Dear Families of Olympus Jr. High School:

Dear Families of Olympus Jr. High School:

On behalf of the entire Olympus Junior High School staff, we want to welcome you to the Spartan Family!  

 

All of us at Olympus look forward to providing a rich learning experience for your child both in and out of the classroom.  We have a tremendous number of opportunities for our students to explore and grow into productive young adults.  We have a number of after-school sports and clubs available for students.  There are so many ways for our students to feel connected and involved in school.  School involvement = Academic Success!

 

Our teachers have a strong focus on providing rigorous instruction - challenging our students at a high level and providing support to students that need it.  Along with our high academic standards, we work very hard to help our students with the social and emotional aspects of their lives.   Our student-centered approach has helped us develop a positive school culture where students feel safe, respected, involved, and taken care of.  As I like to put it, we treat our students as human beings, not just humans doing...

 

Olympus Jr. High and many schools throughout the area are continuing their work with EQ Schools to continue our work integrating Mindfulness, Emotional Intelligence, Positive Psychology, and Emotional Regulation into our classrooms.  We accomplish this through supporting teachers' well-being, providing them with concrete and practical tools, and creating a space for connection and collaboration.  Our Counselor, Mrs. Fowler, continues to be available for all students and has been instrumental in bringing mental health education to our classrooms. Olympus is proud to lead the way in this very important, but often overlooked, area of education.

 

Many of our teachers have dedicated time throughout the summer to build or capacity to offer new STEM enrichment courses through Project Lead the Way (PLTW).  In addition to our current Robotics and Automation, 3D Modeling, and Forensics courses we will have teachers certified in Energy and the Environment, Coding, and Flight and Space.  These dedicated teachers spent countless hours completing online certification courses and traveling throughout the country to attend training sessions.   

Olympus (and other schools throughout the Eureka Union School District) will continue their 1-to-1 Chromebook Program that started in the 2020-21 school year.  Each of our students will be using a district-issued Chromebook both at school and at home to access important curriculum materials, connect to their teachers through Google Classroom, and access their school-issued Google accounts. 

Our school website should be your primary source of information for everything at Olympus.  Specifically, on the Olympus website, our Events Calendar will help you stay up to date with the latest events going on at Olympus.  Our teachers are rolling out brand new websites to better communicate what is happening in their classrooms.  Our students are maximizing their use of Google Apps to efficiently collaborate with their teachers and classmates and manage their work electronically.  We are rolling out a plan to have all homework and classwork assignments "pushed" into student Google calendars - eliminating the outdated paper planner.
