School Site Council is looking for new members!!! Elections will be held Wednesday,

We have openings for next year’s Council for 2 parent representatives and 1 parent alternate. Any parent/guardian whose child attends our school and is not a paid employee on staff at the school site is eligible to be a SSC parent representative. The SSC usually meets one Wednesday a month from 4:00 pm to 5:30 pm. If you would like to place your name on the ballot for parent representative or parent alternate, please complete the lower portion of this letter. Include a short bio telling a little bit about yourself and why you are interested in serving on the School Site Council, and return both items to the school office by Friday, August 2, 2019.

We have a very small parking lot for the size of our school! It is extremely important that everyone is PATIENT and follows the safety rules.

We worked hard last year to bring down our chronic absenteeism. Our efforts helped us to improve. Did you know, that schools and districts are rated based on attendance? Did you know that schools and districts lose funding?
- in 2017 – 18, Olympic View was rated 26th out of 46 schools for Chronic Absences
- With our efforts, we moved up to 17th in the 2018-19 school year!!!! Great job! We can do even better!
- We had a chronic absences rate of a little over 4% last year
- Our goal is to be under 3%
Please use the 2019-20 Year Round Schools Calendar to plan vacations. If you must have your student out for 5 or more days, please see the office 2 weeks in advance for an independent study contract.
