We love first grade!
Olympia West is ready to welcome students and families back for the 2022-2023 school year. Kindergarten and PreK open house is tonight.
A new school year means we get to welcome our new Spartan Staff! We spent two days this week working through a new teacher orientation where we went over the Olympia District Vision & Values; Strategic Planning Themes; Teaching & Learning in Spartan Nation; and Student Support Systems. We are excited to welcome these new staff members to Olympia!
Olympia's food service staff spent time together preparing for the new school year. Our department is ready to take on the challenges unique to food service. Our goal as always is to provide outstanding service and high quality meals that meet or exceed the latest federal and state requirements. New this year will be plant based lunch entrée options that are available to order by staff and students at the OHSMS and by parents for elementary students. Look for the QR code included on lunch menus. We are also excited to share that we will be able to continue for this year to offer reimbursable breakfast meals free of charge to all Olympia Students. Reimbursable lunch meals will return as charges to family accounts. The application for free and reduce meals may be found on the Olympia Website/Parents/Paper Forms/Food Service.
As the school year approaches, Spartan staff has been hard at work getting ready to welcome back students. This energetic group of educators spent their afternoon preparing to provide each and every student a warm welcome into the new year.

During a recent family vacation to Alaska, this fourth grader took her learning to the real world. She studied Alaska as part of her state research project and presentation and then became Rose Albert for the Wax Museum. While in Alaska, she had an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet Rose Albert in person. Ms. Albert is the first Alaska Native woman to compete in the Iditarod race, painter and artist.

Fourth graders became doctors today at Reading Hospital where they read and answered questions about the human body, performed surgery using the Operation game, reviewed x-rays and completed a patient diagnosis. What a fun day!
West first graders had a great time at the ISU Planetarium. They followed up with a picnic on the quad!
Current Olympia 5th graders from all three buildings visited OMS to better understand what to expect in middle school. The class of 2029 went on a tour of the building, visited 6th grade classrooms, and had an opportunity to meet with OMS student leaders to learn about life at OMS. We are excited to welcome these students in August!
Congratulations to Ty for breaking the school record in the Mile Run with a time of 5:45.
