Family Belonging Survey
At Yelm Community Schools, we value our partnership with families. It is important that all families experience a sense of belonging in our schools. Please complete the survey to help us understand your perspective of your experience at Southworth Elementary. The survey will be available from November 1-30. You are welcome to complete a separate survey for each campus where you have a student. Thank you for taking the time to provide us with this feedback. Southworth Family Belonging Survey.
Watch Dogs
Our Southworth Stars need you! We are looking to restart our Watch DOGS program with our wonderful dads, uncles, grandfathers and male caregivers! Please be sure that your volunteer status is current for this year, or apply online with Yelm Community Schools here. Please contact Ms. Holmes at kimberly_holmes@ycs.wednet.edu for more information.
Healthroom Needs
If your student gets sick at school, we try to have clean clothes for them to barrow/change into for the ride home. (We always appreciate borrowed clothes being returned.)
If you have cloths (shirts, pants, shorts) that your student has outgrown, is in good condition and would like to donate, our healthroom is looking for donations. We also can use new size 5-8 underwear for boys and girls. Thank you!
