Olympic View went through the certification process to become a Leader in Me Lighthouse School! We were notified that we have been awarded the honor!
Within the education industry, it is common for schools to receive recognition for outstanding achievement. The Lighthouse Certification is a highly-regarded standard set by FranklinCovey that is attainable by every Leader in Me school. As it is a significant benchmark, applying for this certification typically occurs four to five years after a school begins the Leader in Me process.
The certification is evidence that schools have produced outstanding results in school and student outcomes, by implementing the process with fidelity and excellence. It is also because of the extraordinary impact that the schools may be having on staff, students, parents, and the greater community.
We had a wonderful leadership day on Friday as well as our 6th grade dance!

Thank you to our Golden Eagle Families for spoiling our staff this past week. Your donations, cards, flowers and gifts were greatly appreciated by all!
UNIFORMS AND DRESS GUIDELINES: Uniforms are encouraged at Olympic View. Your support of and commitment to the uniform policy is vital to its success! We believe it sets high standards for the students by:
reducing peer pressure
increasing safety and security
eliminating the wearing of inappropriate clothing items
improving personal responsibility and accountability
preparing for the workplace
reinforcing positive behavior
allowing students to focus on academic targets Uniforms support our school spirit and a sense of esprit de corp. Our goal is to keep our focus on academic and social growth, not on the latest fashion trends. We see school uniforms as one positive and creative way to reduce discipline problems and increase school safety. Students who feel safe and secure learn basic values, the essentials of good citizenship, and are better students. The school uniform consists of the following: solid Navy blue or Khaki pants, shorts, skirts or jumpers, and solid red, white, or navy-blue shirts. If you require assistance acquiring the uniforms, please contact the office. Information is confidential. School Spirit shirts can be worn on any day of the school week. If you choose NOT to have your child wear a school uniform, the district dress policy must be followed: Students are expected to come to school appropriately dressed. Students failing to dress appropriately will be asked to change. If students are unable to change, parents/guardians will be contacted to bring clothing for their child to school. Parents/guardians are encouraged to have all student clothing free of any writing, pictures, or insignias. Students are not allowed to display by wearing or placement of apparel which would signify the affiliation or intent of affiliation in a student group advocating or participating in disruptive behavior.
