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
