Countdown to Kindergarten 2025

The Olympia School District would like to welcome the students and families from the Class of 2038 to our annual Olympia School District 'Countdown to Kindergarten' event.

This exciting and informative event is open to all parents/guardians who have children entering kindergarten for the 2025-26 school year, both in-district and out-of-district families.

Parents/guardians and incoming kindergartners are encouraged to attend, and feel free to invite your friends and neighbors!

Families will have an opportunity to:

• Learn all about transitioning to kindergarten in our district
• Begin the enrollment process
• Interact in a mock kindergarten classroom
• Enjoy activities in our P.E. and arts/music booths
• Talk with transportation and child nutrition staff
• Receive a free book from the South Sound Reading Foundation
• Find out about before and after-school programs from Y-Care
• Learn about transferring to the OSD for out-of-district families
• Speak with Student Support if your child requires special needs accommodations

Please Note: Online kindergarten enrollment is open. Students must be five years old by August 31, 2025, to enter kindergarten in the 2025-26 school year. Families can request an early entrance kindergarten assessment if the student turns five between September 1 and October 31, 2025.
