Big congratulations to Shelby Finchum and Casey Wissmiller for representing the Spartans at the Sectional 3 Point Contest at IVC this evening!!
Families & Students,
Due to the impending forecast that includes ice in the early morning and
heavy snowfall tomorrow afternoon, Olympia students will be doing remote
learning tomorrow, Thursday, February 17th. Elementary students will work
on the materials that have been sent home by their teachers. Middle school
and high school students should login to Google classroom tomorrow to
complete their work and / or participate in meetings with their teachers.
We realize there may be minor fluctuations in the weather but at this
point it appears as if our morning commute and our afternoon commute would
both be negatively impacted by weather. We will make an announcement
tomorrow regarding Thursday after school activities / practices.
As a reminder, students DO NOT have school on Friday, February 18th due to
a Teacher Institute Day. Monday, February 21st is a school holiday as well.
We will see students back in our buildings on Tuesday, February 22, 2022.
