Friday Family Message
Today, we are launching a brief survey to gather as many voices, opinions, and thoughts from throughout the community that will help us plan for and prioritize for the years ahead.
This annual survey was launched last year, and more than 1,300 responses helped us adjust our practices in several ways. Some of our adjustments, based on survey responses, include:
How we communicate with students, families, and the community
Where best to prioritize our investments in programs, services, and facilities
More closely aligning our strategic planning to the community’s needs
In addition to sparing a few moments to take the survey, please share the link widely throughout the community. The more responses, the better!
The survey should take about 10 minutes, and all results will be anonymous.
A reminder to please join us for an important community safety forum — Fentanyl Awareness Night.
This event will feature speakers who will touch on different aspects of how this potent new drug can impact students, families, and the community.
The free community event is at 6 p.m. Tuesday, March 12, at Stanwood High School.
Learn more about Fentanyl Awareness Night on our website.

Monica McDaniel, the lead teacher at Saratoga School, earned the Certificated Employee of the Month award for February. She was nominated by a parent who wrote that Mrs. McDaniel has been instrumental in the transition to a specialized education structure for their student.
“She has made us feel included in the Saratoga program with a flexible understanding to the challenges our circumstance. She has made it a priority to find ways of helping our child flourish in the unfamiliar classroom setting,” the parent wrote.
