BOLD Families, Students, and Staff,
We want to let you know about a change in the route students will take from the main part of the building to the North side.
Starting Thursday, September 11, 2025:
We are adjusting the route from the main part of the buiidng to the North side. While students will still be outside briefly, this new route will greatly reduce the amount of time they spend outdoors.
Why this change? Safety!
Outside safety: Students will be away from construction crews and dump trucks.
Inside safety: This new route helps us maintain a more secure building.
Thank you for your understanding as we work to keep students safe during construction.
If you have questions, contact one of us!

Effective immediately, please note the following changes:
One-Way Traffic Adjustment:
9th Street South will now operate as a one-way street from Chestnut Avenue to Pine Avenue only.
This block will be blocked off and restricted to Superior Transportation vehicles only from 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday.
Residents of the 700 block of 9th Street South will be permitted access during these hours for commuting to and from their homes.
Two-Way Traffic Reinstated:
9th Street South from Chestnut Avenue to Birch Avenue will return to two-way traffic as normal.
Both sides of this section will now serve as student drop-off zones to improve accessibility and reduce congestion.
Parking will not be allowed on this block 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Monday through Friday.
The Bus Loop
As per usual, the bus loop will be available for parents to drop off and pickup their children from 8:30 AM to 2:30 PM, Monday through Friday.
Vehicles exiting the bus loop onto 9th St South must follow the one-way to the north.
Additional Considerations
Parents or children with physical disabilities, if someone with a disability requires access to a closer door, please contact me via email at aclouse@olivia.mn.us. Exceptions can be made on a case-by-case basis to ensure everyone’s safety.

Come be a part of something BOLD!
Last night, the BOLD Board of Directors approved a change to the school calendar. The first day of school for K-12 will now be on Tuesday, September 2nd.
The reasons for this delay include:
Teachers need more time to set up their classrooms and prepare for students.
Custodial staff need more time to get the school ready for students.
Approving this delay now will give families time to adjust their schedules accordingly.
We appreciate your patience, trust, and understanding as we do our best to ensure the facilities and staff are as prepared as possible to welcome students back from summer vacation.
Sincerely,
Tim Tydlacka
