My sons have been at Olson for 3 years now. It has some great teachers! It's unfortunate that the district is not great and insists on large class sizes. 33 kids per one teacher seems asinine but the teachers who care try really hard to make things work. It's sad that Olson is one of the best elementary schools in the district. I completely disagree with the previous comments below, this NEW principal is a MILLION times better than the previous hag!! I am so thrilled that she got fired. This principal may do things differently, but she has an educated brain and I am happy about that!!

this school has a lemon teacher! no good for nothing! and the principal will do nothing about it. you can bring your concerns to her but you will not be heard! 1 child was injured during school! parent as never contacted nor informed! wen parent brought it up she was told it wasnt important!, another parent wanted their child moved to another class they were told to take it up with the district! . any concenrs you have here you will go unheard and they will bounce you arround like a ping-pong ball!! lip service they will give you

Our six-grader Daughter, enjoys the freedom of choice. We allow her to pick and choose as she makes good choices, she has demonstrated responsibility in her decisions. Making (Pizza) & Tomatoes) are Vegetables came from USDA. Freedom of Choice.

No. I prepare my son's lunch just about every day due to his special needs so I know what he is consuming both for him and his class. I want to be aware of all ingredients in all foods/drinks which he is consuming.

If it is to keep allergic kids safe, then no. A strict rule of no peanuts or pb&j should be enough. My child's school had a peanut free table for double insurance. If for "nutritional" reasons, then NO! Since when is pizza a veggie????... More »
