Welcome to the New Year!  We hope all our families had a good time over the winter break.  

We have jumped right back into school, including 2 music concerts.  The first was Thursday night, and then Friday morning for the students.

Next week we will be honoring Martin Luther King Jr, with an Assembly on Friday, January 16th.  Please see the Alternate Bell Schedule below.

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

We hope you can enjoy the sunshine today, and have a great weekend.

There are TWO clubs starting in January.  Dungeons and Dragons, and Knowledge Bowl.

To sign up, you will need to access the Athletic Registration & Information page, and click the InTouch Login.  To be in a club, students need to have paid for their ASB Card, as well as submit the appropriate forms.  

Season 3 Sports (Girls Soccer and Boys Basketball) will start on Monday, January 12, 2026.  Make sure your student's physical is current through March 13, 2026.  Physicals are good for TWO YEARS, and must remain current through the end of the season.

Registration needs to be completed before January 12, 2026 for Girls Soccer and Boys Basketball.  You can use the Button below to access the Athletic Registration Page, and the On-Line InTouch Payment button to pay for Season 3 or Season 4 Sports Fee and ASB if you have not already.

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. 

Full Schedules, updates, and results for the Enumclaw Middle School Sports can be found at Arbiter Live.

Next Meeting is on Tuesday, January 20, 2026

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

Join Dr. Carey for a chat about the upcoming replacement levies and other district initiatives. January 12, 2026 at 6:00pm or January 14, 2026 at 4:30 pm at the ESD District Office. 2929 McDougall Ave. Enumclaw WA 98022
