In June, we celebrate LGBTQ+ Pride Month, dedicating this time to affirming the identities that create our strong and diverse district. During this month, we focus on the importance of creating space for our scholars, staff, and community to show up as their authentic selves. Scholars feel most empowered to do their best learning when they are comfortable being themselves.
We’re #FWPSProud of our phenomenal scholars, staff, and community members and love recognizing them during the Good News Announcements at our board meetings!

Since the start of the 2023-24 school year, students at Rainier View Elementary have been eating breakfast in class. This change came after adopting the Breakfast in the Classroom program, and the shift has brought positive results.
