There is nothing quite like the sound of student laughter to kick off the holidays! ❤️

The staff at Olympia South Elementary wanted to share some of the joy from our "Do You Wanna Build a Snowman" game. It was a game full of Christmas spirit, teamwork, and a lot of toilet paper!

We love making these memories with your children. Happy Holidays from all of us at OSE!

Big cheers for our latest Spartan Spotlights! 🌟 These students were recognized for their incredible empathy. Whether it was lending a helping hand or simply being a friend when someone needed it most, they embody the true Spartan Spirit.

Way to lead with heart, Spartans! #SpartanPride #EmpathyMatters

All Olympia Schools will not be in session today (Friday, Dec. 12) due to dangerous / unsafe road conditions /dangerous temperatures and wind chills.

We will be using a remote learning day today - please look for information from your child’s teacher (elementary) and plan on logging into online instruction today. We will mirror a typical day in school with regards to the schedule for the 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.
