursday, August 13, 2026

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.

Relationships are fundamental to the partnerships we develop as a school and parent in the education of your daughters. All OLP parents and guardians are invited to Back-to-School Night on Thursday, August 13 at 6:00 pm. We will begin the night with parent grade-level class meetings from 6:00 pm - 6:20 pm. Locations are listed below. 

• Frosh Class of 2030 will have the chance to mix and mingle with Pilot Parents on St. Joseph Upper Plaza
• Soph Class of 2029 will meet in the St. Thérèse Library and Performing Arts Complex, Tubao Library (2nd Floor)
• Junior Class of 2028 will meet in the St. Thérèse Library and Performing Arts Complex, Theater (Lower Level)
• Senior Class of 2027 will meet in Campus Ministry

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 5:30 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 of Curriculum and Instruction Jen Meza at [email protected].

Prior to Back-to-School Night, parents should consult with their daughter about their class schedule. Students will be provided a class schedule guide for their parents. A copy of the class schedule is also accessible on PowerSchool. As partners in education, parents are encouraged to attend Back-to-School Night in order to meet teachers and receive pertinent course information. It is not, however, necessary to inform the school if you are unable to attend.

Schedule

• 5:30 - 6:00 pm: Grab and Go Refreshments available on St. Joseph Plaza
• 6:00 - 6:20 pm: Parent Grade Level Class Meetings

For those attending Back-to-School Night via Zoom, an email will be sent the morning of Back to School Night.

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.

Student schedules for 2026-2027 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 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.

Summer Assignments 2026

Be sure to complete all summer assignments for courses by the first day of classes! All summer assignments can be accessed through our OLP Summer Assignments 2026, Google Site below. 

OLP Summer Assignments 2026

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.

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 (2023-2024 school year):

• Apple MacBook (MacOS) = 86%
• PC (Windows OS) = 8%
• Chromebook = 6%

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 acknowledgement of reading the OLP Student-Parent Handbook.

Download the OLP Schoology APP

If you are struggling downloading the APP, you can always access Schoology from any browser below:

OLP Schoology

The OLP Schoology APP allows parents to easily track comments from teacher's, student's 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!

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
• It will now in the Top Left say 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 though like the stock market... if you check too often, it might cause unnecessary stress. To 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!
