Student/Parent/Teacher Rights and Responsibilities of Learning

At Olympic View Elementary we believe that a strong working relationship between home and school is critical to the success of each student. We want to work with parents and guardians as partners. On the first day of school your child will bring home a two-part form outlining student, parent/guardian, and teacher rights and responsibilities for learning. Please review it with your child, sign it and return it to your child's teacher who will then sign it and return the yellow copy to you. This form documents your commitment to working collaboratively with our school to provide your child with a high quality educational environment.

•  Respecting and cooperating with all adults and children in the school;
•  Coming to class on time prepared to work;
