Key dates for the 2013-14 school year, including the first day of school, holidays, and winter and spring break, are on the district website.

Beginning this fall, the Puyallup School District will no longer schedule early school dismissal and late arrival each Wednesday. Rather, all schools will start one hour late each Monday that school is in session.

The change in school calendars is being made to increase instructional time for students.

Both morning and afternoon kindergarten will be held on Mondays; however, kindergartners will attend school for a slightly shorter time than on their Tuesday through Friday school schedule.
