Students, family and friends welcome to my website. I teach World Studies/Life Skills, U.S. History and Broadcasting at Half Moon Bay High School and additionally moonlight on the side as a radio play-by-play announcer. 2017-18 is my 16th year teaching at Half Moon Bay School and I'm looking forward to getting to know the class of 2021.
My "place on the net" provides students and parents with updates on homework assignments and provides a page with many research links for student use. Most key assignments are posted as links to the left of the page. Students and parents can access these from home as needed. All homework is posted on School Loop. School Loop should be used for staying in touch with regards to grades and daily homework.
This web site should be utilized by students and parents to access all bigger assignments and web quests that are done in class. All projects and computer assignments are found on this web site along with rubrics and detailed instructions. Just scan through the links listed to the left of the page.
There also is other information found on the web site, as an example - background information on my radio career is also a feature. Click on the 'Mr. Olson on the Radio' link.
Click on any one of the page links to find more information about assignments, research links, standards and my career in sports broadcasting.
Parents and students can e-mail me at:
olsonp@cabrillo.k12.ca.us
E-mail is the best way to reach me. I will usually respond to e-mail within 24 hours. I have also provided a link to the high school's main page where you can find the e-mail addresses for department heads and school administrators.
