Timberwolf Family News

This begins a busy season for Evergreen with events most evenings and multiple sports many afternoons as well. Please look at the calendar below for more information about the many activities available to Evergreen families.

If you have an 8th grader that will be going to Cascade High School next year, please join us this Thursday evening in the library (6:00-7:00PM) to learn more about the IB program beginning at CHS next year. This is a great opportunity for students to excel in high school and to prepare for college and career. Scroll down for more information!

We are all proud of our recent graduation rate of 96.3% which is a new high for the district! Every staff member in the district works hard to support students on their way to that cap and gown! Towards the end of the year, we will have grad walks where former Evergreen students graduating that year, come back in their caps and gowns and walk the halls to the cheers of our students. A great reminder of what is ahead for our students.

Enjoy your weekend!

Sincerely,

Sara Idle

If your student does not know, they can check with Mrs. Walker in the front office. Otherwise, students will receive hall passes during their 1st period class.

Missed the deadline for the 2025 WLA Test? No worries! Students are able to take the test 7-9 grade, so if interested sing up next year!

Best of luck to ALL Students! We wish you the best on your WLA Test 😊

Everett Public Schools uses the CNEEB form to determine which families qualify for Free & Reduced (F&R) meals.

The F&R Meals Application is more than just a lunch. Students who qualify for F&R meals may also be eligible to receive other benefits, including reduced ASB, sports, and AP exam fees, as well as a variety of benefits in their local communities. Certain school funding is also closely linked with student F&R meal rates.

Federal law requires all students to have access to meal applications, and Everett Public Schools encourages all families to apply for benefits, if they believe they are eligible. September is a critical time to connect with families seeking benefits, as district F&R rates are finalized in October. CNEEB Applications and informational post cards have been delivered to every school office. Families may also complete applications online by visiting www.myschoolapps.com.

The online application is available in seven languages.

Hello Timberwolf families,

Here is an attachment of food resources we have available in our local community!

Nicole Hoshock, Evergreen's Student Support Advocate puts a newsletter together that is

FULL of community resources.

Whether it is:

-Free grocery markets

-Cold weather shelters

-After school clubs

She has a WEALTH of information!!

If you do not find what you are looking for in the newsletter, please call the main office and ask for Nicole. She may have access to what you need!

All students in Everett Public Schools now have access to resources at both Everett Public Libraries and Sno-Isle Libraries, using a simple username and password for both. This partnership has expanded our students' access to ebooks, audiobooks, physical books, databases, and other digital resources.

This month, librarians will begin introducing the public library resources to students and helping them log in. It won't be all at once, but usernames and passwords will stay the same as long as the student is in the district. Please check with your school librarian for more information.

If you prefer to keep your student from accessing the public libraries, you can opt them out by filling out this form and returning it to your child's school

Seattle Children’s is happy to announce the opening Sept. 30 of a new Psychiatric Urgent Care Clinic, the first pediatric-focused psychiatric urgent care in Washington state. We hope you will share this information with your teams.

What: Same-day in-person and virtual (video) visits providing mental and behavioral health crisis assessment, initial treatment recommendations and referral to follow-up resources in the community. Care is provided by our experienced team of licensed mental health therapists, family advocates/case managers, psychiatric advanced practice providers (APPs) and medical assistants.

Who: Designed for youth ages 4 through 17 who are experiencing a mental health crisis and need same-day intervention but do not need the services of an emergency department (ED). We care for all Washington youth ages 4 through 17, including children and teens with autism and intellectual and developmental disabilities.

When: Open daily from noon to 8 p.m.; closed on major holidays.

Where: We see youth in person at Seattle Children’s Magnuson, located at 6901 Sand Point Way NE in Seattle, and through video visits from anywhere in Washington state. We recommend scheduling a same-day in-person appointment online or getting in the virtual line for a video visit. We have very limited capacity to see walk-ins and cannot guarantee walk-in access.

Please encourage families who live outside the Seattle area to use the virtual/video option. They must be physically in Washington state during the video visit.

How: Before scheduling a visit, learn whether to go to Psychiatric Urgent Care or an ED. A referral is not required.

• For in-person visits, schedule a same-day appointment online. (Scheduling opens at 12:01 am daily.)
• For video visits from anywhere in Washington state, get in the virtual line to be seen. (The first spots in virtual line open at 11:30 am daily.)
• Please note that spots in the virtual line will open up throughout the clinic day, please encourage youth and families to regularly check back for availability.
• Please note we have very limited capacity to see walk-ins and cannot guarantee walk-in access. Please encourage patients/families to schedule an in-person appointment online or get in the virtual line to be seen for a video visit.

Why: This new service – the first of its kind in the Washington, Alaska, Montana and Idaho region – is part of Seattle Children’s ongoing commitment to building out the continuum of care to ensure children and teens receive the right level of care at the right time. Psychiatric Urgent Care is intended to connect children and teens in Washington state to faster crisis assessment and follow-up resources in the community.

Please note that patients seen in the Psychiatric Urgent Care Clinic will not access other outpatient psychiatry services at Seattle Children’s faster than those referred through the normal process.

One way to get involved is to volunteer. We have many different opportunities for families to volunteer. Here are some ways you could get involved:

• Join Natural Leaders or the PTA
• Read aloud to students in book groups
• Help students study their math facts
• Supervise games at recess or during lunch
• Welcome students to school in the morning
• Help out in the student store during one lunch or more

There are many other ways to help out as well. If you are curious, please let us know by getting in touch with our main office staff at 425-385-5700 or by completing this form.

Our students benefit from family involvement!
