Most people who succeed in the face of seemingly impossible conditions are people who simply don’t know how to quit.

You will be asked to supply social security numbers for each of your eligible dependents; please have that information readily available prior to starting this process.  If your spouse/domestic partner is also an employee of the district, both are required to complete this process. Please list all eligible dependents on both employee online accounts.

Eligible dependents include:

·   Spouse – the person who is currently your legal spouse

·   Same and Opposite Sex Domestic Partner – your domestic partner if you meet all of the eligibility requirements outlined in the Affidavit of Domestic Partnership

·    Child, Stepchild or the Child of Your Domestic Partner – if the child is your natural or legally adopted child, your stepchild, the child of your domestic partner or a child placed in your home for adoption; or if the child resides with you or you are legally responsible for providing their health care under the terms of a divorce decree or Qualified Medical Child Support Order (QMSO); or if the child has not reached the age of 26 or is totally or permanently disabled and the disability began prior to the end of the calendar year in which he or she turned age 26.

Puyallup Public Library launches

2014 Summer Reading Program for Children!  Fizz, Boom, Read!

Experiment and explore a good book this summer! Officially, summer reading begins June 16 and will run through August 16.  Readers from babies through 12 years old will celebrate “Fizz, Boom, Read!” with music, pattern recognition, robots, flying gizmos, baseball, and so much more.  The 2014 summer reading program is open to young people of all abilities, even toddlers and preschoolers can participate if an adult reads aloud to them.  There will be separate summer reading programs for teens and adults. 

Designed to keep young people reading during the long hot days of summer, this summer reading program offers fun incentives to help children maintain their reading skills.  All children who spend time reading, listening to an audio book, or being read to, can track their minutes online to enter drawings for great prizes and free goodies at local retailers.  Plus, every child who reads (or is read to) at least 15 hours this summer will get a FREE book and a ticket to Northwest Trek/Pt. Defiance Zoo & Aquarium.  The summer reading program at the Puyallup Public Library is generously funded by the Friends of the Puyallup Library and many local businesses.  For more information call 253-841-5454 or visit our website at www.puyalluplibrary.org.

The librarian will be coming to Spinning on 5/29 to speak with students during lunch about the summer programs at the library.
