Olive Vista MS & STEAM Magnet

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.

All parents are asked to DROP OFF students in the morning at the Borden gate, near our auditorium. Students should be dropped off no later than 8:15 am to ensure students make it to class on time.

Dismissal Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday is at 3:16 pm

Dismissal Tuesday is at 2:15 pm

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. Please be sure that your child arrives to school by 8:10 to ensure they have time to make it to school on time. Our first class of the day will begin at 8:25 am and dismissal will be at 3:16 pm.

This year we have added a few additional shortened days for students starting with Friday, September 13th when students will be dismissed at 2:15 pm. A schedule with all important dates will be home in the first day of school packet in the white envelope given to students on Monday the 12th.
