Parent volunteers helping students at Lincoln

Family Partnership

Active family participation is vital for the success of the Options Program.

Families, friends, and community volunteers directly support the efforts of teachers and the children's learning. Family involvement also is essential for field trips, enrichment activities, fundraising, school governance and social events. We welcome and appreciate the contributions of all families. Our program goal is for each adult to contribute one hour a week of program support.

You are invited. The Olympia School District welcomes and encourages volunteer involvement from families and other members of the community. Every year, more than 3,600 citizens donate their time to Olympia schools, giving nearly 150,000 hours. At Lincoln examples of volunteer work include tutoring students, being a reading buddy, helping out in the school library or office, assisting teachers with daily assignments or special projects, being a guest speaker, driving on field trips, working in the School Garden, help with tending the school chickens and serving on the Options Community Council (OCC).
