🎉Thank you PTSA for this great event🎉

Below is the cover to last year's yearbook.

Our yearbook team is gearing up to create something truly special this year—but we can’t do it alone. We’re looking for a few creative volunteers to help us capture the school year by taking photos at events and sorting images for the yearbook.

If you’re interested or curious, I'd love to hear from you. Come help us make something our students will treasure for years to come! Contact me at mslaker@everettsd.org or stop by the PGS Office.

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.
