Specialists
At Our Lady of the Assumption School, our scholars Kindergarten through 8th Grade are fortunate
to have every specialist, once a week, every week!
Library/Technology, Art, Music, Physical Education, Spanish:
Library/Technology
The mission of the OLA Library is: to enable students to independently access, evaluate, and use information efficiently and effectively with the goal of becoming a life long learner and producer of knowledge; to support the educational objectives of the school's curriculum; to foster a love of reading; and to encourage our students to live the school's mission statement.
The purpose of the OLA Computer and Technology program is that each student is able to comfortably use a computer/tablet. Computer skills will be introduced in the primary grades and mastered as students advance to the middle school level. Through this exposure, students will gain a positive view of computers as tools for learning. Both iPads and Chromebooks are utilized in the OLA Technology program.

Art
Our Art program begins in Pre-k 4 through 8th grade, and offers an engaging curriculum that instills the gift of self-expression, creativity, the exploration of new ideas, and an appreciation for the Fine Arts.
Students create many wonderful pieces that they, and the school are so proud of.
Music
Our Music program begins in Pre-k 4 through 8th grade and offers each student a chance at truly performing in and outside of the classroom. Students dive into the basics of music theory, how to perform, learn many songs, participate in many social- emotional games and activities fostering their development. Students 1st-4th participate in a yearly Christmas Concert.
Physical Education
Our Physical Education program begins in Pre-k 4 through 8th and provides the students with a fun and active program that focuses on sportsmanship, respect for others and overall exercise.
*Students wear a gym uniform on their assigned Phys Ed day.*
Spanish
OLA offers Spanish as a foreign language beginning in first grade. The 1st through 4th-grade program introduces students to basic vocabulary, grammar and simple dialogue that develops through weekly class participation and practice assignments. Students are also exposed to Latin American cultures. The curriculum becomes more advanced as the students progress through the grades.
Students in 5th through 8th grade are introduced to verbs and grammar rules to provide them with the ability to read, write, and communicate in basic Spanish. Cultural instruction is also an integral component of the program. Students explore the history, holidays, and traditions of Spanish- speaking countries.
