Olympia South students in each grade level found a special way to honor and celebrate our Veterans today during an all school assembly. We were grateful for all of the Veterans and family members for joining us!




On Veterans Day, and every day, the students and staff of Olympia South Elementary salute and honor the brave men and women who have served our country.
To all veterans, thank you for your courage, your sacrifice, and your dedication to protecting our freedoms. Your service is a living lesson in patriotism, duty, and citizenship for our students and our entire community.
We are deeply grateful for everything you have done.
Happy Veterans Day!

We are incredibly proud to announce this group of Olympia South Elementary students as our Super Spartans for the Month of October.
It's the powerful Growth Mindset they demonstrated every single day. A huge congratulations to them for embodying the Spartan spirit of Effort, Strategy, and Perseverance. They proved that the belief in "I can't do it... YET!" is the ultimate path to success! Congratulations, we are all proud of you. Keep up the good work!

PreK and Kindergarten teachers participated in professional learning today on developmentally appropriate play. They are actively assessing their practice and thinking about different ways to engage students in developmentally appropriate ways. It was a great morning!


We would like to remind our families that we have a District non-profit, the Spartan Promise Council, that exists to remove barriers for students. This non-profit is funded by individual community members and generous church donations. If your Olympia child needs food, clothing, or some other type of assistance, please reach out to our Student Support Specialist, Cari Roop (cari.roop@olympia.org). While there are food pantries in our communities, we also have a Spartan Market on the OHMS campus. The QR code on the flyer allows you to make a request. We hope that these services can help support our students during these challenging times.

Did you recently receive an email from Skyward notifying you that the quarter 1 report card has been posted? To view and/or download your child's report card, sign into Skyward Family Access (browser or mobile app) and open the "Portfolio" tile. You will then complete an electronic signature in order to view the report card. You can view that process in the attached video.
