Showing up to school every day makes a big difference. When kids are in class, they’re learning new skills, building friendships, and staying connected to their teachers and school community. Missing just two days of school a month—whether excused or not—can add up quickly and make it harder to keep up in reading, lead to academic struggles, and even increase the risk of not graduating later on. We also know there are times when kids aren’t feeling well, and that’s when it’s important to make the right call. To help with those decisions, check out our “Too Sick for School?” poster for assistance: WSVSD Too Sick for School?

October is Disability History and Awareness Month in Washington, a time to increase awareness, respect, and acceptance for people with disabilities, and to celebrate the pride and contributions of the disability community. Throughout the month, our students will engage in classroom activities designed to build understanding and strengthen inclusivity. We encourage families to learn more by exploring the resources in this Disability Awareness guide.

Cold & Wet Weather
Remember, cold weather is upon us, please send your student to school with a hat, gloves, boots and coat. We will be going outside.

Also, sending an extra change of clothes in their backpack would be appreciated.
