Touchet School District

This week's Touchet Staff Spotlight is Mrs. Kirsten Royse! Mrs. Royse has been working at Touchet School District for 21 years now! She is a master in the kitchen facilitating feeding all of our kiddo's breakfast and lunch all the way from T-K to Seniors! Her favorite part of the job is watching the kids grow through the years starting out as preschoolers and then seeing them graduate, and where life takes them from here! Mrs. Royse has four children who are all Touchet graduates, and 5 grandchildren! In her free time, her favorite activity is boating, and her favorite place to visit is Boseman Montana, but she would love to see all of the US someday! Thank you, Mrs. Royse, for all your early mornings, pre-planning, and prepping to keep our students fed and happy!

We are excited to announce that the Touchet School District is launching its highly anticipated 2023–24 Driver's Training Program. Geared towards providing a safe and comprehensive driving education for our students, the program is set to begin in September 2023. This essential program equips young drivers with the necessary skills and knowledge to navigate the roads responsibly and confidently. With a focus on safety, traffic rules, and defensive driving techniques, we aim to foster a generation of skilled and responsible drivers. There is a cost which covers classroom instruction, practical training, and necessary materials. We believe this investment is invaluable in ensuring the safety and preparedness of our students on the road. Spots are limited so please contact the district office to secure a spot. For further details and enrollment inquiries, please don't hesitate to reach out to the Touchet School District's office at 509-394-2352.

The Touchet School District received a repair grant through OSPI to upgrade the broken and antiquated boiler systems in our district. Part of the grant also includes a new heating source for the shop. The district received just shy of three quarters of a million dollars for this upgrade.

Attention students! The yearbooks have arrived! If you didn't get a chance to purchase one earlier, now is your chance. The cost is $40.00 and can be purchased at the district office during their hours of operation. The district office is open Monday-Friday from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Take advantage of the memories captured in this year's yearbook!

We just wanted to express our gratitude to the community for the amazing fireworks show! It was such a fun time for everyone. We also want to give a big shout out to those who took the time to clean up after themselves. It really shows how much we care about our environment and keeping our community beautiful. And to those who showed up this morning to finish the clean-up, thank you so much for your dedication and hard work! You truly make a difference in our community. Once again, thank you for the unforgettable night and for making it a safe and enjoyable event for everyone.

We had a great first week of summer school! We take next week off, then come back for Prehistoric Week! Lots of great activities coming up!

Touchet High School students are invited to come help July 5th at 8:00 to help clean the school grounds. Mrs. Tobin will organize this community service opportunity. Come Join us and earn community service hours.

It is great to see a community coming together to celebrate the 4th of July and take responsibility for keeping the area safe and clean. Supporting such initiatives is essential for maintaining a safe and pleasant environment for everyone. On behalf of our community, we encourage residents of Touchet to participate in the clean up on July 5th at 8:00 a.m. on the football field. By joining the effort, community members can actively contribute to keeping their surroundings tidy and enjoyable for all. Remember to bring any necessary tools or supplies for cleaning up, such as gloves, trash bags, and rakes. If you have any specific questions or need additional information about the event, feel free to call the school district.
