Thunder Mountain Middle School's Weekly Bulletin to Families

Our Weekly Communication to Families and Students

February 9 - 13, 2026

Lunch Update – all this week
This week we’ll be transitioning to our new Skyward system. During this time, we will not be able to accept any sort of money/funds and the Snack Shack will be closed. Students may choose one main lunch item, such as the special, burger, hotdog, or deli sandwich, but may not get multiples.  The salad bar will be available. Pizza will be available on select days, but not daily. Please note that water bottles will not be available for purchase.
To help keep students comfortable and energized, families may wish to send extra snacks or food and have students bring a refillable water bottle from home. Thank you for your patience and support as we move forward with this upgrade to our Skyward system.  

Friday, PTSO will be here selling Root Beer Floats during both lunches.

Students need to have cash, they cannot use money from their lunch account.

February 10th is Special Election Day. Ballots are due in King County drop boxes by 8:00 pm. Find your local ballot drop box at https://kingcounty.gov/en/dept/elections/how-to-vote/ballots/return-my-ballot/ballot-drop-boxes

Saturday, February 14 is Valentine’s Day and is a great time to express our love for our children and their friends. We request that any gifts, flowers, etc. be given out at home rather than brought OR sent to school. We appreciate your support.

Enjoy a happy and safe Mid-Winter Break!  All education buildings are closed February 16-20.  The District Office will be closed on Monday, February 16 in honor of Presidents' day.

 

8th Grade Parent Meeting

If you would like to help with the planning the 8th grade dance/social on June 12th, the first meeting is Tuesday, February 24th at 3:00PM at TMMS

8th Grade Field Trip to Enumclaw High School March 5th 

The purpose for the visit is to Introduce 8th graders to the EHS setting, and learn about the Elective courses offered to begin considering learning pathways.

Students will eat their lunch at TMMS, then board busses and head to the High School. They will experience a pep assembly, meet the EHS leadership students and tour the campus. They will board the buses back to school at 1:45.  Watch for fieldtrip slips to come home.

Cooking Club is starting up! The club is open to all grade levels. Learn simple recipes and build confidence in the kitchen. Whether you are a budding chef or just like to eat, the cooking club welcomes all levels of skill.

We are offering two separate classes, but you can only sign up for one. This is to offer the club to more students. 

Cooking club information:

#1 - Wednesdays 2/25 thru 4/1 2:45-4:45 ; session 1 is full
or

Bus Notes

Bus notes: a signed parent note is required for your student
anytime they are riding a different bus home. Please make sure the note includes the following:
1. Your student’s name/Address of where they will be going to
2. Bus number they will be riding/Parent signature
The student brings the note into the office before school to have it stamped and initialed and then gives it to the bus driver when they board the bus. Some buses are at capacity. Office staff will confirm with transportation that there is room. If the bus is full, the bus note will not be approved.
Please be advised that bus notes will not be taken over the phone.

Thanksgiving Food Drive
 

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
