Monday, October 11th is crazy hair day

Wednesday, October 13th is vacation day (wear your favorite vacation attire)

Thursday, October 14th is fancy day (wear your very best clothes)

Friday, October 15th is school colors day (blue/yellow for Weyerhaeuser or blue/white for EHS)

During conference week, school will be dismissed at 11:30 am. There is no late start Wednesday on October 27th.

Watch for more information from your student's teacher on conferences.

It would be FANTASTIC to have 100% participation in parent/teacher conferences!

Each year we collect unopened boxes of cold cereal. The donated cereal is then placed by 5th graders in a domino formation and we let the boxes fall. After the "cereal dominoes" fall, they are donated to the Eatonville Family Agency for needy families. Last year we received about 300 boxes of donated cereal.

Let's see how many boxes of cereal we can donate this year.

We will start accepting cereal boxes during conference week.

The "cereal dominoes" will fall on December 17th.

Veteran's Day is quickly approaching!

We love and appreciate all of our Veterans.

To honor our Veterans, please submit a picture of any Veteran in your family to Mrs. Ames (l.ames@eatonville.wednet.edu).

Make sure to include the following:

• Veteran's name and branch of service
• Student's name (include WES siblings too)
• relationship to the student.

Please let the office know if your student needs an after school destination change before 1:30 p.m.

Thank you!

Thank you for your patience with the drop off and pick up lines.

Some reminders:

-There are 2 lanes after the stop sign

PLEASE send the covid test results to Mrs. Carey at j.carey@eatonvilleschools.org and wait for the nurse to respond before sending your student back to school.

Are you worried about your child's development?

-Does your child have a medical disorder or birth defect that interferes with their development?

-Does the child seem to have hearing or vision issues?

-Does your child have difficulty communicating with people outside the family?

-Does your child have difficulty keep up with other children their age?

-Does your child have concerning behaviors?

Any child, birth to five, whose family or caregivers would like more information about their child's development can contact the Eatonville School District to receive a FREE Child Find Screening.

What happens during a Child Find Screening?

-The purpose of a Child Find Screening is to identify issues that may affect your child's learning, growth and development and to help parents identify their child's strengths and weaknesses.

-During the screening, your child may stack small blocks, cut with scissors, draw, count, name colors, jump and have fun!

-After the screening, someone will talk with you about the results and you may be given suggestions, a referral for more testing or scheduled to have the skills rechecked at a later time. You will have the chance to ask any questions about your child's development. The whole process will take one hour.

Where can I get my child screened?

For more information and to schedule a screening in your school district, please contact: Eatonville School District, Student Services Office at 360-879-1800. If your family is living in a temporary situation, you may contact the district where you are currently staying for a screening.

WAC 393-172A-02040 School Districts shall conduct Child Find activities calculated to reach all students with a suspected disability for the purpose of locating, evaluating and identifying students who are in need of special education and/or related services, regardless of the severity of their disability
