Website Support

Our website is compatible with most modern browsers. However, we highly recommend using Chrome, Firefox, or Safari for easier navigation.

We also use Google Drive to house our Early Learning Program Manual and other materials. The latest versions of Google Drive are compatible with these operating systems and browsers.

See our Accessibility Statement for more information.

Due to how the website platform is programmed, search results may tell you where something lives, but you might not get direct links to documents. Here are two ways you can search instead:

Please reach out to a member of your Site Support Team to discuss your needs.

This issue most often occurs in Microsoft Edge. If that is the browser you use, refresh and try again. If the issue persists, try any or all the following:

• Try another browser. We highly recommend using Chrome, Firefox, or Safari to easily navigate through our website.
• Click the download icon found on the upper right corner and open the document from your Downloads folder.
• Restart your device.
• Look at your Wi-Fi connection and make sure it's up and running.
• Try resetting your Internet network settings.
• Make sure your device's operating system is running the latest version.
• Clear the cache and cookies.
• Try an incognito/private window (Ctrl + Shift + P).

Transcripts: Transcripts are required for Head Start/Early Head Start Teachers, Teacher Assistants, Family Support roles, and Home Visitors. If the position is none of these, you can bypass the requirement by uploading a blank Word or PDF doc. See Staff, Volunteers, and Subs for more information.

• Internal PSESD Early Learning staff (Renton/Puyallup office) are not required to upload a transcript, even if their salaries are allocated from Head Start/Early Head Start funds. You can bypass the requirement by uploading a blank Word or PDF doc.

Portable Background Check: This is required for all positions funded by HS/EHS/ECEAP. See Staff, Volunteers, and Subs for more information.

• ECEAP Only: Please complete and upload a Staff Member Safety Plan if a PBC is not yet complete.

Check out ELPM Directory and Updates! This document lists all current ELPM documents, where they live, when they were revised and published, and what changes were made (if any). Most recent updates are highlighted in orange. If you are looking for something specific, press Ctrl + F (to find) and type in keywords.

Revised dates are also noted at the bottom of every form and procedure.

We understand that downloadable and fillable Word forms may create a barrier for families, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. PSESD Early Learning manages a large number of forms and has been working to maintain compliance with Section 508. At this time, we have decided to have fillable PDFs for Program Administration, and have fillable Word forms for other sections. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Some of our forms are completed directly through our website. Visit Forms Library for a list of these forms.

Please let us know through our feedback form! We do our best to ensure accuracy on our website, but sometimes human error does occur. Thanks for your patience!

You do not need to request access to complete fillable Word or Excel forms. These should automatically download, or you'll be prompted to open or save the file.

Please note that Word and Excel forms are still password-protected. Staff and families must click "Enable Editing" and are limited to typing in specific fields.

Google Preview changes the look of some documents (specifically Word documents) and there currently is no known fix for this issue. This is not how the document really looks. Downloading/saving it will show accurate page numbers and formatting.

Check out our Staff Directory! Our directory is divided into our four Site Support Teams (A, B, C, and D). Each Team includes contact information for all PSESD Early Learning staff, their roles, and the work they are responsible for.

Still not sure? Visit the Contact Us page for our general phone numbers and content-specific email addresses.
