Built in 1962 with classrooms more spacious than current building codes demand, the school now accommodates a cultural and economic diversity truly representative of America. Olympic View families value this asset and believe our advantageous setting is vital in promoting world class skills for all our students. Staff also shares in this belief and promotes the value of each child s unique and positive contribution to the school climate. We are a friendly school with a staff eager to welcome families into the Olympic View learning team. Our Welcome Room is designed to make the transition into our school relaxed and comfortable.
Strong emphasis is placed on the basic skills of reading, writing, and math.
On a daily basis, each student learns with others of similar reading ability in small groups for an hour and half of reading instruction. Extra time is spent in one to one tutoring with students who are failing to keep up with classmates in reading. Writing with precision and clarity of thought has been a major focus the past few years and will continue to be an emphasis. Staff is also exploring the use of the Saxon Math program to improve the math skills of all students. Parent and community input are essential to ensure appropriate direction and focus.
