The Olympia School District started the 2020-21 school year with a 100% distance learning model, with plans for a leveled approach to in-person learning.

Please watch the video message (below) from Superintendent Patrick Murphy, who announces a hold on the expansion of in-person learning in the Olympia School District.

Olympia School District is offering the opportunity for families to update their student's information online this year. Each year, schools send home packets of paper for families to complete and return. On Monday, September 28, 2020, these annual forms were available to be completed in Skyward Family Access.

Students may pick up free grab-and-go lunch, and if desired breakfast for the following day, at school district meal distribution sites starting on the first day of school Wednesday, September 9.

The City of Olympia and Olympia School District have partnered to provide $100,000 in funding for a new Child Care Relief Program. This program will provide registration relief for qualifying parents and families seeking local child care services.

For now, to support families during this challenging time amidst the COVID-19 outbreak, we have compiled a menu of resources for students and families to access at home during the time schools are closed in Olympia. We have intentionally provided a variety of options, many of which do not require screen time once accessed. This list will expand in the coming weeks.
