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.

Kindergarten ONLINE registration

During the current emergency school closure, you can register your student in kindergarten for the school year 2020-21 in three ways. Click link to learn more.

Feedback from Families Wanted -- Annual EES Survey

Educators are constantly asking ourselves how we are doing in our quest to help students become their very best selves. Now, we want to know how you – our community of families – think we are doing. Jefferson, like all Everett Public Schools, is committed to continuous improvement. Each year, we seek your insight to help us create our School Improvement Plan. You are invited to take part in this year’s anonymous survey developed by the Center for Educational Effectiveness, a Bellevue-based research firm, for Everett Public Schools. A paper copy of the survey is coming home soon, or you can take the survey online at https://www.research.net/r/eps-parent. You may choose either method to respond. Although the survey is open through April 3, we are asking for paper copies to be returned by March 30. Your opinions are very valuable to us, since you are partners in the education of students.

2020 Capital Bond POSTPONED

As we continue to work with local and state health officials to monitor and respond to the COVID-19 coronavirus, we made the decision to postpone our April 28 bond. District officials are looking at later dates this year based on the evolving healthcare situation. Click link for more info. 

Parking lot safety reminders -- and volunteers needed!

The Jefferson parking lot is a busy place, and we are asking that everyone in our community follow procedures to ensure student safety and respectful interactions.

Please DO:

• Use a designated parking space, or park at Eastmont Park & Ride, if you want to get out of your car to meet your student.
• Follow the 5 MPH speed limit.
• Pull forward when dropping off and picking up.
• Use crosswalks.
• Follow adult staff and student safety patrol directions.
• Remember that students are supervised until 3:45, and parking spaces and the pick-up line start clearing up about 3:40.

Please DO NOT:

• Park/exit your vehicle anywhere along the curb or on Cadet Way/El Capitan.
• Pull up and wait (without using a parking space) in the parking aisles of the lot.
• Park and wait (or exit your vehicle) in the curb area past the main crosswalk by the office.
• Call your student to walk across the parking lot to meet you on their own.
• Block driveways or intersections in the neighborhood.

We would love parent volunteer help in the parking lot before and after school. Please contact the office if you would like to join this effort!
