Dear Families,
As we work to keep all students safe during arrival and dismissal, I want to remind everyone that the only approved drop-off and pick-up location is in front of the school’s main entrance.
For safety reasons, students may not be dropped off or picked up in the bus loading zone, along Beech Street, 2nd Street or within the Saltar’s Point Estates housing development. These areas create unsafe conditions for students, drivers, and our school buses. We have worked closely with the Town of Steilacoom and the Steilacoom Police Department to establish these guidelines.
Please help us maintain a safe and smooth process by using the designated area only. Our staff will continue to assist with traffic flow and ensure students arrive and leave safely.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Over the past two weeks, our school counseling lesson focused on kindness and understanding the impact our words can have on others. Students participated in a hands-on activity using a tube of toothpaste to explore this idea. After squeezing the toothpaste out, they quickly discovered how hard it is to put it back in—just like we can’t take back unkind words or actions once they’re spoken or done. Through this activity, students learned the importance of thinking before speaking, choosing words that uplift, and showing kindness in their daily interactions. We encourage families to continue the conversation at home by talking about how thoughtful words can make a positive difference in our everyday lives.
