The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) announced a project on State Route 16 and State Route 302 which will affect staff, students, and families’ ability to park on Purdy Lane NW near Peninsula High School. This project will likely affect incoming and outgoing traffic to Purdy Elementary as well.

Ashley Stolhand, currently an instructional facilitator for the Department of Learning and Innovation, has accepted the role as Gig Harbor High School’s new assistant principal.
The PSD Board of Directors will host its regular business meeting at 6 p.m. on Thursday, March 23, 2023 at Swift Water Elementary School, 10811 Harbor Hill Drive, Gig Harbor, WA 98332.
