Assistant Principal
It is an honor to be part of the Olive Middle School family and serve as Assistant Principal! After serving at the elementary school level for over 15 years, I have learned that middle school is a crucial period in a student's life, especially as they navigate various changes and transitions. It is a time when students begin to discover their interests, strengths, and talents. By fostering an atmosphere that encourages exploration and growth, Olive Middle School can help students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
At OMS, we set high expectations for all students, both behaviorally and academically, which help create a culture of pride and excellence. The behavioral expectations of being respectful, responsible, and prepared align with our school's goal of promoting academic, social, and emotional success. These guidelines not only provide a framework for student behavior but also cultivate a positive and respectful school culture.
As your child transitions to middle school, parental involvement and support continue to play a vital role in their middle school journey. By staying actively engaged in your child's education, parents can help create a strong foundation for success. Collaboration between parents, educators,and the school community is key to creating an environment where students can thrive both inside and outside the classroom.
While middle school is a time of transition and increased independence, they still need structure and balance from all areas of their lives. Together we can create a positive middle school experience for your child. I look forward to serving our returning and incoming Lancers!
Respectfully,
Gladys Garcia
