Check out this short video for your elementary kiddos around what a digital footprint really means. We already K-5 students posting and interacting online, so let's start some good habits early!

Lots of students are exploring and developing their own identities, and they often do this online and on social media. Some kids use multiple accounts, each for a different audience, but with this, what’s real and what’s unrealistic can often get blurred. In this video, your kids can hear other teens talk about the ins and outs of presenting themselves to others online, and consider what it means to “be yourself” in digital spaces.

As tweens and teens start sharing content and engaging with others online, it's vital for them to understand what they're leaving behind and what they might reveal. Help guide kids toward creating the kind of footprint they can be proud of @

Many kids are already posting and sharing information about themselves. Listen to what these teens have to say about sharing on social media. Are you making the right sharing decisions?

Did you hear that we are upgrading Skyward!? Due to this, we need to collect student transportation information earlier this year than we have in the past. Because of this transition, our Online Registration process will happen a few weeks later than normal (~July 16 instead of July 1). In order to create our transportation routes in time for the start of the school year, we need to collect this information before students leave for the summer.
A Google Form link was sent out via Skyward on May 8th (and will repeat two more times before June) to the Primary Guardian of Family 1 as listed in Skyward. You can also find this form on the Olympia Transportation website (Parents > Transportation).
Only one form should be completed for each child. If you have multiple children, please fill out a form for each child.
This form MUST be filled out. If it is not, your child's transportation information may be inaccurate, leading to errors in routing for your child. We will be closing this form on May 31st, so please fill it out as soon as possible!
** If you are an incoming PK/K family who will be registering for the first time this summer, you can fill out from from the website, or wait for an email from Skyward closer to May 31st, once your information has been entered into our system.
If you have any questions, please out to our transportation department at:
-
director-transportation@olympia.org
- 309-379-6011 ext 1111
