We wish you and your family a wonderful Mid-winter Break, and we will see your students back in class on Monday, February 23rd.

The Calendar list at the end of the newsletter has been updated.  New/Updated entries are highlighted for two weeks.

Our district is currently working on a major information system upgrade: transitioning from Skyward SMS 2.0 to Skyward Qmlativ ("New Skyward") in February 2026. This system update is required and promises enhanced functionality across key areas of student information, payroll, finance, and human resources.

This project represents a significant undertaking for our district. For the past year, the district office and departments, including Business Office, Technology, and Human Resources, have been involved in planning and preparation.

Many families use Family Access through Skyward to view their student's lunch account, grades, attendance, discipline, and more.

Below are important dates related to student and Family Access through Skyward:

February 2, 2026: New student online enrollment will be paused until February 28, 2026. Online enrollment applications will need to be submitted before February 2, 2026, or after February 28, 2026.

February 9-22, 2026: Student/Family Access will be inactivated on Monday, February 9, 2026. All Skyward systems will be offline from Monday, February 9, 2026, to February 22, 2026, for migration.

February 23, 2026: We are expected to go live with “New Skyward” on Monday, February 23, 2026, at the start of the school day.

Skyward Mobile App Users

All Users: The Skyward mobile app will be inactivated for all users (staff, families, and students) on Monday, February 9, 2026, at 8 AM.

Attempts to log in to the app after this time will result in an error.

The mobile app will be available once we are live in Qmlativ, “New Skyward” on Monday, February 23, 2026.

Instructions for configuring your account in the app after the update will be made available on the district’s website and sent out to families as our go-live date approaches. (Users cannot configure the app prior to February 23, 2026.)

REMINDER: Mid-Winter Break is February 16-20, 2026. All education buildings will be closed during that time. The District Office will be closed on Monday, February 16, 2026, in honor of Presidents' Day.

At the beginning of each school year, families receive a questionnaire to determine eligibility for McKinney-Vento services, as well as for Free/Reduced Meals during the school day. OSPI recommends a mid-year check-in as an opportunity for anyone with a change to their housing circumstances to submit information.

The McKinney-Vento information can be found at https://www.enumclaw.wednet.edu/page/mckinney-vento-homeless-students IF YOU HAVE STABLE HOUSING, YOU DO NOT NEED TO COMPLETE THIS FORM.

Free/Reduced Meal applications can be found at https://www.enumclaw.wednet.edu/o/esd/page/free-and-reduced We encourage all families to fill out this form, even if you think you may not qualify.

For questions, please contact your school counselor Davette Eneboe at Davette_Eneboe@Enumclaw.wednet.edu or 360-802-7159 or ESD Student Support Services at 360-802-7125.

Season 4 Sports (Cross Country, Girls Volleyball and Football for 7th and 8th Graders) will start in March.  Now would be a good time to make sure your physical is current through May 20th.  Physicals are good for TWO YEARS.
