Arrival Procedures:

Students enter school from bus or the front gate. Staff walk students to class if needed.

Students go home on the bus or by family pick up.

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:

How to check class assignments
If you would like to see what your child is working on at school, you can use ParentVUE on a mobile device or on a desktop. If you'd like some help doing that, check out ParentVUE 

When to keep your child home from school
You can help limit the spread of infectious illnesses by keeping your child home from school when they are sick. Students should stay home if:

• They are too sick to participate in normal activities
• They need a level of care or observation not manageable at school
• They create an unhealthy or unsafe environment for others

If case you didn't know, MultiCare offers a school health clinic that's open to all Tacoma Public Schools students. The clinic is open three days a week throughout the school year; call to make an appointment. Get more details about the clinic, located at Mount Tahoma High School

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.

Help kids get to school safely by following these routes
Tacoma Public Schools partners with the City of Tacoma to provide suggested walking maps for all elementary schools. These maps recommend walking routes to school and nearby parks, middle schools, and other community amenities. Check out our school's map and lots of safety tips
