Behind every successful student and every smooth-running school is a team of Education Support Professionals (ESPs).
From our paraeducators and custodians to the office staff, maintenance/grounds crew, food service workers, tech team, and health services—they handle the logistics and the "little things" that aren't actually little at all.
THANK YOU for everything you do to keep our schools running smoothly and our students supported!✨
Don’t forget to set your clocks one hour ahead before you head to bed on Saturday night (March 8th)!
We were honored to welcome Chairman Klatush today as he hand-delivered a generous donation of over $8,000 to benefit Tenino students. We deeply appreciate this investment and the tribe's dedication to our youth.
A special thanks to Commissioner Wayne Fournier for joining Principal Hyder and Superintendent Endicott to accept this gift on behalf of the district.

From the early morning pre-trip inspections to the final "see you tomorrow" at the last stop, our bus drivers are the unsung heroes of the school day. They are the first friendly faces our students see in the morning and the ones who ensure a safe ride home.
How can you participate?
💛 Say Thank You: A simple wave or a "have a great day" goes a long way.
💛 Write a Note: Have your student draw a picture or write a thank-you card for their driver.
💛 Safety First: Remind your kids about bus safety to make the driver's job a little easier.
Let’s give a huge shout-out to the wheels that keep our community moving. We love our First Student bus drivers! 🚌✨

Honoring Years of Dedication 🍎📚🎓✨
At our December School Board Meeting, we had the honor of recognizing two very special individuals!
We want to share a heartfelt thank you to Mrs. Kasey Schiewe and Mr. Forrest Bergin as they conclude their terms on the Tenino School District Board of Directors. Combined, they dedicated just over 20 years of service to TSD!
Serving on a school board requires countless hours of meetings, difficult decisions, and an unwavering commitment to our students’ success. Because of your leadership, our schools are a better place for every child to learn and grow.
Please join us in thanking them for their service to our community!
This morning, students reported to Mr. Hodgson, TMS Principal, that a student was choking. Mr. Hodgson responded immediately and administered the Heimlich to the affected student, dislodging the object. As a precaution and to ensure the student’s safety, 911 was called to have the student evaluated.
The Tenino School District is very proud of Mr. Hodgson’s quick and decisive action, which very well saved a life today. We are also grateful to all staff who helped keep all students safe and provided support to emergency services as they entered campus.
Respectfully,
Clint Endicott
Superintendent
