Behind the scenes of a strong start to the new school year

When Deputy Superintendent David Hammond walked into Spanaway Lake High School during the first week of school, he stepped into near-total silence. 

Classrooms were already focused, administrators were stationed at every hall intersection, and students were engaged in learning from day one. It looked seamless, but that calm environment was the result of a massive, summer-long effort.

While classrooms were empty of students during August, staff were working. Teachers, paraeducators, and behavior teams all spent time sharpening their skills in professional development sessions. Meanwhile, custodial, maintenance, and grounds crews spent the summer waxing floors, shampooing carpets, and prepping facilities to ensure everything was ready for students to return.

That preparation translated directly into the student experience. At Spanaway Lake High School, Student School Board Representative Autumn Humbert, a junior, noticed the impact right away, especially when it came to how freshmen were welcomed into the building. 
"It has been really great,” she said. “They've been communicative, they've been smiling, especially our shy students. We want to thank everybody at Spanaway Lake High School for making them feel comfortable, making them feel seen, and most importantly, making them feel safe enough to talk to other people and openly speak about things that they need to."

Starting a new school year requires coordination across every department, but the end result is a safe, welcoming environment where learning takes priority.

"Anytime a new school year starts, everything looks pristine and perfect on paper, but it's different when it's now time to execute, and you can't plan for everything that might happen," School Board President Marcus Young said. "But we have staff and a community that knows how to come together and do what's best for students."
