Shew's News

Dear Rainiers,

Thinking back to last week's baseball analogy, we are on first base. We are staying focused. We know that this upcoming week will take energy to finish up some big assignments and put everything in order. Thanks, parents, for being there to cheer the students on. Remember to come by to get a lunch, as our players need to stay fueled. We serve lunch from 12:00-1:00.

In observance of Memorial Day there will not be virtual school on Monday, May 25th. Teachers will email their weekly lesson plans on Tuesday, May 26th. Please take time to enjoy the four day weekend. Hopefully you can unplug from the virtual world for a few days.

Sincerely,

Allison Shew

Principal

Students with medication left at their home school prior to the closure will have an opportunity to have their parent collect their medication this June. Friday, June 5th parents may visit the following locations based on their child’s school to drive-thru to take home medications for the summer.

• Columbia Crest 9:00a.m.-11:00a.m. on June 5th.

• Eatonville Elementary will be the site all other families from WES, EHS, EMS and EES will collect medication from 12:00-2:00 on June 5th.

Families will have the opportunity to gather their child's belongings next month. During this time students will be able to take home gym shoes, school supplies, school work, artwork, etc. In addition, supplies students need to return will be collected including library books, textbooks and other school equipment checked out to students prior to the closure.

Upon arrival you will remain in your vehicle. You will drive up near the front entry and will be greeted by a staff member. Please inform the staff member the names/grades of the students you need to collect items for. If you have an item to return to the school such as a textbook, library book or gym equipment please hand those items off to the staff member working with you. They will ensure the items are delivered to the proper location.

We are in need of gym shoes. If you would like to donate your child's gym shoes to the school, please alert the staff member greeting you.

All five Eatonville School District schools will be open on the following dates and time frames based on the student’s last name:

• Last names A-I: Wednesday, June 10th from 10:00a.m. - 3:00p.m.

• Last names J-R: Thursday, June 11th from 10:00a.m. - 3:00p.m.

• Last names S-Z: Friday, June 12th from 10:00a.m. - 3:00p.m.

If families are unable to come during the assigned time, please contact Principal Shew to arrange an alternative time. You may email me at a.shew@eatonvilleschools.org

Chromebooks may not be returned to our school.

ALL COMPUTERS and CHARGERS NEED TO BE RETURNED TO EATONVILLE ELEMENTARY! THE CONTRACT EACH FAMILY SIGNED WILL BE AVAILABLE AND TAKEN CARE OF AT THIS SITE ONLY.

Eatonville Elementary 209 Lynch Creek Rd E, Eatonville, WA 98328

A robo call will go out to families in June as a friendly reminder.

Families who have a Chromebook checked out will need to check-in the device and charger at Eatonville Elementary School at 209 Lynch Creek Rd E, Eatonville, WA 98328. Please note the device must be returned to this location, not your child’s home school due to cataloging purposes. Device return will follow the same schedule as the supply return.

Lost and Found items will be on display in the parking lot of each school site on tables (weather permitting) during the June 10, 11 and 12 dates. Please practice social distancing protocols when looking for a lost item. You may look for items during the assigned time and day based on your child’s last name.

If your child has an issue with their Chromebook, please reach out to your child’s teacher. The teacher will initiate an “IT Help Ticket.” The help ticket is sent to the district’s technology department to begin troubleshooting the issue.

Teachers are required to take weekly attendance. Homeroom teachers are tracking attendance through interactions with parents (Preschool-2nd Grade) and with students (3rd-12th Grade). These interactions may include emails, Google Hangouts, text, call, etc.

As a reminder, every school day throughout the closure we will provide grab-and-go meals for all children 0-18, and special education students up to the age of 21. . For the week of May 25th hot lunches will be served on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Children no longer need to be present to receive meals; just alert us how many meals you need. We need families to remain in their vehicles. Meal Service is near the front entrance of these schools:

• Eatonville Middle School 11:00-12:00

• Weyerhaeuser Elementary School 11:30-12:30

• Columbia Crest A-STEM Academy 12:00-1:00
