Hello Otter Families! For those who are returning to Olson on Wednesday, 9/2 for In-Person learning, we know you have many questions about changes and new procedures. We look forward to having students in the building once again and want you to be prepared!

In addition, all Olson parents are invited to join the Live Webinar Q&A session with Mrs. Miller on Monday, 8/31 at 6 PM to discuss any questions or concerns about our learning environments this year. Both At-Home and In-School parents are welcome to attend.

IN OTTER NEWS

Allen ISD will be hosting a Bond Background Meeting to provide more information on the 2020 Bond Election. Join Allen ISD for a Zoom webinar TONIGHT (Tuesday, 8/25 from 6 - 8 PM). There will be presentations from AISD's third-party consultants in the area of demographics and finances, as well as information from Allen ISD's CFO. The community is invited, and there will be time for questions.  

You must register to attend! Click here to register now!

This informational meeting is one in a series of presentations to provide as much information as possible about the 2020 Bond Election on November 3rd. This first meeting will not focus on individual projects in the bond proposal, and instead feature background information that was provided to Project Kids (the 80-member citizen advisory committee) this summer.
