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. Click the headline to visit the page.

Schools closed March 16-April 24

Governor Inslee announced a mandate that schools close through April 24. Therefore, Monday, March 16, Everett Public Schools will be closed through Friday, April 24. School will resume on Monday, April 27. Please click link for more details on what this means for our families.

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.

Attendance Procedures

Attending school each day is the first step in a student's success in school.  Recognizing the importance of school attendance, the state legislature revised our state law, RCW 28A.225, on compulsory school attendance.  Beginning March 27, 2017, the revised attendance procedures were implemented in all schools to have consistent attendance practices across the state.

Here are answers to some frequently asked questions about the changes in the Attendance Procedures:

How does this change what I usually do to report my student's absences?

If you call our 24 hour attendance line and leave a voice message, you MUST also do ONE of the following:

1. Send an email to CWEAttendance@everettsd.org and teacher, from the email account you have on file with us including all the required information.
2. Or, send in a hand written note with all the required information on it to verify the absence.

What is "all the required information" I must send in writing?

• Student Name
• Student ID #
• Teacher Name
• Date(s) of the Absence
• Reason for the Absence
• Parent/guardian name
• Parent/guardian signature
• Phone number where the note can be verified

So, even though I call in an absence I still have to send in a written note?

Yes, you must send the required information in writing.
