———Middle School Transition

(updated 1/25/2024)

 

Students living in the Olympia High School attendance boundaries and are currently enrolled in one of our feeder middle schools will automatically “roll up” to Olympia High School.

If you are coming from any other school or live outside of the Olympia High School attendance boundary, please visit our enrollment page at https://www.osd.wednet.edu/our_district/schools/student_enrollment.

Our counseling team is unable to individually meet with incoming Freshmen families, however this site will be updated with important information to help with the middle school to high school transition process along with two in person events:

  • Welcome Night on April 10th from 6pm to 7:30pm
  • Freshman Orientation - Fall 2024
     


 

Welcome Incoming 8th Grade Students and Families  

OHS Counselors will visit Reeves Middle School and Washington Middle School on March 26, 2024 to present Freshmen registration information.

Our Welcome Night will be on April 10th, 2024 from 6pm to 7:30pm. Incoming 9th grade parents/guardians will have an opportunity to hear the Registration Presentation.
