Free grab-and-go sack lunches, as well as breakfast for the following day, will be available at selected school and community sites starting on the last day of school Tuesday, June 22, 2021.

Please tune in for a live Zoom session to have your questions answered and learn more about the Virtual Academy of Olympia and whether it might be the right fit for your student. If you need translation services, please email help-vao@osd.wednet.edu at least 48 hours prior to the meeting so we can arrange for a translator.

The first day of school for students during the 2021-22 school year is Wednesday, September 8, 2021. Kindergarten and Preschool begins on Monday, September 13, 2021. The first day of school can be both exciting and stressful. We have put together a few resources that will make it easier for our students and parents to get the school year off to a great start! Below you will find links to resources like school supplies, bus routes, new student registration and more.

Students can learn about traffic safety and street design this summer while walking or riding their bikes on a small-scale version of the city’s street system that will be painted with chalk at two elementary schools.

Follow this link to enroll your student online for the 2021-22 school year. ​ If you live outside of the Olympia School District, please do not attempt to register your student using the New Student Online enrollment process. Instead, please visit our OSD Transfers webpage or call the district office:

The district welcomes questions and comments from students, staff, parents and community members on new bell times planned for the 2021-22 school year. The new bell schedule was presented and discussed at the May 27 Olympia School Board meeting (Proposed start and end times are listed below by school). Plans are to implement the new school start and end times when school opens in September.

The Olympia School District Board of Directors has approved the school year calendar for the 2021-22 school year.

Providing a safe learning environment is our number one priority. The Olympia School District is working closely with the Thurston County Department of Health and monitoring reports of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19). The OSD also follows the Washington State Department of Health Decision Tree in our response.
