Greetings parents and students,

Lake Olympia's Counseling team would like to welcome you all back for this 2025-2026 school year. We look forward to partnering with all of you to create success!

Please check our website monthly for counseling news as well as our Core Value update.

Schedule Changes

OPENS: August 13, 2025

DEADLINE: August 22, 2025

To maintain balanced class sizes and minimize disruptions, schedule changes will only be made for the following reasons via the Schedule Correction Request Form:
A student is enrolled in a class they have already completed.

A student is placed in the wrong gender-specific PE/Athletics class.

A student lacks the prerequisites for a class (e.g., enrolled in Art II without completing Art I).
To request a schedule correction, please email your grade-level counselor. Schedule change forms will also be available in the counselor's office on 8/13. The deadline for all schedule corrections is nine days after the start of each semester.

We cannot accommodate requests for specific teachers, class periods, lunch preferences, or preferred semesters.

2025 Core Values

We will begin school with August's core value, which is not one but "The Big 3"! This month we will focus on treating others right, making smart decisions, and maximizing our potential.

Self-Care

Please remember that you must take care of yourself in order to be an asset to yourself and others. Self-Care can help promote positive feelings, which can help with self-confidence and self-esteem. We challenge you and members of your family to complete at least one self-care activity daily. Self-care is essential!

Self-Care Ideas:
- Take a walk
- Listen to music
- Write or draw
- Do something you love that makes you happy
