Shelton's What's New

The Mason County Transportation Cooperative continues to have a bus driver shortage. We understand the hardship this puts on families to provide transportation to and from school when bus routes cannot be filled. We are working hard to keep all routes running, however there are still times when routes are not running. Information about cancellations are sent through the MCTC Facebook page and robocalls. If you have not gotten a robocall when your route is out, please call your student’s school and make sure that we have the correct phone number where you can be reached.

As we come together to work toward change in how public schools are funded in Washington state, we will navigate the challenges of budget realignment and work toward a sustainable financial future for the Shelton School District. We believe in the importance of transparency and open communication. This webpage is designed to provide our students, families, staff, and community members with accurate and up-to-date information about the budget realignment process, the factors driving these changes, and the steps we are taking to minimize the impact on our educational programs and services. We are committed maintaining the high standard of education that our community expects and deserves, including our gains in 3rd grade reading and writing scores. We encourage you to engage and partner with us as we move forward together. Unfortunately, as you can see by the list of articles at the bottom of this page, the budget challenges that Shelton SD is facing reflect the same issues that countless other districts across the state are experiencing.

A handful of students recently had a unique opportunity to participate in a special Career and Technical Education workshop, Women in Welding. This engaging event allowed them to meet inspiring women who are professional welders, as well as current academy students pursuing careers in the field. Attendees witnessed live demonstrations showcasing the welders' skills and even go to create their own welding projects! This hands-on experience not only highlighted the importance of women in the welding industry but also encouraged students to explore the possibilities within skilled trades, fostering their confidence and interest in this vital profession.

Ready! for Kindergarten classes are FREE online & self-paced workshops for parents/caregivers of children ages birth to five years old who live in the Shelton School District. Through “play and learn” activities, these classes will give you the knowledge and tools you need to help your children get ready for school.

We are excited to share a wonderful opportunity for our students in grades 6-12! The Shelton School District has partnered with Math Nation through OSPI for free tutoring! Math Nation supports student learning in math grades 6-8, Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, and ACT/SAT Prep.

As we enter the 3rd year of our strategic plan, Shelton Success, we want to follow up with those most closely tied to the Shelton School District and invite you to participate in an important survey regarding our schools and education programs.

We’re thrilled to share that our Shelton School District Board of Directors has been honored as a 2024 Board of Distinction by the Washington State School Directors' Association – for the seventh year in a row!

Due to the required maintenance of the beams in the Shelton High School stadium, the district has decided to close the stadium during strong winds or for snow accumulation until the project is complete, around mid to late winter. Events and activities that occur during periods when the stadium is closed will be rescheduled or relocated to other venues.
