Girls Volleyball

Congratulations to the Meadowdale and Lynnwood high school volleyball teams for a great showing at last week's State Volleyball Tournament in Yakima! After an impressive 12-2 regular season record, including playing for the District Championship, Meadowdale fought hard, but came up short against top 8 finishers North Thurston and Lake Washington on Thursday. Lynnwood defeated Auburn Riverside in the play-in game, came up short against 3rd place finisher Peninsula, then treated everyone in the Sun Dome to a thrilling upset of top-ranked Snohomish, defeating the panthers 3-2, with a score of 16-14 in the 5th set. Congrats to both teams on an amazing season!

With the launch of new websites, we thought it was a good time to rethink how we post and share our annual school performance reports and school improvement plans.

New and improved format!

Each school website has a new School Performance Report page that includes the school’s 2022-23 school improvement plan, Washington State report card information, school mission and building information.

Additionally, the district website provides a collection of links to each report:

School Performance Reports

If interested, attend a school tour soon to be eligible for the fall 2023 lottery

All district families are welcome to tour and enter into the lottery to attend either Madrona K-8 or Maplewood Parent Cooperative.

Madrona K-8 School

Madrona K-8 classrooms follow a multi-age structure. Primary and intermediate centers have two or three teachers who work with a group of students for three years. The middle school is also multi-age with seventh- and eighth-grade students working with a two-year curriculum. Families are actively involved and everyone in the community belongs to the Madrona Integrated Team (MIT).

When are the remaining tours prior to the lottery for the 2023-24 school year?

• 10-11 a.m., Dec. 13, 2022 (check in at the main office upon arrival).

Maplewood Parent Cooperative

Maplewood’s K-8 program is based on a cooperative model that utilizes the strengths and talents of its parent/family partners to provide enriching opportunities for students. Each family actively participates in learning and activities through the Parent Cooperative Education Program (PCEP) parent group.

When are the remaining tours prior to the lottery for the 2023-24 school year?

• 10 a.m., Dec. 7, 2022 – At Maplewood

• 10 a.m., Jan. 4, 2023 – At Maplewood

• 10 a.m., Jan. 18, 2023 – At Maplewood

• 7 p.m., Jan. 25, 2023 on Zoom

What is the lottery process?

Enrollment is open to students across the district, but there are a limited number of spots in each grade level. Priority is given to families who have a student already enrolled in schools. To enter the lottery, interested parents must attend a tour and complete the necessary paperwork. The kindergarten lottery takes place in mid February and drawing for all other grades is dependent on enrollment availability.

We are in need of substitute paraeducators and substitute bus drivers to support our students. As a substitute, you can choose when to work and which jobs to pick up.

These positions are a great way to explore the field of public education and support our students and come with proper training to set our substitutes up for success.

Substitute pay:

• Paraeducator: $20.81 - $22.06 an hour

• Bus driver: $31.92 an hour

Substitute benefits:

• If you work more than 630 hours you are eligible for medical, dental, and vision insurance as well as other benefits provided by the School Employees Benefits Board (SEBB) through the State of Washington.

• You accrue Washington State Paid Sick Leave while working.

Scriber Lake High School is a small, alternative learning high school of approximately 200 students within the Edmonds School District, geared towards students who:

• Have struggled or continue to struggle in their current school setting

• Would benefit from a smaller class size

• Would benefit from more one-on-one attention

• Are experiential learners

• Would benefit from careful monitoring of progress

• Could use a chance for a fresh start

Scriber Lake will host a virtual information meeting at 7 p.m Wednesday, Jan.4.

Students and families interested in attending Scriber Lake first need to attend the informational meeting before applying to attend. The goal of the meeting is to welcome students who are looking for a new and different approach to school.

To register for the meeting, please complete the form here.

Upcoming Zoom meetings (and school start date):

• Jan. 4 (Jan. 31 start date)

• March 8 (April 17 start date)
