To all Pioneer Union School District Parents of Students in Grades Preschool through 3rd:
Walt Tyler Elementary School is located in Grizzly Flats on United States Forest Service land. The school originally opened serving grades kindergarten through three. It was expanded to serve transitional kindergarten through grade five to accommodate parent, student, and district needs. This year Walt Tyler Elementary School served transitional kindergarten through third grade, next year it will serve transitional kindergarten through fourth grade. In an effort to return Walt Tyler Elementary School to a TK-5 school, we are continuing to provide opportunities for any TK-4 district student to attend Walt Tyler Elementary School.
