Dear Parents and Students,
NEW DOORBELL
Parents, as part of our process to continue to make Olympus Jr. as safe as possible, a new procedure to enter the school will require the use of our new camera doorbell. As you come to the doors on the east side of the building (all other doors are locked), on your right, on the wall, is a doorbell. Push the button and you will be asked to show identification to enter. Thanks for your help to make Olympus a safe place.
OLYMPUS SOCIAL MEDIA
Please follow our social media accounts: Instagram: olympusjrofficial Facebook: Olympus Jr. High
We will post information and photos of school events.
OLYMPUS JR PTA FUNDRAISER
We are beginning our PTA fundraiser for Olympus Jr. High. It is the same as last year with purchasing banners that we hang around our school showing your support. Please see the PTA attachment for more information on how to donate.
POSSIBLE SCAMS
It has recently come to our attention that a local scammer is contacting parents offering SAT Prep Materials and solicits credit card information. To be clear, our school and the district does NOT endorse any private test prep providers or materials and our students generally do not participate in the SAT, but in the ACT. We do NOT provide outside vendors with our student’s contact information and would never allow a vendor to solicit our parents directly for resources that we provide our students directly.
If you receive such a solicitation, please obtain as much information as you can including a phone and contact information and please alert law enforcement as appropriate. NEVER give your financial or personal information to telephone solicitors without knowing and confirming the product and company information.
It is disheartening that this is taking place and we hope this information is helpful to you.
STUDENT ELECTION PACKETS
Election packets for students wanting to run for class officers in 6,7 & 8 grades, will be available starting August 21 in the main office.
SCHOOL COMMUNITY COUNCIL ELECTIONS
Come be part of an influential part of Olympus Jr. High. We have 3 opening on our School Community Council this year. Members of this council make decisions for Olympus Jr. High in regards to school goals, technology and safety and are responsible for appropriating $100,000 in these areas. If you are interested, please fill out the attached declaration form to run by August 22. Elections, if needed, will be held Aug. 23.
That’s all for this week. Look for a follow up email in the next week and be sure to like and follow us on Facebook and Instagram.
Thanks,
John Anderson
Principal
