Orting Combined PTA

🫧Our PTA is looking for volunteers to help make Field Day an unforgettable day for our students — and we've got one of the most fun stations around: bubbles and frozen popsicles!
Here's where we need help:

📅 Orting Elementary — June 9
📅 Ptarmigan Ridge Elementary — June 16

If you're already an approved school district volunteer, we'd love to have you join us! It's a great way to connect with your school community and put a big smile on some kids' faces.

We are pleased to share that Allyson LaRosa-Flick has been selected as the next principal of Orting Elementary School, beginning in the 2026-27 school year.

Allyson shared: “I'm honored to be chosen to serve as your next principal! I'm coming to you after 14 years in the Kent School District in various roles as a 3-5th-grade teacher, librarian, academic interventionist, instructional coach, and assistant principal. I have a deep love for special education, both as an educator and as the parent of a student who receives special education services. I strongly value collaboration, shared leadership, and doing what is right for our kids, so that they can thrive as students and community members. I'm looking forward to partnering with you as we craft a vision and mission for Orting Elementary School."

We are grateful to the staff, families, and community members who participated in this process and provided thoughtful feedback.

Please join us in welcoming Allyson to OES!
