Falcon Friday October 31 2025

As the weather turns colder, we’re coming together to support Falcons and families who could use a little extra help this season. Starting Monday, we’ll be collecting non-perishable food items in the front office and throughout the school. Every can or box makes a difference!

Let’s show what it means to be 100% Giving 100% and keep our Falcon community strong. 💙💛

If your family could benefit from this food drive, please reach out to your students counselor.

We invite you to join us from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 3, at Olathe South High School (1640 E. 151st Street, Olathe) for the District Site Council meeting.

This event offers an important opportunity for all patrons to hear how the district is preparing today’s students—and the next generations—for success in an ever-changing world. As part of our ongoing efforts to engage and inform parents and community members, district administrators will provide insights on several key topics, including:

• A potential 2026 bond issue
• The strategic planning process for 2026-2030
• Possible updates to middle school electives

We encourage all community members to attend and learn more about the planning efforts shaping the future of education in our district. Your participation is valuable as we continue to make decisions that impact students, families and the community. Thank you, and we look forward to seeing you on Nov. 3.

Olathe South High school will be having its hearing day on November 11, 2025. Students in 10th grade and all students who are new to the district will receive a hearing and vision screening. Parents/guardians of students who do not pass their hearing and/or vision screening will be notified by the school nurse.

The Olathe South Mental Health Team will be running the Falcon Train through the school next week to show appreciation for our teachers and staff. If you would like to contribute, please consider sending in some snacks or drinks, or purchasing something from our Amazon wish list.
