Timberwolf Family News

We are heading into a busy season for students as they begin choosing classes for next year. Please check in with your students to see what their schedule requests are for this coming fall. We will do everything we can in order to accommodate all schedule requests.

This coming Wednesday, March 11th, we will have our annual multicultural night (Evergreen Roots). This is a fun event for the whole family. We will have many multicultural performers and food to enjoy. The event is in our cafeteria and it runs from 5:30-7:00pm.

As well, our 8th grade students will each have an appointment with staff from their high school on March 12th. These are 15 minute appointments to review their course requests and make any needed changes. Parents and guardians are encouraged to attend these meetings. You should have received an invitation if your child is going on to either Everett HS or Cascade HS. Please know that these appointments are tightly scheduled so plan on arriving a little early for your time slot.

Our chocolate fundraiser is going great. We have some students really selling candy! Thank you so much families for supporting this fundraiser. We appreciate you!

We are beginning to plan for our upcoming SBA testing that begins at the end of April. This is an opportunity for our students to shine! We are very excited about students showing what they learned this year and in preceding years.

When we work together, we create opportunities for our students.

Enjoy your weekend.

Sincerely,

Sara

Everett Public Schools will support the nutrition needs of students who do not receive a school

lunch during the day due to participating in traditional Ramadan fasting. OSPI has received a

waiver from the USDA to allow accommodations for meals during Ramadan.

From Monday, February 23 through Friday, March 20, students who are not able to eat lunch

are eligible to receive a meal that can be taken home and eaten after sundown.

Offered meals will be vegetarian and comply with Halal dietary guidelines. Students who are

eligible for free meals may request a take home lunch at no cost. Students who are not eligible

for free meals, and other students who receive a second lunch, will be charged $3.90.

For families celebrating Ramadan this season who would like to request a meal be available for

their student, please fill out a short interest survey by clicking the link below:

We are excited to inform you about the upcoming Dental Smile Check Program at Evergreen Middle School provided by the CHC. The goal of this program is to introduce and make dental care simple, convenient, and stress-free so students can stay healthy and be focused on school. All students are eligible for this program, there is no income or other eligibility requirements.

To sign up for this amazing opportunity submit a completed consent form before March 13th, 2026 to the school nurse. Consent forms can be found at the link in the QR code below, or follow the following url: https://chcsno.jotform.com/252245783447060. Paper consent forms are also available in the health room.

Program Overview

• On the scheduled day, students with signed consent forms will have a CHC dental professional provide an on-site dental screening.
• During the screening, the overall health of the student’s mouth, including teeth, gums, tongue, cheeks, and other soft tissues will be assessed to identify any signs of disease, decay, or other issues.
• There is no out-of-pocket cost, regardless of whether your student has insurance or not. If insurance is provided, they will bill accordingly, however, there is no cost to families.
• All screened students will receive a Dental Exam Results’ card to share the findings and let you know if additional treatment is recommended.
• If your student has cavities or needs further care, CHC staff will contact you, the parent/guardian, for prompt follow-up. For families without a dentist, we can assist in setting up care at one of the CHC clinics.

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

Services available 24/7!

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.

The January edition of our district's newsletter is available and full of needed information ahead of this new month. Please CLICK HERE to access this month's district news.
