Reminders from last week…

 

Yearbook Distribution

Students may pick up their yearbooks before school, during lunch, or after school in the Business Office. Students must show photo ID to pick up their purchased yearbook. Students may not pick up yearbooks for other students. If you do not have classes at Stadium during pick up times, please check in at the main office to pick up your yearbook.

Yearbooks are available for purchase at the Stadium Business Office for $75 before school, during lunch, or after school while supplies last.

 

Pay Outstanding Fines

Families are encouraged to check their MySchoolBucks account to view and pay any outstanding balances. Library and textbook fines are posted.

Contact Mrs. Rogers in the business office with any questions.

 

Save Your Files – Update Info

Seniors and any students not returning to Stadium, before your Tacoma Public Schools (TPS) account is deactivated, please take time to back up your digital files. You can use this Save Your Files from TPS guide to help with the process.

Also, don’t forget to update your email in Parchment (www.parchment.com) to a personal (non-TPS) address. This ensures you’ll be able to access your transcripts and/or earned diploma after you leave TPS.

 

2026-27 Athletic Registration

Athletic registration for the 2026–27 school year will open on July 1. Families with questions about registration may contact Athletic Director Bridgette Lopez at BLopez1@tacoma.k12.wa.us.

Remember, sports physicals are required for all Tacoma Public Schools students participating in athletics. More information can be found on Stadium High School's Athletics & Activities website.

We look forward to another great year of Tiger Athletics!

 

Sports Physical Resources

Sports physicals are required for all Tacoma Public Schools middle and high school students participating in school athletics. Our school-based health care centers can perform a sports physical exam, and they’re open over the summer. Find clinic hours and additional resources here: School-based health clinics open this summer for care, sports physicals | Tacoma Public Schools.

 

Keep Bus Passes!

Please be sure to keep track of your student’s bus pass this summer. They will need that same pass next year to ride the school bus. The bus pass works for the duration of a student’s Tacoma Public Schools career. If a student switches routes, schools, addresses, etc., the same bus pass will still work.

Replacing a bus pass will cost $5. Students who qualify for free and reduced-price lunch will not be charged for replacements.

As a reminder, students receiving special education transportation do not carry a pass.

 

School Laptops

All students can keep their school-issued laptop at home over the summer. Students will use the same laptop next year. If your student is changing schools within TPS, they will keep their laptop over the summer and take it with them to their new school.

 

Summer Meals

The Summer Meal Program provides free lunch to anyone 18 and younger. In addition, games, crafts, and other activities will be led by Parks Tacoma staff.

• When: Monday–Friday, June 22–August 28, 12:30–1:30 PM (no programs on July 3)
• Where: These parks across Tacoma

Please note, meals must be eaten on site. Games and activities will be run from 10 AM to 12:30 PM but are dependent on staffing and may not occur at all locations.

 

Summer Reading  

Readers of all ages are invited to join Summer Reading at Tacoma Public Library. Sign up online or in-person at any library starting on June 2. Students can track their reading and activities, then complete a reading log and pick up prizes by August 15. 

 

Summer Late Nights – June

Once again, the community is coming together to offer a fun, safe place for kids to hang out in the summer. On June 22, Summer Late Nights opens for students starting 7th grade through 12th grade in the fall.  They can get dinner every weeknight and participate in open gym and field activities, art and music, and gaming from 5:00-10:00 PM.

Summer Late Nights is a free drop-in program. Students can attend as often as they like. We encourage you to register on Compass. You can get more information on the TPS website.

 

Have a wonderful week, Tigers!
