​The Olathe Basketball Booster Clubs, along with the Basketball coaches at Olathe North High School would like to invite students and parents to “Late Night At The Nest” this year. This is quickly becoming a fun and exciting evening to kick off the Basketball season.
 
Late Night At The Nest will take place December 3, 2019, in the North Gym from 7:00 – 9:00pm. Doors will open at 6:30 with music, concessions, and the 50/50 raffle, and the program begins at 7:00pm.  The cost is $2 a person and all proceeds go to help both Basketball programs. The night will be jammed packed with music, concessions, 50/50 raffle, an opportunity for everyone to meet the coaches and players, watch a scrimmage from both the girls and boys teams, see a slam dunk and 3-point shoot-out, and witness a dance off!  We’ll even have the Eaglettes and cheerleaders to help maximize our spirit for the evening!
 
I hope you all will come support this event and show your ON pride!

​Heads up,
as you are approaching the weekend and perhaps doing some shopping, I wanted to let you know that my advisory will be doing a supply drive for the Olathe Animal Shelter.  There are many items that they need and could use to keep the animals happy and healthy.  I am going to attach the list if you would like to get started early.  Our drive will officially begin just after Thanksgiving. I hope you have a wonderful weekend and stay warm.

Hello, (Owl, Raven, Eagle, Falcon, Hawk) Families,
We wanted to update you on an important piece of information that will impact students planning to attend one of our Kansas Board of Regents schools in the future. These schools include: Emporia State University, Fort Hays State University, Kansas State University, Pittsburg State University, the University of Kansas and Wichita State University. The anticipated amendments to Admissions Requirements will most likely start impacting our current juniors, the class of 2021. Our current seniors, class of 2020, will be admitted based upon current criteria. It is important to note that our Olathe Graduation Requirements will remain the same. Please consult your student’s school counselor with any questions.
Thank you,
Olathe (West, Northwest, North, South, East) Counseling Department


​Hola familias (Owl, Raven, Eagle, Falcon, Hawk),
Queríamos actualizarlo acerca de una importante pieza de información que impactará a los estudiantes que planean asistir a una de nuestras universidades que son parte de la Junta de Regentes de Kansas en el futuro. Estas universidades incluyen: Emporia State University, Fort Hays State University, Kansas State University, Pittsburg State University, University of Kansas y Wichita State University. Las enmiendas anticipadas a los Requisitos de Admisión muy probablemente comenzarán a impactar a nuestros estudiantes de 11er año, o sea la clase que se graduará en el año 2021. Nuestros actuales estudiantes en su último año de preparatoria, o sea la clase que se graduará en el año 2020, serán admitidos en base a los criterios actuales. Es importante señalar que nuestros requisitos de graduación de Olathe seguirán siendo los mismos. Por favor, consulte con el consejero de la escuela de su hijo si tiene alguna pregunta.
Gracias,
Departamento de Consejería de Olathe (West, Northwest, North, South, East)

Attention Eagle Families!
 
Next Thursday, our custodian Antonio will be setting up our giant tree in the front lobby so that our Center Based Resource students can come down Friday during their 4th hour IPS class to help decorate and get in the holiday spirit. For those of you new to Olathe North, we set this up each year as our Giving Tree and welcome donations of new hats, gloves, scarves, etc…so that students and families in need can take from the tree to help get them through the cold months of Winter. We will be inviting students in need to visit the tree All remaining items will be donated to ensure they are put to use.
 
If you are out and about this weekend, please consider grabbing some items – any size – to donate to our cause. Feel free to also spread the word to the rest of the community in case they want to bring in donations (new items only). Items can be dropped off with Jean in the office.
 
Thanks so much 😊

​Out of hundreds our entries, Olathe North is once again in the Top 20 teams in the Burns and McDonnell “Battle of the Brains” competition! This is an outstanding accomplishment for our students and wonderful for our school. The students submitted an exhibit on sound called “Hear That?” If Olathe North wins the competition the school gets a $50,000 grant for STEM education and the students’ design will be built as a permanent exhibit at Science City!
