Olympia School District

The community is invited to comment on the next step of the school district’s Strategic Planning process.

As we enter the second half of the state legislative session, I am deeply disappointed to report that we have not seen lawmakers propose and support the kind of clear-cut financial resolutions to adequately address our projected $8.5 million budget deficit for the 2019-20 school year.

In this most recent edition of Spotlight on Success; Cristy Havens selected as Elementary Educator of the Year, Board recognizes Teachers of the Year and National Board Certified Teachers, Hansen ES student's "Green Monster" art wins international competition, College Bound Scholarship Program opportunity for low-income families and much more!

Monday, March 25 is our next Building Blocks for Success event: From Families to Friendships. Building Blocks for Success is a series of events promoting kindergarten readiness in the community.

Congratulations to this year's Olympia School District Teachers of the Year.

Olympia School District's Developmental Preschool Program is seeking non-disabled peers for the 2019-20 classes that start this fall.

As preparation for the upcoming school year, the Superintendent and Board of Directors seek community, staff, parent and student input on the Olympia School District budget development. Due to recent changes in the state school funding system, the district is projected to face a deficit in the 2019-20 school year. We are hopeful that the state Legislature will address some or all of the causes, and the district may not face a deficit. Regardless, we seek community, staff and student input on instructional and operational priorities and values.
