Middle School Transition

 

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.

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 9th from 6pm to 7:30pm
  • Freshman Orientation - Fall 2025

 

 

Welcome Incoming 8th Grade Students and Families  

 

OHS Counselors will visit Reeves Middle School on March 28th and Washington Middle School on March 27th to present Freshmen registration information.
 
Our Welcome Night will be on April 9th, 2025 from 6pm to 7:30pm.  Incoming 9th grade parents/guardians will have an opportunity to hear the Registration Presentation.  Hear a welcome from Principal Grant and get information about The OlyWay, Transitioning to OHS, Bear Crew, Athletics, ASB, Clubs, and more.  All new students and families are welcome to attend this presentation.

 

 

NOTE: Students receiving special services from an IEP or Multilingual teacher will be contacted by the Case Manager to request courses based on a student's IEP. Students with an IEP or Multilingual services should still complete the course request form for their elective choices.

STEP 1: Counselors visit Washington Middle School on March 27th and Reeves Middle School on March 28th. Students will hear the registration presentation and get paperwork for registration.

 

  • *Mrs. Clinton will visit Jefferson Middle School on March 25th, for the group of students that will be attending OHS.
  • **If your student misses this day, or they do not attend Washington or Reeves, check out this video of the presentation.


STEP 2: Explore the OHS Course Catalog for more details about classes and program offerings.

STEP 3: Attend the Welcome Night for incoming Freshman, April 9th, 2025 from 6pm to 7:30pm at OHS.

STEP 4: Complete REQUIRED Forms!

  • Bring your COMPLETED forms back to your middle school. Counselors will return to Reeves on April 11th and Washington Middle School on April 10th to meet with each student and input their course requests.
