Everett Public Schools wants each school to be a welcoming part of each community. Parents and community groups are encouraged to take an active role in meeting the physical needs of each school. Groups interested in undertaking a project such as installing a play toy, developing and maintaining a garden, or painting a mural should first discuss the idea with the building principal who will then contact the Maintenance & Operations staff. The Maintenance & Operations staff will be able to provide technical and regulatory advice and may be able to provide materials as well as some of the needed labor for the completion of the project.
