Time is running out! The deadline to vote is this Tuesday, the 12th, at 8PM! Don’t wait until then! Vote now!

To Our Puyallup Community,                                                                                                                                

As I am sure you are all aware, the Puyallup School District is a community of great tradition and pride. In addition, it is a rapidly growing community which is home to a great many families in all stages of life.

I was very surprised to learn that more than 10,000 of the registered voters in our school district are currently serving in the military, working out of town, or attending school away from home.  In order to have all of the members of our community partake in the coming election, I would highly encourage everyone with registered voters who are not currently at home to mail them their ballot!  These citizens are part of our community, and it is important that we hear from every registered voter during elections. Please take every opportunity to encourage your neighbors and those you know to vote in this election, and coming elections as well!

Please find below a link to a short Puyallup High School student-produced video which provides factual information regarding the coming February 12, 2013 Puyallup School District bond election. Please consider forwarding the link to members of our community who may have questions regarding the underlying reasons for this ballot measure.

More election information is also available on our district website at http://www.puyallup.k12.wa.us/ourdistrict/departments/facilities/Bond13/.

The ballots for the election will begin arriving in homes on January 25, 2013.  There are a number of election drop boxes in our community which will accept ballots up until the early evening of February 12, 2013.

Thank you for reading this message, and  please remember to vote before February 12, 2013.
