Tiger News from Principal Stilwell
Information and communication for Garfield Families
The Give and Grow Project was a tremendous success!
We’re incredibly grateful to Safran Cabin, Greenpoint, and the community partners involved for their generosity and hard work. Our students showed heartfelt appreciation through cards, songs, and thank-yous—the Safran employee volunteers were truly touched!
As a special gift, the volunteers left us a banner that will be proudly displayed at the front of the school, symbolizing how meaningful this experience was for everyone involved.
Photos and press releases from the district and Give and Grow will be shared later this week. The transformation of our campus reflects our vision for inclusive, joyful student experiences and highlights how welcoming and special Garfield truly is.

Please arrive 9:00 - 9:10 am at the front entrance if walking or getting a ride. Bus riders will be greeted at the bus entrance on Pine Street and brought to their lines. There is no supervision before 9:00 am so there are no students allowed on campus until 9:00 am. Teachers arrive to bring students to classrooms at 9:10 am so that learning begins at 9:15 am in our classrooms.
To ensure safety and efficiency during drop-off and pick-up, please follow these guidelines:
- Drop-Off: Stay in your vehicle. Have your child exit on the curbside (passenger side/right side) for safety.
- Pick-Up: Stay in your vehicle. Once you reach the pick-up zone, we will call your child to your car. They will enter on the curbside for safety.
If you need to get out of your car, please park in a designated parking area. Parking is available in the school parking lot or along adjacent streets (including 23rd adjacent to the school parking lot). Do not park in the carline including along the fence on 23rd or in the bus zone on Pine Street. All other areas are open for street parking.
Thank you for helping us keep our students safe and our traffic flow smooth!

We look forward to seeing your child at school every day. Regular school attendance is important, and we will work with you to ensure your child is present to benefit from an excellent education. If your child is absent, please email our attendance email address, gaeattendance@everettsd.org.
