Dear Enumclaw School District Community,
A Fresh Start in the New Year
The return from Winter Break serves as a reminder of the many things that begin anew with the new year. For many educators, this time represents a second opportunity for a “fresh start” in the school year. With a new semester just around the corner, students who may have veered off course in recent weeks have an opportunity to realign, refocus, and recommit to goals that may have been set aside during the busyness of the holiday season.
This time also marks our transition into the second half of the school year. It is a period that calls for focus and intentional effort as we work to finish the year strong. Grit and determination are essential as students continue learning in preparation for their next steps, whether that be advancing to the next grade level, graduating, or pursuing opportunities beyond high school in just a few short months.
So, here we go, 2026! We are ready to make this new year a great one.
Sincerely,
Shaun

Learn More About Our Replacement Levies on the February 10, 2026 Ballot |
The current Educational Programs & Operations (EP&O) Levy (approved by voters in 2022) and our current 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 on February 10, 2026. If approved by voters, these levies will sustain funding for current services and programs.
Why do school districts have levies?
Levies bridge the gap between the state funding formula and the actual cost of maintaining student programs, services, and school operations. The state provides funding for 'basic education,' but many programs, services, and school buildings rely on local measures approved by voters to fund the gap.
These are replacement levies. This is not a new tax.
