GENERAL SCHOOL INFORMATION

School Hours

School begins at 7:45 a.m. each day.  Students may arrive at 7:30 a.m. and report to the cafeteria where teachers provide supervision from 7:30 a.m. until 7:45 a.m.  Morning prayer begins at 7:45.  Dismissal is at 3:00 p.m. on most school days.  On Faculty Meeting days, school is dismissed at 12:15 p.m.

Before and After School Care

We have a Before Care program which begins each day at 6:30 a.m. and lasts until 7:30 a.m. when our arrival process begins.  We also have an After Care program which operates each school day from dismissal until 6:00 p.m.  Fees for the Before Care and After Care programs are announced at the beginning of each school year.

Breakfast & Lunch Program

Our Lady of Guadalupe School offers a Breakfast & Lunch Program..  A Grab and Go Breakfast & hot lunch is available each day.  Students will be served a breakfast each day, this is most important for each child to start their day.

School Uniforms

OLG students wear uniforms.  Our dress code, the complete uniform policy, and our enforcement policy are provided to parents at the time of registration.  The basic uniform includes plaid jumpers or skirts for girls, depending on their grade level.  Boys and girls may also wear navy blue school-style pants with white or red uniform shirts.  The uniform plaid items are available at Fischer's Parochial Fashions 3773 New Town Blud, Charles, MO. 63301.

Religion Class and Weekly Mass

Our Lady of Guadalupe is a Catholic school and operates under the direction of the Archdiocese of St. Louis.  All students participate in daily religion classes and attend Mass at least weekly. 

Curriculum Extras

We use a traditional elementary school curriculum in Prekindergarten through Grade 8.  In addition to the core subjects, students also participate in Music, Art, Physical Education, Spanish and Computer classes.  We have Title I services available for those students who qualify.  We are most fortunate to have a group of volunteer tutors who are available to assist our students.
