Notes from the Superintendent
- If you have not finished the registration process within Skyward, please do so. If you are having difficulty, you can contact your child's school or Ami Lawson at the District office (309) 379-6011.
- Keeping track of health requirements is difficult. If you have questions about what is required for each grade level, please refer to this document https://core-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/asset/uploaded_file/97340/Health_Requirements.pdf All of this and additional health related information can be found on the website - www.olympia.org - Parents - Forms & Resources - Health Related Items. Nurses / health clerks at each building will also be able to answer any health related questions that you might have.
- If you need assistance with school supplies, please contact our Family Coordinator Michelle Maris @ michelle.maris@olympia.org

Detailed information will be coming from building Principals, but the dates and times for Open Houses around the district are also included on this summary calendar: https://core-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/asset/uploaded_file/395/district/2872281/2023-24_summary_cal_updated_Aug.pdf
We are planning to have an amazing year with our students. Our District theme is 'Come Together' which is something this community does really well. We know all stakeholders must come together if we want to positively impact students and our community. Thank you for sharing your children with us and for supporting Spartan Nation in so many ways.

OHS Fire Follow Up & Construction News
At this point, we are anticipating that we will not be able to use the OHS gym at all first semester. We are working with OMS to schedule high school events in there and will be working with other schools to see if home high school contests (girls and boys basketball) may be switched to away contests. Luckily, we have very few high school home contests scheduled first semester. This delay will result in some OMS events being moved to other locations in the District and our practice schedules will be altered as multiple OHMS teams will be sharing essentially one gym. More information will be shared as it becomes available.
