Hello Cougar Parents and Guardians,

It's important to know how to stay informed regarding school late starts or closures.

• Check the main page of the Tukwila Schools website: https://tukwilaschools.org
• Sign up for Tukwila School District Flash Alerts at https://flashalert.net/id/TukwilaSD
• Watch or listen to local news sources for information. Some examples include:

King 5: https://www.king5.com/closings

Kiro 7: https://www.kiro7.com/weather/school-closings/

KOMO 4: https://komonews.com/weather/closings

We will also try to send Cougar Flash updates via this application and Talking Points as soon as we have information regarding late starts or closures.

Please remind your student(s) that toys are to be kept at home and not brought to school. We cannot be held responsible for missing or broken items brought from home. We know it's exciting to share favorite toys with friends but we don't want sad or upset students if something happens to their favorite toy. For this simple reason, please leave all toys at home. Thank you for your partnership.

Remember the Cougar Way:

Be Safe

Be Kind and

Go CV Cougars!

This is a reminder to please talk with your students about playground safety. We want recess to be a fun time, but there are rules that must be followed for the safety of everyone on the playground.

• There is no jumping off of the playground structures.
• Follow instructions of all staff and teachers on the playground.
• Pay attention to whistles when they are blown.
• There is to be no pushing or shoving on the playground.

We want everyone to be safe and have a lot of fun. We appreciate your partnership in talking with your students.

Remember the Cougar Way:

Be Safe

Be Kind and

Go CV Cougars!

If you are interested in volunteering at Cascade View, please go to our website https://www.tukwilaschools.org/get-involved/volunteer or click the button below to get started with the volunteer application process. Becoming an approved volunteer allows you to chaperone field trips, volunteer in your child's classroom and at various activities throughout the year.

We in the Tukwila School District acknowledge that the land where we teach, collaborate, learn and play is the traditional land of the first people of Seattle, the Duwamish and Muckleshoot people past and present and honor with gratitude the land itself and the Duwamish and Muckleshoot Tribes. As a public school district we have a responsibility for the stewardship of this land and we strive to work alongside the Duwamish and Muckleshoot people who have been living and working here since time immemorial.

We further acknowledge that the burden of environmental exploitation and systemic injustice falls upon the labor of black and brown bodies in the building of this country and its institutions. We remember that black and brown people were born and died working this land against their will for generations. We also acknowledge the continued contribution of the labor of survivors – over the centuries to today – of all immigrant labor, including voluntary, involuntary, trafficked, forced and undocumented peoples in the building of what we refer to as the United States.

As a school district leadership, we pledge to recognize and work against systems that have historically and currently enforce and create inequities among the people we serve.

Visit the Duwamish tribe website to find out ways you can stand with the Duwamish.
