Olson Outlook
1st Day of School!
1st Day of School Reminders
Our school came alive on Friday when our Mustangs came for Meet the Teacher! We loved seeing students, new, returning, and old and their families get excited about the upcoming school year. Adopt-a-Classroom and Gary Lang Subaru have donated thousands of dollars to Olson Elementary for the second year in a row and I invited them to tour the building to see the students who benefit from their generosity. Wendy from Adopt-a-Classroom and Ed from Gary Lang Subaru commented that they could "feel the energy" and were impressed with all the teachers they talked to as well as the welcoming, clean appearance of the building. Olson appreciates their partnership and enthusiasm for our school.
Here are some important reminders for tomorrow:
Arrival begins at 7:10am. Students will meet their teachers on the blacktop by the playground to line up as a class before entering the building. If students need breakfast, they will still meet their teacher on the blacktop and will be sent down to the cafeteria after everyone gets settled in the building.
There will be plenty of helpful staff members at the drop-off car line in the horseshoe drive in the front of the school as well as the bus line on Hill Street. There is no parking in the horseshoe drive or on Hill Street. If you would like to park your car to walk your child to the blacktop, parking is allowed on Judd Street for tomorrow only. There are also other side streets or the Velocity parking lot. Please drive slowly and carefully!
Bus Riders: Reprinted from the D200 Welcome Back Letter:
It is important to recheck all busing information on August 14, prior to the first day of school. If you have questions or concerns regarding transportation, please contact the Transportation Department at 815-338-4777.
Please follow the steps outlined below to access bus routing information.
1. Go to https://trans.woodstockschools.org.
2. Log in using your Student ID number as your username and password. At the beginning of
each new school year the password will always be the same as the Student ID number. This is the same ID number used by your student for Chromebook log-in. If you need help locating the Student ID number, please contact your school. You will be prompted to change your password the first time you log in.

Dismissal is at 1:50pm or 2:40pm for 2nd-3rd grade students in Everyone Reads.
If you are picking up by car, please put a sign in the window with your child's name on it to speed up the dismissal process. Car riders will exit through the front doors. Walkers and bus riders will exit at Door #7.

I know we'll have a wonderful start to the 2022-2023 school year! See you tomorrow!
Fondly,
Mrs. Watson
