Message from Principal Stilwell
Dear Garfield Families,
We’re looking forward to seeing you at conferences on Monday and Tuesday—thank you for your continued partnership! While you’re here, be sure to stop by the library for the Book Fair. It was wonderful seeing so many of you at our after-school book checkout on Thursday—this will now happen monthly on the last Thursday of each month as we continue to grow our community of readers.
Please note: Friday, November 7 is an early release day at 1:00 p.m. due to conferences. We’ll also celebrate our October Tiger Pride with an assembly that morning at 9:30 a.m.
Thank you for all you do to support our school. And don't forget to share your smile!
In gratitude,
Kathy Stilwell
Principal

Parking Lot Reminders
Thank you, Garfield Families, for helping make this one of our smoothest starts to the year in the parking lot! As we move into the darker months, please keep these safety reminders in mind so everyone can arrive and leave safely.
- Move Slowly- Please drive slowly through the parking lot and the pick-up/drop-off lane.
- Use the Pick- Up and Drop-Off- Use the designated pick-up and drop-off area when dropping off or picking up your student by car. This helps keep traffic flowing smoothly.
- Park in the Parking Lot- If you need to park, please use a parking space in the lot. Try not to use the lot itself as a pick-up or drop-off zone. If no spaces are available, please continue through the lot and loop back around. This helps keep cars moving and opens spots for others.
Thank you for helping make Garfield a safe and welcoming place for all our families!
Attendance Matters: If you show - you grow!
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.
