Senior Scholarship Information
Every year the Olathe School District compiles scholarship information for the Senior class. For the past few years we have had exceptional scholarship numbers - as much as 18.1 million. We would love for the class of 2020 to beat the class of 2019 and the other four high schools in the district! Please place all offered scholarships in the provided link below. We need everyone to contribute, and we've only had 68 seniors share their information. Let’s get going Class of 2020!
Below you will see a link to a google form where you can share every scholarship you have received. Whether it is from a college or university, or a local scholarship from an area business it all counts. Remember, you can add any scholarship you have been offered. So if you have been accepted at multiple schools and have been offered scholarships at each, you can record them all.
If you are joining or have joined the military, please email Mrs. Parazin: cnparazin@olatheschools.org. Your service counts as a scholarship as well!
Please remember that all loans do not count as scholarships. They should not be included in your scholarship recording.
Please record all scholarships here: https://forms.gle/AarwF5ihKB2sY1Q69.
Thank you for helping us carry on this Eagle tradition!
Olathe North Summer School
Olathe North will be hosting Credit Recovery Summer School again this summer. This opportunity is for students who need to recover a class that they did not pass in their previous years of high school. If you are interested in this opportunity, contact your counselor.

INFORMATION BELOW IS REPEATED BUT STILL IMPORTANT
Continuous Learning
Continuous learning opportunities are available for each grade level and content area. Step-by-step instructions lead online learners through grade level or course specific continuous learning opportunities. Weekly content will be released on Sundays at 5:00pm.
Students who are off-screen learners will be provided paper packets with new content each week to continue learning. These packets are available on Mondays only at all food distribution sites from 11am to 12:30pm.
District technology support is available from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Technology will be providing support via email. Parents can email our Help Desk helpdesk@olatheschools.org for district related technology support.
Teachers and principals will be available to answer questions related to continuous learning and will respond within 24 hours (Monday through Friday). For questions related to Continuous Learning, please contact your teacher or principal.
Food Distribution
The food distribution site is open on Mondays and Wednesdays. Two breakfasts and two lunches will be distributed to each child on Mondays and three breakfasts and three lunches will be distributed to each child on Wednesdays.
These meal packs will be provided for students 18 and under from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays at the following sites:
- Central, 305 E. Cedar Street
- Fairview, 600 N. Marion

- Ridgeview, 1201 E. Elm Street
- Rolling Ridge, 1500 W. Elm Terrace
- Washington, 1202 N. Ridgeview Road
- Westview, 500 S. Troost Street
Children must be present to pick up a meal. This will be set up as a drive thru site as they have been in the past; however, we ask that families pull forward and open their trunk so that staff members can place meals into the trunk. This will further limit person-to-person contact as an additional precaution to keep families and staff members safe.
Tele-Counseling
The Olathe Public Schools is pleased to offer tele-counseling from your school’s mental health providers as a part of the continuous education services being provided through May 22, 2020. All counseling sessions will be virtual through a platform called Zoom. Zoom is HIPAA and FERPA-compliant. All providers will be in a room in their house that is away from all other family members, providing confidentiality between them and your student. School mental health providers who may have been seeing your student prior to Spring Break may be in contact with you about continuing services.
If you would like your student to speak with a mental health professional, feel free to contact them at the emails listed below. Prior to receiving tele-counseling, all parents must provide consent. Consent may be given at: https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=f8IlL4QKYEmIamhcur6jq2k5r480o9NDn6CS5KDbFwpUM1dUNDUwV0NWRktVTDY4WUI1NFU0WE9KNy4u
