Principal Update
Hello Highlander Families! We
appreciate each of you and all you do every day to support teachers and
students. We know you are working hard & thank you for your
dedication! Here is the latest news from Hunt:
School Spirit Day
Friday
October 30th will be our first school Spirit day, Superhero day, so dress
as your favorite superhero! For students who attend in person on
Tues/Thurs. Thursday the 29th will be your Superhero Day! Can't wait to see
who your favorite Superhero is!
School Pictures
With students currently in remote
learning mode, our school picture day will be postponed until students
return to school. At this point, we are not sure when that will
happen. Our photographer, Perler Photography, has created a great
option for those of you that want or need school pictures now. It is
safe, sanitized, and 1:1 with only your family. To book an appointment call
253.770.5672.
FREE 5-DAY SUPPLY OF STUDENT MEALS
Any child age 0-18 is eligible to receive a free 5-day supply of breakfasts
and lunches. Every school in the district hosts meal pickup on Mondays
from 11-12. The next pickup is on Monday, October 26th.
Monday evening pickups are available by calling Food Service at
253.841.8773.
EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS & OPERATIONS
SUPPLEMENTAL LEVY
On Tuesday, November 3, voters in Puyallup School District will be asked to
consider an Educational Programs and Operations (EP&O) Supplemental
Levy that would generate a maximum amount of $37 million over two years to
help sustain school district operations.
The Puyallup School District is
facing a significant budget deficit of $39.6 million over the next three
years. Although the District has recently made significant administration
and department reductions, the current school year alone has a $20 million
deficit. This supplemental levy will help to minimize, not eliminate, the
impact of our budget deficit.
At the Levy Informational Town Hall Oct. 21, information was
shared with members of the community explaining why there is such a large
deficit, levy costs, and the impact of COVID-19 on schools. Read more …
