The Olympia School District will start the 2020-21 school year with a 100% distance learning model, with plans for a leveled approach to in-person learning. As public health conditions continue to evolve over the next several months, the Olympia School District dial will be a regular part of our guidance as we may have to move back and forth from level to level throughout the year. This information will be updated as new data and guidelines become available.

The following is information about how student attendance will be taken this year, including the link to a short Student Attendance Video.

The Olympia School Board voted on September 14 to move regular board meetings to the second and fourth Thursday of each month beginning on October 8, 2020. ​ Regular board meeting start times will remain at 6:30 p.m. online via Zoom until further notice. Information on how to join the meeting, including the Zoom link, is posted on the district website at least 24 hours before the meeting. All meetings are recorded with live captioning. Video recordings are posted on the district website several days after each meeting.

Students may pick up free grab-and-go lunch, and if desired breakfast for the following day, at school district meal distribution sites starting on the first day of school Wednesday, September 9.

Thurston County residents may register to vote online, by mail or in person for the November 3, 2020 General Election. While there are no Olympia School District measures or candidates on the November election ballot, our district regularly shares election information with the community, including how to register to vote. Election ballots are scheduled to be mailed on October 8.
