SCHOOL SUPPLIES
Most school and classroom supplies will continue to be provided for all Walla Walla Public Schools students and families throughout the 2021-22 school year. For elementary-aged students there is no expectation that families procure specific school supplies, cleaning/hygiene products, or other classroom materials for their child.

WE ALL BELONG HERE
Walla Walla Public Schools is a place where diversity of thought, belief, culture, sexual orientation, and ethnicity is honored and respected in a civil, safe and compassionate manner. Diversity in Walla Walla Public Schools continues to be regarded as a remarkable asset, one that provides a rich and glorious tapestry in the fabric of our educational program.

Diversity was acknowledged and formally adopted as one of the district’s core beliefs, and continues to inform and guide daily actions and decisions. The district’s primary mission has always been, and will continue to be, student safety and well-being while at school. Walla Walla Public Schools’ Board of Directors, administration, faculty and staff will always do everything in their power to ensure campuses reflect and support tolerance, respect, and civility as supported by its "We All Belong Here" campaign.
