Olympic Hills Family Newsletter

Olympic Hills families,
It was wonderful seeing families at the Spanish Family Council tonight!
I want to share a transportation update with you all. The school district anticipates a disruption to many bus routes next week when the vaccine mandate goes into effect for bus drivers. Bus transportation is being prioritized for students who receive special education services, have 504s, or McKinney Vento status, as well as Title I schools. Olympic Hills is a Title I school, so we are hopeful that our bus routes will not be affected. I will communicate with families next week as we find out more information. Please reach out to me if you have any questions.
In partnership,
Libby DeBell

Covid-19 Updates
The school district has updated the following guidance for students who are sick:
- If a student has more than one of these symptoms, they must stay home and get tested for COVID-19.
If a student has one of these symptoms - fever, muscle or body aches, difficulty breathing, or new loss of taste or smell - they must stay home and get tested for COVID-19.
- They can return to school or work with a negative PCR test OR an alternative diagnosis by a health care provider plus a negative PCR test and 24 hours after a fever has resolved and other symptoms have significantly improved.
If your child is sick and you have questions about when they can return to school, please call the main office at 413-2200.
