Timberwolf Family News

Dear Families,

We had such a great week with your wonderful kiddos! The transition to middle school can be a tough one and our 6th graders are doing a tremendous job of getting used to the routines, finding their classes, and generally, being successful in their learning.

For our 7th and 8th grade students, Student Conductor will begin tracking tardies next week as they are well acquainted with classroom locations and transition times. For our 6th grade students, we want to provide them a bit more time to adjust to all the transitions.

There have been some schedule shifts for some students as we customize schedules and balance classes. Thank you for your patience as these are completed. If there is a concern with your child's schedule, please reach out to our school counselors for support. Scroll down for more information.

If you have thought at all about volunteering for PTS, please consider joining. Our students deserve the very best experiences and PTA provides a lot of those experiences including movie nights, hot chocolate and cookies before winter break, Bingo/Loteria nights, and grants for classrooms. PTA also hosts the 8th grade dance and provides all the food, games, decorations, and the DJ for that very important dance. Please consider joining.

If you have any questions or you have a concern, please reach out to your admin team. We are here in service to your child/ren.

Sincerely,

Sara Idle

Dear Students and Families,

I would like to take the opportunity to welcome each and every one of you to our outstanding school this fall. I am honored to be in this role for the sixth year in a row and fulfill dreams of mine. This is a place that feels like home!

There are so many opportunities for students to enhance their skillset, have fun and connect with their peers due to a variety of clubs, activities, and schoolwide celebrations. Our Associated Student Body, or ASB, includes engagement ranging from the tech-oriented Game On Club, to our Drama Club that sells out shows every spring. We also hold several affinity groups that are open to ALL students, including our Latinx Student Union and Black Student Union. We have an activity bus that takes students home who stay after school for clubs and a sports bus for athletes. It is my sincere hope that all clubs and organizations will have an advisor by the start of the school year.

I am passionate about providing our pupils with a world class education – all of them – inside and outside of the classroom! That is where you – parents and guardians – come in partnership with our school. Every November, we honor our country’s veterans, and we’d love to invite anyone who has served in the military – no matter what country – to attend our Veteran’s Day celebration in November. In the spring, we celebrate the diversity of Evergreen by holding a Multicultural Night filled with good food, fun and entertainment. It is essential that our youth see the adults in their lives being recognized, honored and showered with appreciation.

Finally, we could always use your support, ingenuity and creativity by joining PTA and Natural Leaders. Many executive positions are available this school year, and this is a great way to get involved in our school community and ensure your voice is heard.

I look forward to continued and authentic partnerships with our students, families and greater community,

In Community,

Dr. Monica Haule

Everett Public Schools uses the CNEEB form to determine which families qualify for Free & Reduced (F&R) meals.

The F&R Meals Application is more than just a lunch. Students who qualify for F&R meals may also be eligible to receive other benefits, including reduced ASB, sports, and AP exam fees, as well as a variety of benefits in their local communities. Certain school funding is also closely linked with student F&R meal rates.

Federal law requires all students to have access to meal applications, and Everett Public Schools encourages all families to apply for benefits, if they believe they are eligible. September is a critical time to connect with families seeking benefits, as district F&R rates are finalized in October. CNEEB Applications and informational post cards have been delivered to every school office. Families may also complete applications online by visiting www.myschoolapps.com.

The online application is available in seven languages.

We have only 50 FREE tickets to hand out to families of students who go Evergreen Middle School.

If you come by the front office and request a free ticket to the WA state fair and you are one of the first 50 students, we will gladly provide it to you!

Attached is the link with more details about the fair! Have a bit of your last summer fun before it's gone!

GET INVOLVED

It’s not too late! Joining the PTA is simple and only $10 for the year! It’s an affordable way to show your support for our school even if you can't volunteer or join a committee.

To join, simply scan the QR code below with your smartphone to sign up via Givebacks:

All students in Everett Public Schools now have access to resources at both Everett Public Libraries and Sno-Isle Libraries, using a simple username and password for both. This partnership has expanded our students' access to ebooks, audiobooks, physical books, databases, and other digital resources.

This month, librarians will begin introducing the public library resources to students and helping them log in. It won't be all at once, but usernames and passwords will stay the same as long as the student is in the district. Please check with your school librarian for more information.

If you prefer to keep your student from accessing the public libraries, you can opt them out by filling out this form and returning it to your child's school

Hello Timberwolf families,

Here is an attachment of food resources we have available in our local community!

Nicole Hoshock, Evergreen's Student Support Advocate puts a newsletter together that is

FULL of community resources.

Whether it is:

-Free grocery markets

-Cold weather shelters

-After school clubs

She has a WEALTH of information!!

If you do not find what you are looking for in the newsletter, please call the main office and ask for Nicole. She may have access to what you need!

Seattle Children’s is happy to announce the opening Sept. 30 of a new Psychiatric Urgent Care Clinic, the first pediatric-focused psychiatric urgent care in Washington state. We hope you will share this information with your teams.

What: Same-day in-person and virtual (video) visits providing mental and behavioral health crisis assessment, initial treatment recommendations and referral to follow-up resources in the community. Care is provided by our experienced team of licensed mental health therapists, family advocates/case managers, psychiatric advanced practice providers (APPs) and medical assistants.

Who: Designed for youth ages 4 through 17 who are experiencing a mental health crisis and need same-day intervention but do not need the services of an emergency department (ED). We care for all Washington youth ages 4 through 17, including children and teens with autism and intellectual and developmental disabilities.

When: Open daily from noon to 8 p.m.; closed on major holidays.

Where: We see youth in person at Seattle Children’s Magnuson, located at 6901 Sand Point Way NE in Seattle, and through video visits from anywhere in Washington state. We recommend scheduling a same-day in-person appointment online or getting in the virtual line for a video visit. We have very limited capacity to see walk-ins and cannot guarantee walk-in access.

Please encourage families who live outside the Seattle area to use the virtual/video option. They must be physically in Washington state during the video visit.

How: Before scheduling a visit, learn whether to go to Psychiatric Urgent Care or an ED. A referral is not required.

• For in-person visits, schedule a same-day appointment online. (Scheduling opens at 12:01 am daily.)
• For video visits from anywhere in Washington state, get in the virtual line to be seen. (The first spots in virtual line open at 11:30 am daily.)
• Please note that spots in the virtual line will open up throughout the clinic day, please encourage youth and families to regularly check back for availability.
• Please note we have very limited capacity to see walk-ins and cannot guarantee walk-in access. Please encourage patients/families to schedule an in-person appointment online or get in the virtual line to be seen for a video visit.

Why: This new service – the first of its kind in the Washington, Alaska, Montana and Idaho region – is part of Seattle Children’s ongoing commitment to building out the continuum of care to ensure children and teens receive the right level of care at the right time. Psychiatric Urgent Care is intended to connect children and teens in Washington state to faster crisis assessment and follow-up resources in the community.

Please note that patients seen in the Psychiatric Urgent Care Clinic will not access other outpatient psychiatry services at Seattle Children’s faster than those referred through the normal process.

One way to get involved is to volunteer. We have many different opportunities for families to volunteer. Here are some ways you could get involved:

• Join Natural Leaders or the PTA
• Read aloud to students in book groups
• Help students study their math facts
• Supervise games at recess or during lunch
• Welcome students to school in the morning
• Help out in the student store during one lunch or more

There are many other ways to help out as well. If you are curious, please let us know by getting in touch with our main office staff at 425-385-5700 or by completing this form.

Our students benefit from family involvement!
