Punctuality is Important

Did you know that being just 5 minutes late each day can add up to a significant loss of learning time over the school year? Every minute matters! Please take a moment to talk with your child about the importance of arriving at school on time every day.

PARKING, DROP-OFF, AND PICK-UP

All of us at Olympic View want to thank our families and community members in advance for their patience and understanding as we try to accommodate the many vehicles that arrive each morning and afternoon at our school. We strongly recommend that families use the drop-off and pick-up areas we have established at school. Drop off students only in the drop-off zone.

• Do not leave your car unattended in the drop-off/pickup zones.
• NO Dogs are allowed on campus.
• Please do not park in RESERVED spaces or the staff parking lot.
• Students must walk bikes on the sidewalk.
• The drop-off window is between 7:30-8:10 AM. Breakfast on campus starts at 745 AM -8:05 AM.  Students will line up on the blacktop in the morning between 7:30-8:15 AM where they will be supervised by staff. Each class has a designated place to line up. Your child will be considered tardy if they are not in line by 8:15 AM.
• Students who are not picked up by 3:00 pm (1:30 pm on minimum days), unless in after school programs, will be escorted to the office and must sign in.  The person picking up the child must come to the office to sign him/her out.
• For everyone’s safety BE PATIENT, KIND, and CONSIDERATE.

As part of our Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) process, we are hosting an in-person and online forum for families, students, and community members to participate in our annual LCAP survey.

Hello Friends and Community Members!

More than 12,000 families in the Los Angeles area have lost their homes in the recent fires. We want to do everything we can to help our neighbors to the north!

We are collecting new teddy bears/stuffed animals and letters of encouragement to support children who have lost their homes in these fires. 

This collection drive is in honor of a local college student, Olivia, who lost her home in the Jamul Harris fire in 2007. During that time, she was given a doll with an encouraging note attached and has kept it through the years as a reminder of the kind gesture of a stranger.

She donated a bear with a note attached to our first collection on January 13th. In honor of her donation and experience we would like to provide other children with new teddy bears and notes of encouragement. Please see the attached picture of Olivia’s bear and note. 

Here is how you can help:

1. Collect new teddy bears/stuffed animals: 
2. Collect notes of encouragement for children impacted by the fires: These notes will likely be read to children by family members, so keeping them short, sincere, and positive will be appreciated. Please encourage your volunteers to decorate the notes to make them beautiful reminders that our community loves and supports these children.
3. You can place your donation in the tub outside the school office.  

The deadline for donations is January 24th so we can deliver them on the 25th. 

Please reach out to us to let us know if you can participate or if you have questions. 

Thank you in advance for your support! #BearhugsforLA
