Below is information about our summer hours, with my staff working from home it is hit and miss when we were in the office.  As of June 1 we will have staff in the office to answer phones and answer the front door.  

Beginning June 1, Olathe North will be open Monday-Thursday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. In an effort to provide a safe workspace, guests will be limited inside the building. Those needing to drop an item off or pick an item up will be asked to report to the front entrance and buzz the front office.  An employee will answer the guest and ask them what they need, someone will meet them outside the door at the call box. Several staff members will be asked to manage the doors and our guests during the office hours. There will also be an administrator in the building from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.  Other buildings will be open with similar procedures including the other four high schools, District Office, Technology Service Center, IRC, Food Production Center and Operations Service Center.

​Hello Seniors-
 
Every year the Olathe School District compiles scholarship information for each Senior class.  For the past few years we have had exceptional scholarship numbers-as much as 18.1 million. We would love for the Class of 2020 to beat the Class of 2019 numbers and also the other four high schools in the district!  Please place all offered scholarships on the provided link below.   We need everyone to contribute.  Let’s get going Class of 2020! 
 
Below you will see a link to a google form where you can share every scholarship you have received.  Whether it is from a college or university, or a local scholarship from an area business it all counts.  Remember you can add any scholarship you have been offered.  So if you have been accepted at multiple schools and have been offered scholarships at each you can record them all.
 
If you are joining or have joined the military, please email me (cnparazin@olatheschools.org).  Your service counts as a scholarship as well! 
 
Please remember that all loans do not count as scholarships.  They should not be included in your scholarship recording.

Thank you for helping us carry on this Eagle tradition!

Parents,
 
As a district, we are trying to find out how many of our students do not have internet or computer access at home. We are asking all parents to fill out the survey below between June 1 and 5. The survey is available in both English and Spanish. Parents can select espanol from the dropdown menu in the upper right-hand corner of the form.
 
Thank you for your help in taking this survey.
 
Padres,
 
Como distrito estamos tratando de saber cuántos de nuestros estudiantes no tienen acceso al internet o a computadora en sus hogares. Es por ello que les estamos solicitando a todos los padres que completen la encuesta de abajo entre el 1ro y el 5 de junio. Dicha encuesta está disponible tanto en inglés como en español. Bajando la pestaña del menú que se encuentra en la parte superior derecha, ustedes pueden cambiar el idioma a español.
 
Gracias por la ayuda que nos brindan respondiendo a la encuesta.

Seniors, we hope that you are doing well and finishing up on any last things that you might still be working on to raise your grade in classes that you need for graduation.  Please reach out to your counselor if you have any issues with credits or classes at this point.
 
One of the final things that the district needs you to do is to complete the senior survey.  The link to the survey is located on the attached documents.  You can complete this survey on your phone or on a computer, you will need to know your student number to begin the survey.  We always look for our seniors to give the district honest feedback about your time in the Olathe School District and at Olathe North.  Thank you for taking a few minutes to complete this important task!!  For more information on the survey, click the video link below.
