Our Weekly Communication to Families and Students

Yearbook Team needs YOUR Help!!

Hello Titans!
The yearbook team is in need of some great pictures to make our yearbook special this year.  The 1st sport season is winding down and we do not have any Track, Baseball, and Softball pictures. We particularly need pictures from after school events such as: sports, clubs, music, etc. 

If you, have any great pictures to contribute, please attach them to the Google Form below.  Parents may email pictures to: mark_hanson@enumclaw.wednet.edu or you may forward them this link to the Google Form:  https://forms.gle/XC2wGfhS4AjajxXn6.  At this time, we are only seeking pictures at Thunder Mountain or at school sports, clubs, and events.

Again, to fill out the Google Form and submit fantastic Yearbook photos, here is the link:  https://forms.gle/XC2wGfhS4AjajxXn6

Also, don't forget to get your Yearbook Cover art entries in.  One will be used to make the cover, but many other entries will appear throughout the book.

Thank you!
The Yearbook Team & Mr. Hanson

Does your student love to read? If so, they can join Ms. O’Neil and Ms. Chris’ newly formed D.E.A.R club - Drop Everything And READ! Once a month they'll be meeting after school for a half hour activity followed by an hour of reading. If interested, have them fill out a gold sheet and turn it into Ms. Schipper.

Our first meeting will be Thursday, October 30 from 2:40-4:10. Bring a little bag of your favorite candy and whatever book you’re currently reading - the spookier the better!

school bus notes

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:

  • Your student’s name/Address of where they will be going to

  • 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.
