Dear OLMC Parents,The coronavirus COVID-19 has created an unprecedented set of circumstances across the country, and for several weeks, OLMC faculty & staff have been meeting to discuss this rapidly changing situation. Our primary consideration has always been the health and safety of our students, faculty, staff and families. Therefore, in consultation with the health department, the Office of Catholic Schools and the public school superintendents in Hamilton County, Our Lady of Mount Carmel School will suspend all in-person classes effective Monday, March 16 through the end of the school year. Obviously, this is a fluid situation and we appreciate your patience and understanding.
God Bless,
OLMC School Administration
