PSD Foundations For Our Future

What’s happening at Woodland Elementary this summer?

When students head out for break on June 16, construction will begin on a rooftop solar project, making Woodland the first school in the Puyallup School District with a large-scale solar installation. Funded by a $1.7 million state grant, the 221.4‑kilowatt system is expected to supply about 31.5 percent of the school’s annual electricity consumption while reducing costs and environmental impact.

Before construction begins, students met with McKinstry experts to learn how solar energy works and ask thoughtful questions. The project will provide clean energy and create a hands-on learning opportunity connected to science and engineering.

Small projects can have a big impact. At Emerald Ridge High School, the path students used most between the main building and portables had worn into grass and often meant muddy shoes and extra cleanup during wet weather. Thanks to the 2024 Capital Levy and Looker Asphalt, that route is now a paved pathway, creating a cleaner, safer, and more accessible connection for students and staff.

Thank you, voters, for investing in improvements that support everyday learning across our schools.
