Good morning, Puyallup.

Puyallup School District is launching a budget restoration process—designed to tackle long-term financial challenges—and invites community participation to help shape plans that prioritize student success and equity.

Puyallup school officials said that starting October 20 students will use their new Access Cards to board and exit buses with the StopFinder app providing real-time tracking and notifications—this rollout was rescheduled from October 6 to ensure the updated software and driver tablets work correctly. Families will receive emails with app instructions as schools distribute the cards in late September and early October.

District staff will share analysis of the 7th Street NW/West Main road closure and potential improvements led by a student committee—details of the open house are set for Tuesday, October 21 from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. at Puyallup High School Commons—to gather community feedback.
