Signing up for accounts on the web can be as simple as clicking one button. But if that website or service does not have a written data privacy agreement with Olympia, you may be giving away your personal information with a single click! Parents, talk to your kids about where they have created accounts. Remind them that the Student Acceptable Use Policy for Olympia states that they will not create an account with their district email address unless directed to do so by a teacher. By working together as a community we can drastically reduce the amount of data that we unnecessarily share with companies who look to sell that data to advertisers. #StrongerTogether

OMS had the opportunity to team up with OHS for our first annual “The Great Spartan Changeover: 8th Grade Transition Day''. The 8th graders visited OHS classrooms, played a Kahoot where they got to know OHS Teachers/Staff, competed in a scavenger hunt, participated in an activity with OHS student leaders, learned about how they can experience success in high school, and went on a tour of the school. Thank you to everyone who helped make this transition experience meaningful for our students!
Rewarding Relationships
Video Link: bit.ly/olyRCv2
"It's complicated" can describe many of our relationships with others, both romantic and otherwise. Add digital devices and social media to the mix, and things get complicated even further. Help students take the first step toward building healthy and rewarding friendships and romantic relationships, both online and off.
Students listen to other teens' thoughts and feelings about having and maintaining boundaries in friendships online, in a world of being constantly connected.
