We are excited to offer in-person and online
learning options for students, with the care and
preparedness families expect as we emerge from the
pandemic. Our focus will be on health and safety, social
emotional wellness, and academic acceleration based on
student need.
We remain steadfast on providing quality programs
as we launch an effort to reimagine excellence in our
schools. We have learned a lot about new ways to provide
learning opportunities grounded in communication and
personalization. We have also experienced change in
overall operations like food service and transportation.
Through it all, we know that challenges can be overcome
through strong relationships, collaboration, and support
for one another.
The majority of our families prefer in-person learning,
but we also know that some families still seek virtual
learning options. A variety of learning tracks offered
through Puyallup Digital Learning (PDL) provides choice
for students and families.
As we move through the 2021-22 school year, district
leadership is committed to thoughtful, transparent, and
authentic engagement. We will make decisions that keep
stakeholders informed, ensure student safety, and support
student success.
Our mission, in partnership with our diverse communities,
is to educate and inspire students to reach their full
potential.
This mission is centered on creating learning opportunities
for students that are rigorous, engaging, relevant and
connected to our community. These opportunities will, in
turn, set the stage and prepare students for college, career
and life.
In service and support,
Dr. John Polm, Superintendent
