Congratulations to Mohamed El-Sokkary (Mr. Mo), Family Liaison at Garfield and Lincoln Elementary Schools, who was named the 2025 Olympia School District Classified School Employee of the Year. ​ El-Sokkary learned of this honor during a surprise announcement at Lincoln Elementary's weekly school assembly. Superintendent Patrick Murphy shared the news, which was greeted with applause, cheering, and hugs by the students, staff, and families in attendance.

Every year, snow or severe conditions seem to lead to the closure or late start of our schools, and we want to keep you updated about those decisions.

Olympia School District has partnered with the Guaranteed Admissions Program (GAP) and two private universities which provide increased access to college admissions.
