While we understand that families rely on cell phones to stay connected, Washington State is moving toward statewide restrictions on cell phone use in classrooms, and our school will continue to follow this direction to support student learning. To maintain a focused and productive learning environment, students are expected to keep all cell phones, earbuds, and other personal electronic devices out of sight, on silent, and stored in their backpacks during instructional time. Student use of personal electronic devices is permitted only during lunchtime.
If you have any questions about these expectations, please contact the school office.
Additional information regarding Fall Picture Day and picture ordering will be shared after school begins.
We are excited to welcome everyone back and are committed to creating a safe, supportive, and engaging learning environment where every student can thrive. Thank you for your continued partnership and support. Together, we look forward to making the 2026–2027 school year a great one!
We hope you enjoy the remainder of your summer, and we can't wait to see everyone soon!
