We are super excited to see you on Saturday, June 15th for the HI-VIZ PT PTA Party. (From hunting gear to Barbie, all bright things count!).

In case you have not yet heard, there has been a venue change for the event. It is now at the USO at Fort Worden (thank you Fort Worden Hospitality for stepping up to help!). The USO is to the left as you reach the first intersection inside the park. You will drive past the Guardhouse and park just below the USO in the lot across from the McCurdy Pavilion.

If you have signed your child/children up to be watched at the Rec Center, please fill out this form if you have not yet done so.

Tell you friends that it is time to secure their tickets too! They can be purchased at: https://www.memberplanet.com/events/blueheronmiddlepta/hivizparty

Salish Coast Elementary's inaugural "Chess Fest" on Saturday, May 11th, was a triumphant showcase of youthful enthusiasm for the age-old game of chess. Over 28 bright-eyed elementary school students from grades 3-5, alongside their supportive families, gathered at the school grounds for a day of strategic maneuvers and friendly competition. Guided by their dedicated mentors from Skillmation, who nurtured their chess skills at school every Monday, the young contenders embarked on a journey of three challenging games: one with a familiar face, another with a stranger, and a final match purely for the joy of playing. Through this event, the aim was clear: to demonstrate to the Port Townsend community the depth of passion and joy these children find in the game of chess, fostering a spirit of camaraderie and intellectual growth among the participants. To top off the afternoon, all participants were delighted to come away with a small prize, a token of recognition for their dedication and sportsmanship.

The Wait Until 8th Campaign is designed to empower parents to rally together to wait to get smartphones for their kids. When parents sign the online pledge to Wait Until 8th grade (or longer!) to get a smartphone for their kids, it reduces the amount of social pressure put on those families. The goal is not to demonize the smartphone, but just to protect the last few years of childhood, and all those hours kids could spend doing other things. Wait Until 8th is a national campaign that we want to bring to our district. If you feel the need to get in touch with your kiddo and have communication tools, the Wait Until 8th website has many options for basic phones that only call and text. On June 13th, parents of students grades 3-5 will have the opportunity to hear more about the Wait Until 8th pledge, as well as hear from other parents, students, and even some high school staff about the trends they see when students grow up on a smartphone.

It's almost the end of our school year! Have a fun and safe summer! Remember to have kids wear sunscreen and helmets and check out these Summer Safety Tips from Seattle Children's Hospital.

Summer is a great time for a Well Child checkup with your student's doctor. Please make sure your student is up-to-date on their vaccinations and do any catch-up this summer!

Also, If your student has medication stored in the office, please come pick it up on the last day of class. Medications from this year cannot be stored over the summer.

Have a lovely summer and see you next year!
