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

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.

During a recent family vacation to Alaska, this fourth grader took her learning to the real world. She studied Alaska as part of her state research project and presentation and then became Rose Albert for the Wax Museum. While in Alaska, she had an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet Rose Albert in person. Ms. Albert is the first Alaska Native woman to compete in the Iditarod race, painter and artist.
Thanks to the summer school families that join us for lunch today! It was a nice treat.Atlanta Christian Church, we appreciate your space and help with the meal!
