2020-21 School Year: Remote Learning Edition
September 21-25, 2020
Remote Learning Week 3!
Students, Monday be looking for an email that will provide you with all our club and activity information during remote learning. We want to get you involved, and you don't have to wait for in-person instruction for you to be able to do that.
Last week we asked our Fife students to identify the one challenge in their life that if they can push through, persevere, and overcome, could lead to a major life accomplishment. Students as you think about your "mountain to climb," you don't need to think on a large scale... it can be small. Have you been engaging in class with comments and dialog? Taking the step to raise your hand, have your camera on, give commentary, and answer questions? If your struggling with remote learning, choosing to engage can enhance your remote learning experience significantly.
Have a great week!
Mr. Bakke

Returning Students
Returning students maintain their prior year’s free or reduced eligibility for the first 30 school days, or until a new application is processed. If a returning student does not have a new application processed by October 15, 2020, they will automatically be transferred to a paid account on the next school day. Families are responsible for any charges incurred.
Please notify Toni Barnett, Manager of Food Services (253.517.1000) if a returning student has a newly enrolled sibling so that we may extend the 30 school day eligibility to the new student. Families will still need to complete a new application to avoid any unnecessary charges.

Students can earn up to a maximum of 4 high school World Language credits. These credits will apply toward World Language high school graduation credits. Two (2) or more credits earned meet the college entrance requirement of most universities for the two years of world language.
