Linnea Olbon

The Department of Family, Community, and Partner Engagement is dedicated to bridging connections between our schools, families and the broader community, embodying the district's mission of inspiring confident and creative learners. Our office brings learning to life by recognizing that families, communities, and strong partnerships are integral to providing the best possible education for our students. We believe that when these elements are deeply engaged, they significantly enhance the learning experience and overall success of every student.

Led by Linnea Olbon, the department is dedicated to enriching student experiences through high quality after-school programs, intentional community involvement, engaging family events, and the development of strong, lasting partnerships with community organizations. Through these efforts, the department brings learning to life beyond the classroom and ensures students and families are supported both in school and throughout the broader community.
