REGISTRATION
All students must be registered and all forms must be completed before students may attend classes at Olympia High School.
New Student Registration
When a new student family moves into the Olympia High School attendance area, the family should contact the Olympia High School Administrative Office to make an appointment to meet with an assistant principal (360-596-7004). Bring proof of residency (rental agreement, mortgage agreement) to that meeting. Registration forms will be provided at that time. Registration meetings are not scheduled during July. Following the meeting, paperwork should be completely filled out and returned to the Counseling Center as soon as possible.

Courses:
Courses offered vary from year to year and are decribed in the course catalogue section of the "Academics" link.
Scheduling:
Each year students at OHS register for their classes as a part of Homeroom activities. The Homeroom teacher is the student's first period teacher. Should students need additional help, the appropriate counselor may be consulted. Incoming freshmen are computer scheduled for their first year after completing the subject selection form.
The subject selection process puts the student in charge of selecting classes to meet individual interestst and needs; therefore, class schedule changes should not be necessary except during extreme circumstances. Necessary schedule changes should be handled with a counselor during the first ten class days of the first semester (first five days of second semester). Any withdrawal from a class after that time will result in the awarding of a withdrawal failure grade (WF) on the student's permanent record.
