🚧 SUMMER CONSTRUCTION UPDATE 🚧
Big things are happening in Rainier School District this summer! All three of our school buildings are officially under construction to get ready for the upcoming school year.
Because our campuses are active work zones, physical building access is restricted and closed to the public for safety reasons.
But don't worry—we are still here to help! The District Office is operating all summer long.
How to reach us:
📞 Call the District Office: 360-446-2207 (For general questions, registration, etc.)
📧 Email Staff Members: Reach out directly to your school's teachers or staff via email for specific inquiries.
Thank you for your understanding as we upgrade our schools!
