Principal's Corner
There is a lot going on in Falcon Nation this week and next!
Our girls and boy wrestling teams are off at the state tournament this week and our basketball teams will be entering sub state next week. If you have a chance, get out and see any of these exciting post-season matchups.
Also, we are hosting our spring sweetheart dance this Saturday evening. It will have a carnival theme and will be an entertaining event for our students.
Have a great weekend,
Dale

Attention 10th Grade Parents
The State of Kansas requires students entering 11th grade to have their Meningococcal A vaccines. These are scheduled to be administered at 16-year-old well checks. If a copy has not been provided to the nurse, please send an updated record to vlreaves@olatheschools.org
Immunization needed:
Meningococcal (A,C,W,Y): Two doses are required for adolescents. The first dose was required after age 11. The second dose is required for 11th grade students who are age 16+ to complete the two-dose series.
