Hello Garfield Families,

Food bags are coming home with students today. We need these bags returned on Monday for the following Friday. If anyone is interested and has not filled out a form contact the office at 425-385-4700 or there are forms in the front office.

Thank you

Jonathan Johnson

Family Support Advocate

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.

If you are unable to join us for Back-to-School night and need school supplies please come to the office and we will make sure you get all you need.

Backpacks and school supplies have been generously donated to Garfield from the Everett Public Schools Foundation Stuff the Bus events so that we may provide all of our students with the supplies they need. We are so grateful to be able to provide for our Tigers so they launch the school year ready to go. Thank you EPSF!

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!

Reminder about Dogs on Campus

Dear Parents and Guardians,

For the safety and comfort of all students, staff, and families, we kindly remind you that dogs are not allowed on school grounds during arrival and dismissal times. While we understand that pets are part of the family, having dogs on campus can create safety concerns, including allergies, fears, and unexpected interactions with children.

To ensure a smooth and safe environment for everyone, please keep your furry friends at home or pick them up after dropping off your child. If you walk your child to school with a dog, please remain off school property.

We appreciate your cooperation in following these guidelines and helping us maintain a safe and welcoming space for all students. Thank you for your understanding and support!

If you have any questions, feel free to contact the school office.

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 5 days after your student returns to school.
