In March 2026, registered voters who live within the Olathe Public Schools boundaries will have the opportunity to vote in a no tax rate increase $389 million mail-in bond election that would positively impact all Olathe students in every corner of our school district.

Did you know? Olathe has been named the #1 Best Place to Live in Kansas by U.S. News & World Report. Thriving communities do not happen by chance. They are built on strong schools and strong partnerships. We are so thankful for the support of our community!

The quality and condition of our community in the future will reflect the strength of our schools today. Bond 2026 invests in what's working, builds on excellence, and enhances community. If you’re a registered voter in OPS boundaries, your ballot is in your mailbox!

Every year we send home "Returning Huskie Forms from Mrs. Cole" with your students. These forms help to give an insight into what you would like from your students classroom environment for the following school year. Your answers to the questions on the form are very helpful as my team, and I begin creating class lists for the 2026-2027 school year. Please take some time and fill this form out and return it to the front office or your students teacher. The form is attached if you need a fresh one.

Thank you so much for taking the time to get this done!
