Thanks to all the families that participated in Read Across America this past month! Our students read over 1500 books and everyone earned a free book from our generous community and the Dan Moyer Family.



Celebrating the ❤️ of our Schools!
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!✨

Why school attendance matters
Regular attendance at school does more than help your child learn. It also boosts their development and overall health. That's why the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) encourages families to:
• reduce unnecessary absences
• learn about attendance policies where you live
• prioritize getting kids to school on time, every day
Thank you to our wonderful Pacific Science Center Van Educators and our awesome parent Volunteers for making Tuesday a great event for our kids! We are so lucky in Tenino that the Pacific Science Center loves us! Thanks kids and families you are great!

February is Love the Bus Month, and we’re taking a moment to celebrate the incredible people who make the journey to and from school safe, fun, and possible every single day.
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! 🚌✨
