Tiger News from Principal Stilwell

Dear Garfield Families,

It seems Fall has arrived quickly—temperatures are cooling down! Please send your student to school with a jacket or sweater. If your child needs one, let me know and we’ll make sure they get it.
If your student needs a blue Garfield Tigers t-shirt, please contact the office and we’ll provide one.

We have a busy week ahead!

• Walking Club Monday, Wednesday and Friday

• Monday: PTA meeting @ 4pm in the Library

• Wednesday: PTA’s popular Game Night – we hope to see you there!

You’ll soon receive information about conference sign-ups. Please schedule this important time with your student’s teacher. Your partnership is key to your student's success!
If you need help signing up, stop by the office—our staff will be happy to assist you.

Warmly,
Kathy Stilwell
Principal

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.

If email is not possible, please call 425-385-4705 to report the absence. Please make sure there is an email or a written note within 30 days after your student returns to school.
