Olympia School District is offering the opportunity for families to update their student's information online this year. Each year, schools send home packets of paper for families to complete and return. On Monday, September 28, 2020, these annual forms were available to be completed in Skyward Family Access.

Please watch the video message (below) from Superintendent Patrick Murphy, who announces a hold on the expansion of in-person learning in the Olympia School District.

The Olympia School District started the 2020-21 school year with a 100% distance learning model, with plans for a leveled approach to in-person learning.

Governor Jay Inslee and the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) announced new guidance that we have been waiting for to move forward with allowing our students to resume extracurricular activities, including training and workouts, while adhering to established health and safety requirements.

In our most recent edition of Spotlight on Success; First Day of School 2020: Distance Learning Edition, Current Learning Model Status Update, Intercity Transit Youth Walk Challenge, How to Update Student Information Online, School board changes meeting dates starting Oct. 8, and much more!

The Olympia School Board voted on September 14 to move regular board meetings to the second and fourth Thursday of each month beginning on October 8, 2020. ​ Regular board meeting start times will remain at 6:30 p.m. online via Zoom until further notice. Information on how to join the meeting, including the Zoom link, is posted on the district website at least 24 hours before the meeting. All meetings are recorded with live captioning. Video recordings are posted on the district website several days after each meeting.

Students may pick up free grab-and-go lunch, and if desired breakfast for the following day, at school district meal distribution sites starting on the first day of school Wednesday, September 9.

Thurston County residents may register to vote online, by mail or in person for the November 3, 2020 General Election. While there are no Olympia School District measures or candidates on the November election ballot, our district regularly shares election information with the community, including how to register to vote. Election ballots are scheduled to be mailed on October 8.

The City of Olympia and Olympia School District have partnered to provide $100,000 in funding for a new Child Care Relief Program. This program will provide registration relief for qualifying parents and families seeking local child care services.
