Congratulations to our students who participate in choir, band, or orchestra. The concerts they put on the last two weeks were exceptional. And congratulations to our music teachers as well.

Our teaching staff continues to engage in professional learning around differentiation, so that we grow in providing students what they need, whether that be remediation or extension learning opportunities.

The Greece Education Foundation gifted Olympia a check to support with any instructional needs, as a way to thank the staff for donating the highest amount per pay period to the GEF fund.

Quarter 2 Progress grades will be accessible via Infinite Campus Parent Portal on Friday, December 20th at 3pm.

The deadline for yearbook submissions are approaching.

• Senior pictures are due by December 20th
• Baby/Childhood pictures and messages are also due December 20th

You can find directions on your child's grade level Google Classroom under the "classwork" section, then look for the "Yearbook" heading.

If your student is interested in Cast, Crew or Pit Orchestra, we are hosting a MANDATORY Parent Meeting prior to our auditions. The purpose of this meeting is to make sure students and families are aware of the time commitment, academic requirements, and behavioral needs of the program. We have two offerings, an in-person meeting and a virtual meeting. We also have a website that has all of our information. If you have any questions or concerns please see our Website.
