Thank your drivers for helping keep our students safe!

Don't underestimate the harm these school absences can cause. Missing just two days a month of school―for any reason—can make life harder. Children who are chronically absent in kindergarten and first grade are less likely to read on grade level by the third grade. Regular school attendance also provides an engaging environment. This can help young people build relationships with peers and adults and gain a deeper sense of community and purpose.

Thank you voters/tax payers of the Tenino School District. The addition of this handrail this summer is already being used by our students entering our school. This little added safety feature is much appreciated.
