Each household in the district will receive one packet. If you did not receive one, or would like to purchase an additional calendar, please contact the Superintendent’s Office: (360) 503-1211 or tramsay@asd103.org 

Updated date 

Please note that there is a typo on the printed calendars; Friday, September 23rd is a K-5 Half Day for students. 

Free & Reduced Meals Update 

We are returning to paid meals this year, after federal funding provided the last 2 years of meals throughout the pandemic. 

Paid pricing is as follows:

• Breakfast K-5 - $1.65
• Breakfast 6-12 - $1.90
• Lunch K-5 - $3.00
• Lunch 6-12 - $3.25

We encourage families who may qualify for free & reduced meals to submit an application. Even if your child does not eat school meals, you may also qualify for other financial incentives. Washington State is also waiving all reduced price meals copays, meaning meals will be free for all families qualifying for reduced price meals. Please complete an application, and return it to any school:

Transportation Registration 

We are launching a new transportation system this year to better serve our families. If you have not yet registered your child(ren) for transportation this year, please do so: If your student(s) will need district transportation, please login to Skyward Family Access to submit a Transportation Request Form for each student.

Chromebook Readiness

Students in grades 4-12 should take a few moments before the new school year to charge and power on their Chromebooks to make sure they have everything they need to start the year right! If you have any issues with your Chromebook, or you are missing accessories (power cords, stylus, etc) please contact Technology Services ASAP so we can get it taken care of!

You can reach Technology Services at 360-503-1220 or by stopping by the local Technology Services office in your school.

Students are expected to bring their charged devices with them to school on Sept 6!
