• All DuPont Students to Attend DuPont Schools
  At its February 22nd meeting the Steilacoom Historical School District School Board unanimously passed a resolution authorizing all students residing in the portions of the City of DuPont currently within the Clover Park School District to attend schools within the Steilacoom Historical School District No. 1 beginning with the 2006-2007 school year. In order to make the transfer, a “Release to Attend Form” from the Clover Park School District must be obtained from the Clover Park School District Student Services Center located at 10903 Gravelly Lake Dr. SW, Lakewood, WA 98499 (ph# 253-583-5000). The next step is to bring the completed form with Clover Park’s consent and signature to the SHSD Office located at 510 Chambers Street, Steilacoom WA 98388.
  
  According to Penny Jackson, SHSD Assistant Superintendent, parents of students wishing to transfer should begin the process in late June/early July. While the resolution authorizing attendance had already been scheduled on the February 22nd Board Agenda, it was joined with the announcement that earlier in the day the Washington State Court of Appeals had denied Clover Park School District’s appeal of the Educational Service District’s (ESD) boundary decision bringing all of the City of DuPont within Steilacoom Historical School District No. 1 boundaries.
  
  “This is indeed a celebratory day for the DuPont/Northwest Landing citizens,” said Dr. Art Himmler, SHSD superintendent. “The citizens of DuPont have tried to achieve this school boundary adjustment since 1987, trying various avenues.”
