We already shared earlier this month about our amazing Facilities team's work over the summer. At our last Regular Board Meeting, our Board of Directors also took a moment to recognize our Facilities team and our Facilities Director, Curtis Nybo.

From painting and improvements to completing projects in-house, our team worked hard to get our buildings ready for another school year, all while saving our district hundreds of thousands of dollars by finding creative and cost-effective ways to get the work done.

Thank you, Curtis and our entire Facilities team, for your hard work, resourcefulness, and commitment to taking care of our schools! 👏

Last week, our Nutrition Services team visited local Duris Farm to pick up fresh cucumbers and other ingredients to make pickles for our students!

Supporting local farms is one of the ways our Nutrition Services team brings a fresh variety of foods to our cafeterias while connecting students to food grown right here in our community. We can't wait for our students to enjoy the results! 🥒🌱

Get ready for school meals!

As a friendly reminder, all students in our elementary schools will continue to receive one free breakfast and one free lunch each school day through the end of the 2029-30 school year through Washington's Provision 2 program under HB 1238.

Families are still encouraged to complete the Child Nutrition Education and Benefit (CNEEB) application, as these forms help determine continued funding for programs and services that directly support students across our district.

While students and staff have been enjoying summer break, our Facilities team has been hard at work!

All summer long, the team has been preparing our schools and district buildings for the start of another great year. From projects you can see to the important work happening behind the scenes, they've accomplished A LOT!

This summer's work included:
💡 Retrofitting 600+ light fixtures at OHS and OES to energy-efficient LED lighting
🎨 Painting the OMS exterior, hallways, and classrooms
🖌️ Painting OHS hallways and restrooms
🚗 Repainting parking lots across the district
🧼 Pressure washing sidewalks and buildings
🌿 Clearing vegetation and refreshing flower beds
🛝 Removing and adding playground chips at OES and PtR
✨ Cleaning and waxing floors, cleaning carpets and windows, and deep cleaning desks, chairs, and lunchroom tables
🏫 Refinishing gym floors and completing important safety inspections and facility maintenance

Even better, by completing major projects in-house and leveraging grant funding, this work saved the district more than $135,000!

There's a tremendous amount of work that goes into getting our buildings ready to welcome students and staff back each fall. A HUGE thank you to our Facilities team for spending their summer making sure our schools are clean, safe, welcoming, and ready for another year!

We are excited to announce that we have upgraded to the new Skyward Qmlativ platform. Orting School District has been using Skyward, an information system, to manage student information, finance, and human resources. With Skyward's platform upgrade, we have successfully transitioned from our previous Skyward system to the new system, Skyward Qmlativ.

➡What does this mean for families?
