Families as school starts back up remember to make attendance a priority!
First graders in Mrs. Gray’s class began talking about doing hard things and the learning pit. When presented with two paths, the firsties unanimously chose the “hard” path. Sawyer said it’s fun to climb, and Stewart said that bumpy is fun! As a class, we talked about how our learning can be bumpy when things are challenging, but we can continue to climb! We are ready for a fun yet challenging year in first grade!!
Welcoming families back, teachers learning and first day fun! Welcome back Oly South. Looking forward to a great year!!
Olympia's food service staff spent time together preparing for the new school year. Our department is ready to take on the challenges unique to food service. Our goal as always is to provide outstanding service and high quality meals that meet or exceed the latest federal and state requirements. New this year will be plant based lunch entrée options that are available to order by staff and students at the OHSMS and by parents for elementary students. Look for the QR code included on lunch menus. We are also excited to share that we will be able to continue for this year to offer reimbursable breakfast meals free of charge to all Olympia Students. Reimbursable lunch meals will return as charges to family accounts. The application for free and reduce meals may be found on the Olympia Website/Parents/Paper Forms/Food Service.
As the school year approaches, Spartan staff has been hard at work getting ready to welcome back students. This energetic group of educators spent their afternoon preparing to provide each and every student a warm welcome into the new year.

Current Olympia 5th graders from all three buildings visited OMS to better understand what to expect in middle school. The class of 2029 went on a tour of the building, visited 6th grade classrooms, and had an opportunity to meet with OMS student leaders to learn about life at OMS. We are excited to welcome these students in August!
Third graders at South had a blast reviewing math skills on their “Glow What You Know” Day.
