Olathe South High School
Principal's Corner
We are preparing this week for our upcoming Parent Teacher Conferences. We have both virtual and in-person parent conference options this year. Our in-person conference evening will be on Wednesday, October 13th from 4:30 to 8:30PM. Teachers have options throughout the week when they can schedule conferences via Zoom. I would encourage you to reach out to your student's teachers and participate in this important component of our partnership to support our students.
Our students have a couple of long weekends coming up. I hope you and your family can find some time to enjoy the great fall weather.
Have a great weekend,
Dale

Sports Physicals and accompanying forms
Sports physicals and accompanying forms are now submitted electronically through InTouch. InTouch is the same system you use to pay registration fees and purchase school items each school year. If you have already submitted a paper physical this year, you do not need to resubmit. Instructions on how to complete the process are attached. If you have any questions or need assistance in the electronic/uploading process, please contact Mrs. Gonzales in the Olathe South front office.
Quick Step Plus College Algebra
Test Day October 13
Test Day at Olathe South is October 13, 2021. This is a half day of school for 9th -11th graders. Seniors are asked to participate in some sort of post-secondary. Seniors are not involved in any testing on this day and should not attend school on this day.
The freshman default test is the PreACT 8/9. This test offers freshmen students
an opportunity to learn about high-stakes assessment. It measures what students have learned in school to this point and what students will need to succeed in college. There is NO cost for this test.
The sophomores and juniors default test is a Practice ACT- Most of our students will need to take the ACT as their entrance exam to get into college. It is recommended that juniors take the ACT in the spring of their junior year. On October 13, most of our sophomores and juniors will have the opportunity to take full-length practice ACT test. This practice will give them a good idea of where they stand so they can better prepare for the ACT in the spring of their junior year. There is NO cost for this test.
Some of our students will be involved in the PSAT, however prior registration was required. The deadline to register for this exam has passed.
