Dear Enumclaw School District Community,

Season of Engagement

As we enter the month of October, I can feel the arrival of fall, with leaves changing colors and rain becoming more frequent in our forecasts. This time also marks when our students are settling into their routines in the classroom and throughout the school, setting the stage for a successful year. As I visit classrooms, I’m encouraged by the engaging conversations happening at every grade level. Students are asking questions, providing thoughtful responses, and showing a strong desire to learn more. These elements are key to building great learning communities. Keep up the excellent work, students and staff—you make us all proud!
