The Olympia School District is now accepting new and renewal transfer requests for the 2026-27 school year. Any student who wants to attend an OSD school outside their assigned attendance area — including students from outside the district — must submit an application through the district's transfer process.
The district is also offering free sports physicals for students entering grades 7 through 12 on Saturday, June 6, 2026, for those planning to participate in athletics during the 2026-27 school year.
The Olympia School District Board of Directors has approved the 2026-27 school year calendar. The calendar covers districtwide holidays and events only. Families should check individual school websites for school-specific dates. Enrollment information for optional elementary programs at Lincoln Elementary School and Olympia Regional Learning Academy (ORLA) Montessori is also now available for the upcoming school year.
The district is building its 2026-27 budget amid declining enrollment and rising costs. OSD has published budget FAQs, enrollment projections, and staffing allocation documents on its website. The SUN Bucks summer food program will also return in 2026, providing a one-time $120 grocery benefit per eligible child to help families during summer months when school meals are not available.
