Superintendents Message:

Welcome to the Payette School District. I am pleased to share our website that will give you important information and a brief snapshot of our schools. I invite you to learn more about our students and schools as you utilize the information presented here.

Our community has a rich heritage and diverse cultures. Our talented staff members are focused on successful learning outcomes for 1,700 students. We deeply believe in the potential of every student and we are committed to excellence in our work in order to assure that our students be academically proficient, socially capable, life-long learners.

We hold the core value of mutual respect to be essential to every interaction and we strongly encourage the parents of our community to become actively involved as partners in their children's education.

With diversity come numerous challenges and opportunities. Our District is engaged in a number of activities to raise student achievement, improve student health and wellness, increase the professional skills and knowledge of staff, increase the use of technology for instruction and learning, and develop meaningful partnerships. Test results and state reporting indicate that our student achievement is steadily improving and all schools are making positive strides. Over the last three years, we have adopted new materials in major subject areas including language arts, math and science.

Education plays a vital role in today's society and I am excited to be part of it. All children can learn, and all children deserve to be given the chance to reach their highest potential. If you have any questions that are not answered as you review this website, please contact us.
