Signing Off for Summer – CTE Blog Pause & Summer Availability

As the school year comes to a close, regular blogging will be paused while the incredible CTE teachers of the Olympia School District take a well-earned summer break! 🌞✌️

We’ll return with updates, reminders, and new opportunities at the end of August. Until then, have an amazing, restful, and safe summer!

While You Rest, We’re Still Here

Although teachers are on break, the CTE Department will remain available and working through most of the summer. If you need anything, don’t hesitate to reach out!

Please note:

  • Knox summer hours may vary, and CTE staff will be working from other locations some days.
    If you plan to drop by in person, we recommend contacting us ahead of time so we can make arrangements to greet you.

🗓 Limited Availability Dates

Please keep these schedule notes in mind as you plan:

  • June 19: Juneteenth – All departments at Knox are closed for the holiday.

  • June 26 – July 2: Chelsea out on personal leave.

  • July 3–4: Fourth of July holiday – Chelsea and Paula are both off.

  • July 21–25: Paula out on personal leave.

  • July 21 – August 1: Chelsea is not under contract and will be unavailable.

Thanks for an incredible year of growth, collaboration, and impact. We'll miss hearing from you over the summer, but we’re looking forward to reconnecting as we kick off the 2025–2026 school year strong.

Enjoy your break—you’ve earned it!
