Communication between the home and school is valuable in creating a learning partnership to support the academic growth of students. Each year, Allen ISD designates a specific window of time for teachers to conduct formal conferences with parents regarding student progress. Traditionally, this is scheduled on campus during the last week of October. This year, elementary teachers will communicate with parents on academic progress through a variety of methods. Communication will occur during an extended period of time from now until mid-November and may include formal conferences, personalized phone calls, or academic reports. As always, if you have specific concerns, you are encouraged to reach out to your child’s teacher.

We still need dads to sign up for

our virtual Watch D.O.G.S. program.

Each week, 2 dads will be spotlighted

in Olson's Weekly Announcements.

Participating dads should submit a video of

themselves answering the provided questions.

Please see the sign up genius for instructions.

BE the ONE is an initiative to link Allen ISD schools in their efforts towards Character Education. The goal of BE the ONE is to create positive gains in the value structure of the students, faculty, parents, and community. BE the ONE is a common thread between the schools that will demonstrate to the community of Allen, Texas that Allen schools are working toward a common goal in the areas of Character Development.

We want to encourage you to purchase Be the ONE shirts for your family to spread the message that Olson is strong in supporting Character Education. Together, we can make a difference, but one by one we can show our community how effortless and contagious kindness can be.

If you are interested in purchasing a shirt, you may do so from September 29th – October 11th. The shirts will be a black logo on the front, as well as a design on the back. Sizes range from Youth-Adult 4XL. Shirts may be ordered online at Allen ISD School Counselor page.

Your children are making great memories everyday, and the school yearbook is a great way to capture them! Yearbooks are on sale now.

HI Otter Families,

I wanted to reach out to our community to recruit two cafeteria monitors for the Olson lunch room. Lunch room monitors supervise our students from 10:30-1:30 while they eat lunch. In addition to student safety, primary duties include handing out sporks and napkins and visiting with our students! If you or someone you know might be interested in the position, please apply through the Allen ISD job posting link here .

School Hours: 7:45 am - 2:55 pm

The building opens at 7:30. Student supervision begins at that time. Please contact the office no later than 2:30 if there are changes in how your child will be picked up. Please email or call the school office in the morning if your child is absent or leave a voicemail 24/7 at 972-236-0600, ext. 1800. When your child returns to school, he/she will need to bring a signed note with the reason for the absence.
