Dear Everett Public Schools community, 

Happy Fall! As October unfolds, I want to take a moment to reflect on the great start we’ve had to the school year. Walking through our schools, I see classrooms filled with curiosity, collaboration, and care. From our youngest learners just beginning their educational journey to our seniors preparing for graduation and beyond, there is a shared sense of purpose that reminds us why we do this important work. 

October is also a time when many of our schools are welcoming families for conferences and events. These moments are more than just check-ins; they are opportunities to strengthen the partnership between home and school. Your involvement in your child’s learning journey makes a powerful difference, and we are grateful for the time you take to connect with teachers and staff. 

I also want to highlight the many ways families can stay connected. Through ParentSquare, school newsletters, and district updates, we are committed to keeping communication clear and accessible. Staying informed helps ensure that families and schools can work hand-in-hand to support students academically and socially. 

Looking ahead, October brings celebrations of learning, athletic competitions, music and arts performances, and community events that showcase the talents and passions of our students. I encourage you to attend when you can. These experiences are a wonderful reminder of the vibrant and diverse community we are fortunate to serve. 

As we continue through the fall, I am grateful for the dedication of our staff, the engagement of our families, and the determination of our students. 

Together, we are building a school community where every student is seen, supported, and given the tools to thrive. 

Thank you for your partnership and for making Everett Public Schools a place where students can dream big and achieve even more.
