Olive Vista MS & STEAM Magnet

This week, Olive Vista students were able to cool down at an outdoor cooling station thanks to LAUSD provided misting fans. To also keep everyone safe in the heat, OV provided water refilling stations during lunch to give students opportunities to refill bottles throughout the week. Finally, to celebrate making it to the end of the week in a heatwave, we celebrated with mini sno-cones / raspados for everyone! We will continue water refill stations through Tuesday as we expect temperatures to get back to normal starting Wednesday.

Students will be dismissed at 2:15 pm on Friday, 9/13.

Consider the following:

1. Wear comfortable clothing that is breathable, light colored, lightweight and loose.
2. Apply sunscreen and wear proper clothing and hats to prevent sunburn for times when students may be outside, such as if they walk to or from school.
3. Drink lots of water to prevent dehydration and bring liquids and snacks as appropriate. Water containers should not be shared between students and students may not consume food or drink while riding on District buses. (Water filling stations are provided to students at lunch time - they must have their own bottle)
4. If your student has any underlying health conditions exacerbated by heat, inform the school nurse or classroom teacher.
5. Symptoms of heat related illness, such as fatigue, fainting, dehydration, thirst, or muscle cramps should be reported to a teacher immediately.

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.
