All Olympia School District schools and the Knox 111 Administrative Center offices will be closed to the public during Winter Break.

Friends, family and the public are invited to attend our Olympia School District 2024 holiday concerts.

The Olympia School District is excited to announce the addition of no-cost Early Childhood Education and Assistance Program (ECEAP) preschools to our district for the 2024-25 school year. We are actively recruiting students and staff for these pilot programs, which will be taking place at both Garfield and McLane Elementary school.
