UNIFORMS AND DRESS GUIDELINES:
Uniforms are encouraged, but not required 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.

We are all saddened by last week’s senseless tragedy in Texas. As a principal who deeply cares for our students, families and staff, it has been difficult for me to find the words to voice my feelings.
At Olympic View Elementary, we must work together to keep our school community safe. A starting point is that if you see something, say something. Discuss with your children that we do not make jokes about harming others. We encourage families to have age-appropriate conversations with your children about what happened in Texas last Tuesday. Our school counselor and school psychologist, are available to provide support for students on campus, but we know that parents and legal guardians are a vital part of a child’s education that extends outside of school hours.
Children and educators should be able to go to school free from violence. As we move forward together, I call on our school community to remember that every action begins with each one of us. I urge each of you to take good care of yourselves and your families and to find ways to connect with one another through compassion. Please know that our school can provide resources to any families who feel they need support.
Together, we can provide the comfort and care needed for our children. We pledge to partner with families to move forward and heal. Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s teacher or the school office.
Yours in safety and education,
Lisa Lines, Principal
