Freshman Families Welcome to Olathe North

Dear Class of 2022,

Welcome to Olathe North High School.  We are excited for you to join Eagle Nation and the start of another great school year.  Hopefully you received the email I sent yesterday pertaining to registration.  If not it is listed on my blog www.jasonhermanon.weebly.com/newsletter/registration-information 

That leads me to my first point.  The majority of the communication from Olathe North comes through our Blackboard email system or on my blog page.  Please favorite www.jasonhermanon.weebly.com   This website will take you to my blog home page.  From there you click the menu button on the top left of the page and can go to the newsletter, fundraisers and student recognition pages.  Most of the information will be on the newsletter page. (You are currently on the newsletter page).

Here are some commonly asked questions about the start of school along with registration.   

If I already enrolled on ParentVUE and paid fees on MyPaymentsPlus do I need attend Registration at Olathe North on July 26th? 
-If you registered and paid fees online you do not need to come to ON on July 26th.

When will my student receive their student ID?
-Student ID's will be distributed to all students on Aug 20th when the students take school pictures.  (More information to follow on school pictures)

​When will my student receive the PE uniform that I paid for online?
-All PE uniforms will be distributed to the students during their PE hour during the first week of school.

How will my student eat school lunch without a student ID?
-To receive school lunch your student needs to know their student Id or first and last name.

When will my student receive their locker and locker combination?
-Lockers will be given to all freshman.  Their locker number and combination will be located on the printed schedule that will be handed to them in their advisory on the first full day of school on Thursday 8/16.   

What do my students need to bring on the first 1/2 day on Aug 15th?
-Freshman students do not need to bring any items with them on Aug 15th.  This is our LINK Crew day and students will be involved in team building and school tours. 

When can my student visit ON to walk their schedule?
-Freshman can walk their schedule from July 31th-Aug 14th.  Our building is open for you to visit. 

My freshman is older why can't I order a parking pass online?
-Olathe North has limited parking spots on campus, we only allow upper clansmen to pay for parking online.  Any freshman that has a restricted driver license can request a spot through the front office and will be placed on a waiting list.  

After we receive our schedule when can we schedule an appointment for a schedule change?
-All schedule change requests can be made through email request to the alpha counselor.  If request cannot be completed over email the counselor will contact the student or family.  See the ONHS website and visit the counseling tab for more detailed information.

My freshman student is interested in playing a Fall Sport.  What do they need to do? 
-Football, Volleyball, Girl's Golf, Men's Soccer, Gymnastics, and Cross Country are fall sports. Please go to the athletic page on the Olathe North website to contact a coach.  Some of our sports have already been preparing.  All freshman are welcome to come out on Aug 16th as long as they have physical form and concussion form completed. 

What does Aug 15th look like for my student?
-Wednesday, August 15th, all freshman are to report to the North Commons before 8:00am.  Freshman do not need to bring anything to school with them that day. Students will eat lunch. If your student wants to bring their own lunch, they are welcome to do that.   Students will be released at 12:15.  Buses will run normal pick up times in the morning and will leave Olathe North at 12:22.  Please make sure your student knows what bus they ride by number.  That evening all Olathe North freshman and parents are invited to our annual "Welcome to the Eagles Nest Night".  A post card will be mailed home with this information.  The freshman will have a 9th grade only mixer in the Auxiliary gym from 6:30-8:00.  There will be an informative parent meeting in the Auditorium, with yours truly, from 6:45-7:15.  Then parents will breakout to meet your student's alpha administrator and counselor.  Both events will conclude at 8:00pm.
