Welcome

Tumwater School District provides a safe, caring, and supportive learning environment for students. Our academic focus is based on four questions: What do we want each student to learn? How will we know if each student is learning it? How will we respond when a student is experiencing difficulty? How will we respond if the student already knows it?
