Greetings Timberwolf Families!

Did you know if your student is out of school (for any reason) they can still use their Chromebook to log into each class's Google Classroom, and work on assignments.  They are also able to email their teachers, and ask what they are missing while out of school.  

You will still need to notify Attendance of the absence.  You can reach Attendance by calling 360-802-7160,

or Email: ems_attendance@enumclaw.wednet.edu 

 

With the end of the 1st Semester for the 2025-26 School year and we want to hear from you, both the good and the hard to hear. 

You are a critical part of our school culture and we value your feedback. A survey will be sent out after each grading period because each grading period marks another point of feedback in your student's middle school journey!  To access the current survey, please click on the Parent Survey button below.

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

The current Educational Programs & Operations (EP&O) Levy (approved by voters in 2022) and Instructional Technology (Tech) Levy (approved by voters in 2020) will both expire in 2026. The school district is asking our community to consider renewing the two levies in the February 10, 2026, Special Election. If approved by voters, these levies will sustain funding for current services and programs. These are replacement levies. This is not a new tax. To learn more about these levies and the programs and services they fund, please visit our website: https://www.enumclaw.wednet.edu/page/2026-replacement-levies

Notes From the Nurse

Why is youth EKG heart screening important? 

Sudden Cardiac Arrest is the leading cause of death in exercising young athletes. 

See the attached flyer for the FREE youth heart screening event at the Seahawks Training Facility in Renton on Saturday, February 28th. Registration is required. 

Here’s a link for registration for several other events around the state including one closer to us at Sumner High School on February 4th.
