Bussing

The bus will not drop off Kindergarten or Transition to Kindergarten students at their bus stop without an adult. They will bring the child back to school. You must write a note if you want a sibling to take a Kindergarten or Transition to Kindergarten student home form the bus.

Arrival Procedures:

Students enter the building off the bus or through the front gate. We open the gate at 8:55am. Families can walk students to class the first 2 days of school. If you are walking your child to class, please enter school through the front gate.

Dismissal Procedures:

Students go home on the bus or by family pick up on the playground. We open the gate at 3:30. Students must be picked up on the playground by a guardian. Students are not able to leave the playground without a guardian and are not able to leave on their own to get in a vehicle.

Changes to Student Dismissal:

No changes will be made to the way a student gets home after 3pm. After 3pm our staff and students preparing for dismissal.

Tacoma Public Schools District Information:

Welcome, preschoolers
This Monday, we welcome our Head Start, ECEAP and Peer Inclusion preschoolers. I'm looking forward to a great year with all of our students. 

Please complete CNEEB application
Have you completed the CNEEB application? I’m asking all families to complete the application by Oct. 1: MySchoolApps - Select District. 

It’s important because it helps schools get additional resources for students, and it helps many families directly with benefits like fee waivers for school-related activities.

It takes about 10 minutes to complete on a phone or computer. Feel free to take care of it at our school’s front office. Families can choose to translate the application in their preferred language.

Printable applications are also on our website at: https://www.tacomaschools.org/departments/enrollment/annual-forms.

Questions? Contact our front office or email householdapplication@tacoma.k12.wa.us.

 Report an absence
If you need to report an absence for your child, you can do that through the ParentVUE app. ParentVUE - Tacoma Public Schools (tacomaschools.org)

Why do we move teachers and students?
Experience tells us that every year our enrollment will fluctuate during the first two weeks of school, as some students have moved and new students register for school.

When enrollment numbers stabilize, we make final classroom adjustments for our school. Families with students in classrooms impacted by enrollment changes will be notified by me Sept. 17-27.
 

Welcome Preschool and Head Start families! I am looking forward to an awesome 2024-2025! 😊
