Elger Bay Elementary School

Every student in the Stanwood-Camano School District is empowered to learn in an inclusive setting and is prepared for the future of their choice.

Elger Bay Families,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to inform you of some important changes to our schedule for this week and to remind you of an upcoming event.

Firstly, please note that this week we will have a very different schedule due to spring conferences. On Wednesday, which is typically our late start day, we will instead have a regular start time of 9:00 and an early release at 12:00. Additionally, Thursday and Friday will also be early release days at 12:00 to accommodate spring conferences.

Furthermore, I would like to remind you about our much-anticipated spring music performance. This event will take place on Wednesday, with performances scheduled as follows:

- Kindergarten to 2nd-grade classes will perform at 10:00 AM.

- 3rd to 5th-grade classes will perform at 11:00 AM.

Thank you for your attention to these important schedule changes and for your continued support of our school community. Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Warm regards,

Tim Dickinson

Principal

We're still hoping more community members take our annual Community Survey.

Your voice truly helps us plan for and prioritize for the years ahead as we adjust our practices in several ways to meet the needs of our students, staff, families, and community!

To keep everyone safe on school buses and to abide by state law, please follow these guidelines while on a bus:

• All items — such as sports equipment, instruments, and metal water bottles — must be completely secured inside of a closed bag or instrument case.

• The bus is considered an extension of the school day, and students are expected to behave in a way that is consistent with school/classroom expectations.

For example, items such as bats, lacrosse sticks, tennis rackets, and Stanley water bottles must be secured inside a closed bag while on a school bus.

There are no exceptions to these rules and regulations, per WAC 392-145-021 (Washington State Administrative Code) and School Board policy.

We appreciate your help in making sure that our students continue to stay safe on the bus and following state law so our school buses remain in service.
