With so much media and information coming at us through the television, phones, social media, and more, it's more important than ever for kids to understand the basics of media literacy. When kids can identify different types of news and media and the methods and meanings behind them, they're on their way to being critical thinkers and smart consumers.
Throughout the month, we will be sharing a set of five tips to help your children become critical thinkers of news and media. Here is a short video to get those conversations started!

Due to the impending ice that is projected to arrive in our area during the morning commute, Olympia will not have school today, Monday, January 22nd. We are concerned about our buses and our student drivers getting to school given the ice in the forecast. This will be a traditional snow / ice day - students do not have to do any school work today as we are uncertain about power and internet stability given we are anticipating ice.
We will add this day to the calendar in May. A decision about after school extra-curricular events will be made by early afternoon.
Reminder: Baseball open gyms this week will be Monday, January 22nd at 6pm and Wednesday, January 24th at 7pm. Both will be in the middle school gym.
