A Note from The Principal:
I wanted to let you know how proud I am of our students and staff and how they handled the situation we had on campus Tuesday morning. While we never want anything to happen, they handled it well, and got back to learning once the building was cleared. We are using this as a learning opportunity for all involved, from the District Office on down to the students. Thank you for your feedback and understanding during the day.
Mrs. Richter
A team of Enumclaw sixth-grade boys captured a state basketball championship by winning every game during a Spokane tournament. The squad, made up of students from both Enumclaw and Thunder Mountain middle schools, went 6-0 during the March 14-16 tourney.
Congratulations to both Timberwolves and Titans on the team!

This application is an annual state requirement for students who live outside of district boundaries.

For families who miss the March open enrollment dates, a second review of Choice Transfers will be available starting August 1 through the first day of school.

Please join us in celebrating March as Women's History Month. Women play a vital role in shaping our future, making up over 80% of the educators in the Enumclaw School District and making an impact in our community and beyond! Let us take a moment to appreciate the women who continue to inspire, nurture, and empower students every day.
March is Music in Our Schools Month
As families and community members, we often only see the results of student music performances; however, music educators dedicate themselves to working with students through practices and rehearsals, pushing students further. ESD is proud to honor our music, choir, band, and orchestra teachers and the impact they have daily. Learn more about the importance of music in schools at the National Association of Music Education https://nafme.org/
On April 22, voters in the Enumclaw School District will have the opportunity to consider a proposed $12 million capital levy. After almost a full year of research and meetings, the Facilities Oversight for Capital Utilization and Sustainability (FOCUS) Committee (comprised of 21 volunteer community members) presented its findings and recommendations to address pressing facility needs to the Enumclaw School District Board of Directors. As a result of their recommendation for a capital levy to address critical maintenance and secure building access as soon as possible, the Board of Directors approved a resolution to place this measure on the ballot to address critical maintenance needs across the district.
If approved, this levy will provide $3 million per year over four years (2026–2029) to fund urgent facility repairs, student health and safety improvements, and critical infrastructure needs such as roof replacements, HVAC systems, fire panels, and electronic access controls. A complete list of the proposed projects, tax impact details, and additional information and resources are available on our district website.
