Lunch Service Schedule Change Effective Monday, April 27
The Darrington School District continues to explore ways to best serve our community and to keep everyone safe during the COVID-19 pandemic. To improve our social distancing efforts and to be as efficient as possible, we are changing our lunch pick-up schedule:
Starting Monday, April 27, in-town lunch pick-up will take place from 11:45-12:15 at Old School Park by the picnic area. Bus route drop-offs will continue as scheduled.
I appreciate the patience of our community and our staff as we continue to find ways to improve our service to our students and the Darrington community.
Stay well,

Be the Light
Be the Light
The COVID-19 school closure put a halt to spring sports and many end of year traditions. Darrington School District wants our students to know that we are still thinking of them and that they are not forgotten. We will turn on our stadium lights this Friday at 8:20 PM to honor the Class of 2020, our spring athletes, and all of our Darrington students. Per state regulations, the field and school grounds are closed to the public. Please do not park, loiter, or put yourself or others at risk during this event.
