PSD Connectivity - April 24, 2020
Seniors pick up graduation caps and gowns
There were a lot of smiles this week as the Class of 2020 made brief visits outside of Emerald Ridge, Puyallup, and Rogers high schools to pick up their caps and gowns. While maintaining social distancing, staff was on hand to wave and cheer them on as they drove by and received graduation items. The district is still considering graduation options for our seniors.

Empowering Puyallup initiative provides the tools to continue learning and stay connected

When schools were closed on March 18 under the governor's stay-at-home order, an initiative the district already had in place prepared students and staff for the transition to distance learning.

Every student in grades 4-12 already had a computer assigned to them. There were systems in place to support electronic learning. The Empowering Puyallup initiative, which began three years ago was completed in the fall 2019.

School Board highlights for April 20, 2020 meeting.

The Puyallup School District Board of Directors held its regularly scheduled meeting on April 20 via Zoom. The public was invited to view the meeting.

The meeting included a second reading of policy updates, a first reading of instructional materials for CTE science courses, a report on a Technology Performance Audit, an update on Student Health and School Based Health Clinics, and a report on the February 29, 2020 Financial Statements.

Thank you to all the volunteers who served Puyallup students this school year

More than 8,000 parents/guardians, community members, and students served as Puyallup School District volunteers during this school year. They inspire success in students while nurturing and challenging them to extend beyond their reach, and provide a valuable partnership link with the community.

Thank you to each of our volunteers for your dedication and hard work!
