Please make sure that your child has a meal every morning daily especially every morning during testing. Encourage your child (ren) to stay focused and give his /her best effort.

 Dear Mr. Platt:

I am writing to you from O'Hara Elementary in the Fox Chapel School District located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Immediately after Hurricane Sandy, our students and staff participated in several "theme days," to help raise money to benefit schools in the area of the storm. Your school was randomly selected to receive a Barnes and Noble gift card for $100. Although it is a small gift, we hope that it will help in some way to replace any books you may have lost as a result of the storm. Please know that we keep you're your students and staff in our thoughts. Good luck as you begin to rebuild your community. 



Sincerely,
Michael Rowe Ed.D
Principal
O'Hara Elementary School

Please have your children arrive at school close to the bell at 8:35 and return home promptly from the 2:55 dismissal from school.

Always have identification with you when picking up your child during the school day. Please note that only the listed guardians or emergency contacts on the emergency card will have the authority to remove a child from the building.

Parents please make sure that you have a dismissal plan for your child. Our dismissal is challenged by school bus pick up and drop off in the back of the building. It is also challenged by the high school dismissal in the front of our building. It is very important that you encourage your child to walk home immediately after school if he or she is a walker. If you or someone you have designated is picking up your child, please remain behind the cones so that the teachers and aides can see who is picking up the children. We want to make sure that students are being picked up by their parents or those designated to pick them up. See the attached notice so that you or the person assigned to pick up your child will know the correct location for pick up.
