INSERT PRINCIPAL WELCOME BACK TITLE HERE (i.e, Welcome back, Panthers!)

Dear Purdy Elementary Families,

It is with great excitement and deep gratitude that I welcome you to the 2025–26 school year at Purdy Elementary! I am honored to join this remarkable school community as your new principal and can already sense the warmth, pride, and strong partnership that define Purdy.

My name is Ty Robuck, and while this is my first year at Purdy, I bring with me over 16 years of experience as a school leader and 10 years as a classroom teacher. I have spent the last several years serving as the principal of Goodman Middle School here in the Peninsula School District, and I am thrilled to now be joining the Panther family.

One of the things I value most in education is the opportunity to build strong relationships with students, families, and staff. I believe that schools thrive when everyone feels seen, supported, and connected. As I begin this new chapter, my goal is to listen, learn, and lead in a way that honors the work already in motion while helping Purdy continue to grow and shine.

My wife and I are proud to raise our three children here in Gig Harbor, and I feel incredibly fortunate to serve the community that has given my own family so much. You’ll see me out front during arrival, at assemblies, and throughout the day. Please don’t hesitate to say hello!

I look forward to an amazing school year ahead and to getting to know each of you along the way.

Respectfully, 
Ty Robuck
Principal, Purdy Elementary School
