Olson Elementary

We serve approximately 450 students from various neighborhoods and are committed to working together as a community in order to ensure that all of our students and families feel welcomed, valued and have full access to opportunities for learning.
Welcome to Olson Elementary
Home of the Swimming Otters
Together we continue to fight for issues of equity and that all students receive a high-quality education that nurtures their academic, behavioral and social-emotional well-being. We’re dedicated to building collective responsibility and a commitment to ongoing collaboration. Olson is built to be a green school that creates a healthy environment conducive to learning while saving energy, resources, and money. You will notice signs of our green school throughout the building, such as our geothermal heating and cooling system, solar panels on the roof and the lighting in our learning spaces.
