Due to weather concerns, all after school activities (including all practices and games) have been canceled for today, Monday January 22nd. Please be safe if you need to be outside today!
Due to the impending ice that is projected to arrive in our area during the morning commute, Olympia will not have school today, Monday, January 22nd. We are concerned about our buses and our student drivers getting to school given the ice in the forecast. This will be a traditional snow / ice day - students do not have to do any school work today as we are uncertain about power and internet stability given we are anticipating ice.
We will add this day to the calendar in May. A decision about after school extra-curricular events will be made by early afternoon.
Reminder: Baseball open gyms this week will be Monday, January 22nd at 6pm and Wednesday, January 24th at 7pm. Both will be in the middle school gym.

"It's complicated" can describe many of our relationships with others, both romantic and otherwise. Add digital devices and social media to the mix, and things get complicated even further. Help students take the first step toward building healthy and rewarding friendships and romantic relationships, both online and off.
Students listen to other teens' thoughts and feelings about having and maintaining boundaries in friendships online, in a world of being constantly connected.
