Dear Olympus Junior High Parents and Guardians,
We are excited to welcome our students and families back to Olympus Junior High for the 2026–2027 school year! Please review the following important registration and back-to-school information.
Walk-Through Day
Our annual Walk-Through will be held on Wednesday, August 5, 2026, from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
During the Walk-Through, students will have an opportunity to become familiar with the school, locate their classrooms, and practice opening their lockers. Please be aware that locker assignments may be distributed a little later than usual this year as we work to correct an issue with the locker combination spreadsheet. We appreciate your patience as we complete this process along with the many other preparations needed before students arrive.
Online Registration
Parents must complete yearly registration and required permission forms for their returning and new-to-Olympus Junior High students through the Granite School District Focus website.
On July 31, 2026, and once registration and permission forms have been completed, students and parents will be able to view class schedules.
Yearbooks
Yearbooks can and should be purchased during registration to help ensure timely delivery in the spring of 2027.
Schedule Changes
The time before school begins must be reserved for students who have a necessary class change. Please email your student’s counselor with the requested change and the reason the change is needed. We will do everything we reasonably can to accommodate student needs.
