Here are some tips for visiting Olson.
1) Please have your ID ready to show to the camera after you ring the bell.
2) Please keep your ID out to show the receptionist at the reception window.
3) Please DO NOT hold the door open for other parents or visitors. This goes against our nature as we all want to be polite and helpful to one another. However, every person who enters the building needs to show ID prior to entering. Please also be mindful to not let anyone in as you leave the building.
Student and staff safety is our top priority at Olson. Thank you for doing all that you can to help us.
Please reach out to www.allenisd.org.

Hello Otter Families!
I am Mrs. MacGee, OIson’s new Librarian, and I am excited to launch the Olson Library Legacy Books initiative!
Olson Library Legacy Books is promoted by the Olson Library to honor our students and families, as well as build our school library with new and exciting books!
With a $20 donation to the library, a book is purchased for our permanent collection and is inscribed with the donor’s name (student or family). They will then be the first to check the book out for 2 weeks.
Please explain to your student/s that the book is a donation and will become part of the Olson Library collection for other students to check out after them.
Here are some suggestions for opportunities to honor your student/s with an Olson Library Legacy book:
- Birthdays
- Accomplishments
- New member of the family
- In Memory Of…
- Special family events
- 6th Grade celebration .... and many more!
Please complete this Google Form and submit payment via School Pay to be a part of this very special initiative, and thank you for your support!

2022-2023 Health and Safety Guidelines -
Allen ISD looks forward to welcoming all students back to school for the 2022-2023 school year. The district will continue to monitor the guidance of local, county, and state health agencies to ensure we find an appropriate balance of health and safety procedures that afford us the opportunity to also ensure high levels of student learning.
Allen ISD’s health and safety protocols to prevent the spread of COVID-19 for the 2022-2023 school year are located on the district website. These protocols are subject to change based upon additional Texas Education Agency guidance.
When your student is absent there are a few pieces of information we need for our records.
What needs to be included in an absent note:
● Child’s first and last name
● Date(s) the student was absent
● Reason why they were absent
Options to submit absences:
· Preferred Method: Submit absence through Skyward- see graphic below for step-by-step instructions at bottom of page. *Currently, you are not able to submit doctor’s notes in Skyward, so please submit to the office.

· Student may bring a note from home within 3 days of their return to school. If not turned in within the 3-day window, absences will be counted as unexcused.
Important Reminders:
● Absences due to travel are not excused absences, they are counted as unexcused unless it’s to attend a funeral.
● If a student is absent for illness 5 or more consecutive days, a doctor’s note must be provided for those days to be excused.
● When students come in late to school or check out early due to dentist or doctor appointments please provide a doctor’s note to excuse the partial day absence.
Hello!
My name is Nurse Jimenez and I am so excited to started the 2022-23 school year at Olson this year!
Now that school is in full swing, there are a couple of reminders I need to pass along. Please notify me by email at veronica.jimenez@allenisd.org if your child has tested positive for Covid. Common covid symptoms include headache, stomachache, body aches, fatigue, and fever. Your child might not necessarily have a fever. If your child has a combination of these symptoms, keep them home and test them for Covid. Remember to keep your child home if ill. Your child must be fever free, vomiting, and diarrhea free for 24 hours. I look forward to taking care of your child this year!
