AUGUST 2019

HomeLink, our parent

partnership program,

serves homeschooled

students in kindergarten

through 10th-grade.

Students have the

opportunity to enroll

in a variety of classes

from math and English

to drama and music. In

Sarah Walles’ elementary

Spanish class, students

learned the Spanish

names of various musical

instruments by playing

a fun, competitive

game. Throughout the

course, students learned

basic conversation and

vocabulary acquisition,

with a focus on Hispanic

culture.

HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH


SEPTEMBER 2019

The Early Learning

Center serves nearly 200

students in two programs

that pair research-based

curriculum with child

development principles

to promote kindergarten

readiness and long-term

educational success.

The new Early Learning

Center building opened

in January 2018, and

was part of the 2016

construction bond.

Preschool students are

transported to and from

school each day by our

transportation staff

members. It’s easy to see

that preschool is fun by

the smiles on the faces

of bus driver Tawnya

Littlelight and these

preschool students.

Each secondary school

is staffed with a Student

Mental Health Support

Specialist. These employees

are mental health

counselors who work with

students in groups and

one-on-one. They can also

help parents and guardians

identify community

resources and learn new

ways to cope with student

mental health struggles.

Cavelero and LSHS students

also have the opportunity

to receive confidential

services for help with

substance abuse. We are

grateful for all of our

counselors, from preschool

through graduation, who

support students’ academic

MAY 2020

The Mt. Pilchuck

Elementary School

community garden

is celebrating its fifth

year! The garden,

under the leadership

of Linda Mauer, has

become an outdoor

science experiment for

students. They learn

about the importance of

organic and sustainable

gardening; when and what

to plant depending on

the season; and planting,

watering, weeding and

harvesting. Mason bees

were introduced to the

garden in the spring—

teaching students about

pollination and the

importance of the bee

population.
