Starting in February, the PTSA will be sponsoring a spring session of afterschool Pickleball club on Tuesdays for students 3rd grade and up.
Sign up your student here:
PTSA Pickleball Club Sign Up Grade 3 and Up. Tuesdays, Feb 10 to March 31, 2026 – Fill out form
We have a few needs for the optimal club success:
- Help with striping the Gym floor with tape for 1 of the 3 courts.
- We need one or two adult helpers to stay during club.
- You do NOT need to know how to play pickleball and you are guaranteed a good time 😊 Contact Megan at mslaker@everettsd.org if you can help with either or both of these.
- Students will learn forehand, backhand, serve, volley, dink, and court etiquette. At the beginning of each session, there will be a quick lesson followed by a few drills and then full-court play. Students need to wear tennis-type shoes, comfortable clothes, and bring a water bottle.
- We look forward to having your student join us!
In the event of severe weather, power outages, or other emergencies, Everett Public Schools may adjust schedules to ensure the safety of students and staff. Using multiple communication methods, we aim to inform families and staff about schedule changes by 5:30 a.m. We will post any school closure or delay decision on the district website as soon as it is made.
