Dear students, staff, families and community,
We started out this week with a bit of a challenge. The Pre-School, Junior High, High School, and District Office had sporadic power for the first half of the school day on Tuesday. Students and staff took this in stride and were able to engage in learning in a variety of creative ways including learning outside. A big thanks to our Maintenance Team and Puget Sound Energy for pinpointing the issue and restoring service in a timely manner.
All public schools must provide comprehensive sexual health education (CSHE) to all students by the 2022-23 school year (please see RCW 28A 300.475 for more details). In order to ensure that curriculum and instruction are comprehensive and in alignment with the law, a formal curriculum adoption process must occur. We are looking for school staff and community members who would like to serve on the task force. Community members should complete this application if interested. There will be a presentation about this process at the June 9 School Board Meeting at 6:00 p.m. You can attend board meetings in person or via zoom.
Congratulations to our Student Athletes who participated in the State Competitions for track. fastpitch softball, and golf! Our Lady Mountaineers Fastpitch Softball Team earned 4th in State.
