Message from the Superintendent
It seems like each week over the last year has been more momentous than the last. But, I would say that this week, Feb 1-5, 2021 has been one of special significance in the Olympia School District. Today marks the final day of “Black Lives Matter at School Week” -- a week that has been proclaimed by our school board the past three years, and has been recognized by educators across the country during the first week of February, which is also Black History Month. And in this same week, based on the recommendation of our health officials, for the first time in nearly a year, we welcomed many preschoolers and kindergartners into our school buildings as the first step in our roll-out of in-person hybrid learning for all students.
