Focus On Education Week Coming Up Time For A School Tour

FOCUS ON EDUCATION WEEK . . . This year, November 13-19 is Focus on Education Week in Washington State, which coincides with the 90th Anniversary of American Education Week. School districts across Washington, including Yakima School District, are inviting community members to learn more about their public schools and understand the often difficult, but always important, work we do. We encourage the public to use this opportunity to see what’s really going on in our schools, to witness the high-quality and innovative work that happens every day in our classrooms, and to learn more about how everyone can play a role in ensuring future growth and success in schools everywhere. Once you see for yourself, you just may become a public school partner - even a champion - ready to work with us on our goals and build on efforts that are already showing outstanding results in student achievement.

In Yakima School District, we are inviting people to join Superintendent Elaine Beraza on Tuesday, November 15, for an inside look at Yakima Public Schools. The group will board a school bus and spend the morning touring Adams Elementary School and Davis High School. The tour begins at 8:30 a.m. at the district’s Central Services, 104 North 4th Avenue, and concludes at noon at the same location. Everyone is welcome. To register for the tour, please contact Mary Beth Wright at 509.573.7007 or wright.marybeth@yakimaschools.org <mailto:wright.marybeth@yakimaschools.org>.
