At Olympia, we want to create a space where our teachers can thrive.
One way we work towards doing this is through our teacher mentoring programs. Our teacher mentors are trained to provide quality support to the new teachers in our district while also encouraging them to develop their unique teacher presence. We are grateful for our amazing group of teacher mentors here at Oly!
Families, please take a few minutes to complete the parent survey for parent engagement topics. We will communicate the top 3 topics and plan events around the results. Thank you for your input! https://forms.gle/of8TaF3D2ZY6BcnS6
Families as school starts back up remember to make attendance a priority!
First graders were being scientists today and recording observations in the butterfly garden. They were excited to share their observations!
Last week Olympia North students kicked off SEL Boot Camp by sharing their DNA (dreams, needs, and abilities) with their teachers. This week students will be focusing on Zones of Regulation to help them identify and name their feelings. We do our best learning in the green zone, so later this week students will create a coping tool box to help them stay in the green zone!
Can you find a set? Fourth graders worked in groups to find 3 cards that were the same or different in shape, color, number and background. Then they had to explain their reasoning.
The team that is showing up every day and making all the magic happen! Our students truly have the best teachers! It was a great week to be a Spartan!
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.

Now is the time to make your students back to school physicals, dental exams and vision exams. All students entering Pre- K for the first time will need a physical and vaccine record. Students entering Kindergarten will need a physical, vaccines, dental and vision exam. Students entering Second grade will need a dental exam. If your student is going to OMS next year, they will need a physical, vaccines, dental and vision exam. It has been a great year! I can't wait to see everyone in August. Have a great summer!
