We're excited to share the latest happenings and updates from our school community to keep you informed and engaged.

If you have any questions, please reach out to our office manager, Jamie Wright. You can reach her at WrightJL@mukilteo.wednet.edu.

Mondays-Thursdays: 8:05am-2:45pm

Breakfast and lunch are free for all students this year. Our cafeteria opens at 7:35am for breakfast. CLICK HERE for the bell schedule to see the lunch times (separated by grade levels).

Please check out OV's homepage throughout the year for important information including our staff directory.

Need to contact a teacher or other staff member? Go to "Our School" and click on "Olympic View Middle School: Staff Directory." Families can also message staff through ParentSquare.

All of our students will receive a student planner on the first day of school. If a student loses their planner, the replacement cost is $4.00.

Students should use their planners to keep track of homework, assignment due dates, tests and other important items.

Students should also review the student handbook section at the beginning of the handbook. This section of the planner goes over all of the school rules and important info about OV.

All Olympic View parents and guardians are invited to join us for Curriculum Night tomorrow (10/7), starting at 6:00pm in the OV gym.

The evening will begin with a special welcome from our principal and PTO (Parent Teacher Organization) in the gym. Afterward, parents and guardians will follow a shortened version of their student’s schedule—visiting each class period for 10 minutes.

This is a great opportunity to meet your student’s teachers and counselors while getting a glimpse of their school day. Hope to see you there!

NOTE: This event is for parents/guardians only. OV students may attend only if they are officially assisting their family with translation.

Our school fundraiser is so close to reaching our $35,000 goal and we need your help to get there! Every dollar supports music, art, extracurricular activities, sports, and our Pirate Pride Store.

The easiest way to help? Share the fundraiser link on social media! A quick post makes a big difference and helps us finish strong. Thank you for supporting our Pirates! 🏴‍☠️💚 https://app.verticalraise.com/fundraiser/olympic-view-2025-popcorn-fundraiser/c/1446936/

The Mukilteo School District uses these three tools to help families communicate with the school, keep track of assignments and missing work, monitor grades and progress and to check attendance. See the info below to make sure you are using all three of these important tools!

Contact the OV office at (425) 366-5200 or see our office manager, Jamie Wright, at tomorrow's Curriculum Night if you need further assistance. (See attached documents for more information about each of these tools and how best to use them.)

Our school is participating in the Washington State Healthy Youth Survey during fall 2025. The survey will be given to students in Grades 6, 8, 10 and 12 in the Mukilteo School District. Our 6th and 8th graders will be taking the survey in their PE classes on Monday, October 13th.

The Healthy Youth Survey includes questions related to physical activity, unintentional and intentional injury, substance use, interpersonal relationships, school experiences, risk and protective factors, and access to school-based services.

Survey results are used by schools, communities, and State agencies to plan programs to support our youth and reduce their risks. Participation in the survey is voluntary and steps are taken to ensure student privacy. There are no names or codes used to link a survey back to a student.

Please read the attached Information for Parents/Guardians and Youth Letter for more information about the Healthy Youth Survey.

Our staff have been noticing more students bringing energy drinks to school. Energy drinks are not allowed at school because they contain very high amounts of caffeine, sugar, and other stimulants that can be harmful to your child's health-especially for growing kids and teens. 

Drinking energy drinks can cause problems like a fast heartbeat, high blood pressure, anxiety, trouble sleeping, headaches, and even more serious issues like dehydration or seizures. The American Academy of Pediatrics and other health experts say that energy drinks are not safe for children and teenagers, and recommend avoiding them entirely.

Instead of energy drinks, encourage your student to choose healthy options like water, milk, or 100% juice to stay hydrated and energized throughout the school day.

Remember, your child's body and brain are still growing, and making healthy choices now will help your student feel his/her best!

Books checked out from the OV library have a 14-day loan period. Students should return or renew books every two weeks. For convenience, each student visits the library with their ELA class every other week. Today, overdue notices were delivered to students in their 1st period classes—please ask your student if they received one. Students can also check their library accounts online (see how-to video). If your student needs to renew a book, they can message Mrs. Peterson or Mrs. Jensen in Schoology.

LEARNING LABS is open after school from 2:45-4pm in C143 (PE Health classroom) on Mondays through Thursdays.

ELECT TO LEARN is open after school from 2:45-4pm in A214 on Mondays through Thursdays.

Both of these options are quiet study places to get help with homework or to read a book. No cell phones or computer gaming is allowed.

ACTIVITY BUS: Students attending these supervised activities can ride the activity bus home as long as they live in our bus boundaries.

OV PTO sponsors many events throughout the school year!! CLICK HERE to see all of our planned events.

Pass the Hat is PTO’s one and only fundraiser (not to be confused with ASB’s popcorn fundraiser) during tomorrow's school Curriculum Night at 6pm. All the funds raised during “Pass the Hat” supports OV staff grants and PTO events like Bingo and Teen Late Nights. QR codes will be handed out as you enter the gym for online donations; cash/check donations will be collected during your 3rd period class.

To donate ahead of time, please go to https://bit.ly/ovptogive and thank you for supporting the work done at OV and please give generously.

Come learn about PTO activities and how you can help – don’t worry, we aren’t going to nominate you to volunteer at our first General Meeting of the school year! Plus, we will always raffle off two sets of $5 Snacks Ahoy bucks for your student to use. Join the meeting next Monday.

Students can grab a FREE Bingo board and FREE ice cream sundae for PTO's first after school event on Tuesday, October 14th after school from 2:45-4:05pm.

Gift card prizes for bingo winners such as Jersey Mike's, Crumbl cookies, Emerald City Smoothies, Dairy Queen, and Chick-fil-a. Snacks available for purchase $1-$2 and extra Bingo boards for $2. Sign up to volunteer. 

Students must provide their own transportation home as the activity bus is only for academic enrichment and/or school clubs per district policy.
