Olathe South High School
Principal's Corner
Happy Friday Falcons!
We have made it through a wild 3rd quarter! With all the snow days, parades, and activities going on during 3rd quarter, we are very proud of how our teachers, staff, and students managed to still engage in high level learning around each of the 3rd quarter standards. In fact, our Falcons have worked so hard during their first three quarters that they have completed 1581 hours of college credit, saving them around $253,859 in post-secondary spending!
This week our Lady Falcons went to state to compete for the championship in basketball. We wish them luck as they represent the Southside! We hope everyone enjoys a beautiful and safe spring break, and we look forward to what looks to be a fantastic 4th quarter.
Go Falcons,
Dr. DeMaree

4th Quarter Schedule
As a reminder, in response to the amount of snow days we had this year, 4th quarter schedules will begin at 7:50, or 8:05 on Thursdays. 1st hour will begin promptly at 7:50, so we want to encourage all students to be on time. There are no changes to the bus schedule or access to breakfast before classes begin.
State Assessment
State Assessment season is quickly approaching. This year, to limit disruptions to instruction, we will be administering the state assessments during advisory. Below is list of dates students will be completing the state assessment.

Thank you for your support as we take time to demonstrate how brilliant our Falcons are.
