2020 Capital Bond - Impact on Penny Creek ES

Now, more than ever, schools are the heart of our community. Investing in our schools continues our focus on not only academics, but the well-being of every student in our district. The school board has recognized that need and decided to put the $317.4 million bond that was to run in April, on the August 4, 2020 ballot. Find out what projects specifically benefit Penny Creek Elementary School by clicking the link above.

Student Engagement Materials

With the district-wide closure of Everett Public Schools, we have created a website that includes an initial set of materials intended to support students’ engagement in learning.  The materials do not replace the experience of being in school but can help students maintain the learning that has taken place this school year.

School buildings closed through end of school year 

On April 6, Governor Inslee announced the closure of all school buildings in our state through the end of this school year. Please click the headline for more information.

Free meals during school closure

We are committed to providing access to the nutrition Everett Public School students need during an extended emergency district wide closure. We will be offering meals for pick up at a total of 23 school sites and at least 5 apartment complexes. Please click link for more information.

New cell phone policy

The use of cell phones in the classroom can distract students from instruction, yet can be important to have accessible in case of emergency. With this in mind, the district has adopted a new policy 3246 and procedure 3246P which prohibits cell phone use in the classroom while still providing access for students in case of emergency.

Elementary school students who choose to bring cell phones to school may only use them before or after the school day. During the school day, they must be powered off and stored (e.g., in the student’s backpack, locker, other district provided storage). There will be storage in the classroom so, in the event of an emergency, the cell phones will be accessible without leaving the classroom.
