Due to extreme cold wind chills that are forecasted for tomorrow morning and the high likelihood of blowing and drifting snow tonight, Olympia schools will not be in session tomorrow, Monday Jan. 26. We will be utilizing a traditional snow day, so this day will be added on to the end of the year. We will make a decision about OMS and OHS activities and athletics by noon on Monday.
