The Olympia School District Countdown to Kindergarten event, originally scheduled this weekend, has been rescheduled for Saturday, March 2, 2019. If you are the parent or guardian of an incoming kindergartner in the 2019-20 school year, or if you know someone who has a child entering Olympia schools as a kindergartner this fall, please share with them about this event and make sure they mark the new date — March 2 — on their calendar.

The annual event will be held from 10-11:30 a.m. at Capital High School, 2707 Conger Ave. N.W., Olympia. It begins at 10 a.m. with a welcome and presentation by Olympia School District Superintendent Patrick Murphy.

An information fair follows in the school Commons where parents/guardians can meet staff from elementary schools around the district. The event is also a chance to learn about registering for kindergarten, using Skyward Family Access (Student Information System), riding the bus, alternative kindergarten options, before- and after-school child care, and community partner services.

Kindergarten registration for the 2019-20 school year begins on March 4, 2019.
