Principal's Message

  • Welcome to the 2025–2026 School Year at WESD Online Learning Academy!

    I am excited to begin my 32nd year in education—including 26 wonderful years in the Washington Elementary School District—and to welcome you to another fantastic year at WESD Online Learning Academy (OLA). Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of teaching several grade levels and serving as a school administrator for the past 12 years. It is truly a pleasure to work alongside our incredible students, families, and staff here at OLA.

    I am dedicated to building a school community rooted in excellence—one that nurtures both the academic and social growth of every student.

    Our vision at the Online Learning Academy is to prepare our scholars to be lifelong learners in a technology-driven world. We are committed to fostering critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and essential 21st-century competencies that will empower students for success beyond the classroom.

    My door is always open, and I value open communication and collaboration. Please don’t hesitate to reach out.

    On behalf of the entire OLA team—welcome! We look forward to a successful, engaging, and inspiring school year together.

    Warmly,

    Darcy Estrada
    Principal, WESD Online Learning Academy
