Touchet School District Superintendent’s Message – February 2025

Dear Touchet Staff, Parents, and Community,

As we move into February, I want to take a moment to express my gratitude for the continued dedication and support of our students, staff, and families. Your involvement and commitment make a significant difference in the success of our schools.

Reminder: February 11, 2025, Replacement Levy – Please Vote!

On February 11, we encourage everyone to participate in the replacement levy election. This levy is not a new tax but a renewal of the existing levy set to expire on December 31, 2025. The funds from this levy are critical in supporting essential programs, staff, and student opportunities in our district. Your vote ensures continued educational excellence in Touchet.

Congratulations to Our New School Board Leadership

We are pleased to announce that Mr. Vidal Pedroza has been elected as the Touchet School Board Chair for 2025. We also congratulate Joe Zuger, who will serve as Vice Chair. Their leadership and commitment to our students, staff, and community will be instrumental in guiding our district forward.

No School on February 14 & 17

• February 14, 2025 – While students will have the day off, our teaching staff will participate in a professional learning day from 7:30 AM to 3:00 PM. This dedicated time allows our educators to engage in meaningful professional development to enhance student learning.

• February 17, 2025 – Presidents Day (No school in observance of this national holiday).

Thank You, Basketball Coaches!

A big shout-out to Scott Pumphrey and Emee Ogdan for an outstanding high school basketball season. Your dedication to our student-athletes is greatly appreciated, and we are proud of the hard work and sportsmanship displayed by our teams.

Open Door Policy

As always, I want to remind everyone that my door is open. If you have any questions, concerns, or celebrations to share, please feel free to reach out and schedule a time to meet. Your voice matters, and I value the opportunity to hear from you.

Thank you for your continued support of the Touchet School District. Let’s make it a great February!

Sincerely,
Robert Elizondo
Superintendent, Touchet School District
