PARENT VISITS ARE THIS FRIDAY!
Parents and Guardians are invited to our annual Parent Visitation Day on Friday, February 3th! Please take this opportunity to experience the academic rigor and classroom expectations at Olympian High School, re-establish connections with staff, and meet with Ms. Huslin and the site leadership team. The schedule will be as follows:
· Sign-in and pick up class schedule in the MPR from 8:00 a.m. to 8:25 a.m.
· Coffee and donuts provided courtesy of PTSO
· Attend as many class periods as you can. We encourage you to spend the whole day from 8:30 a.m. –1:00 p.m.

VISITATION GUIDELINES FOR PARENTS
- When observing in your child’s room, please find a seat designated by the classroom teacher. Sitting right next to your child may cause your child to lose focus on the teacher and lesson.
- There are times that the parent needs access to the teacher for questions. If you have questions, please contact the teacher via e-mail or a phone call to arrange a time for you and the teacher to talk. It may be more convenient to ask while doing an observation, but that takes the teacher’s focus off of the students. Students are our number one priority.
- No siblings or pets.
- Be mindful of talking, cell phone usage or any other behavior that interrupts the lesson.
Dianne Huslin, Principal
