Health Screenings
Students in the Olympia School District are screened for possible health problems. This includes screening for vision, hearing, dental, and scoliosis (curvature of the spine). Parents are notified of any problems found during the screening.
Health & Accident Insurance
Students are not automatically covered by medical or accident insurance. Parents who wish to purchase group insurance coverage can select school-time coverage, 24-hour coverage, football and dental coverage. Each plan offers high, medium or low benefit options which allow parents to tailor the coverage to their specific needs. Information is available at each school and the District offices.
