Elementary Graduation Walks – Monday, June 8, 2026, at 2:30 PM
Grab your caps, iron/steam your gown, and stole! Get ready to walk the halls of your elementary school! Our TPS elementary schools would like to welcome you back to honor your accomplishments and to inspire the little ones.

Please meet in the main office of your elementary school dressed in your cap, gown, and stole just prior to 2:30 PM. If you bring your tassel or cords, do not lose them. Wear your tassel on your right side.

Be on time!

If the elementary school you attended is not in Tacoma Public Schools, you may find a friend and attend with them at their school. Some schools may want you to answer a few questions for the students, so be prepared to dazzle the next generation of high school graduates!
