Olive Vista MS & STEAM Magnet

Hello Olive Vista family. It is hard to believe that we have already completed our second week of school. This week, students were issued their textbooks and we were able to give each student an Olive Vista shirt that they are able to wear on Fridays, our spirit day.

You are invited to participate in are English Language Advisory Counsel (ELAC) and our School Site Council (SSC). We are meeting next week. Please see more information below.

You can access our school calendar with events and activities on our website at https://olivevistams.lausd.org/ I invite you check it regularly to be up to date on all things Olive Vista. I look forward to a great year!

Sincerely,

Ms. Herran, Principal

Two gates are open for dismissal. Please plan ahead with your child which gate you would like them to exit. We will open Tyler Street gate at the front of the school or Borden St gate next to the auditorium.

Cones will be set up along Borden street for drop off in the morning. Please ask your child to use the crosswalk if crossing the street, for everyone's safety drop your child off on the school side of the street.

If your child needs to remain at school longer than 20 minutes waiting for pick up, please sign your child up for the after school program!

Per LAUSD policy, students are expected to be in school 96% of the the school year and should not miss more than seven (7) days of school for the ENTIRE year.
