❄️A Note from Principal Griffith❄️

🦅A Note from the Nest🦅

Shahala Families,

Please take a look below for important messages and updates, as well as information on events happening in the coming weeks.

Attendance Challenge

Starting Monday, all 38 schools in the Evergreen district will be participating in a friendly competition to see which school has the best attendance rate. The challenge will go through the end of March. We are hoping to come out on top so please try to have your student(s) show up, lock in, and represent Shahala!

Technology Support

Do you have questions about your student’s Chromebook or any of our technology platforms? Visit the IT Services page for guidance and answers to frequently asked questions. FAQ documents are available in English, Spanish and Russian.

Incoming 7th Graders

All students entering 7th grade in the state of Washington must receive their Tdap vaccination (tetanus booster). When your child receives their Tdap booster, please email your documentation to our school nurse at Pari.Tabari@evergreenps.org OR bring in a paper copy to Shahala's front office. If your child is exempt from receiving this vaccine, please send us your exemption form.

Any child 10 years and older can get their Tdap booster. It is a requirement before entering 7th grade. If you are unsure that your student has received this vaccine, please check with your healthcare provider or check your MyChart account. 

Where can you get vaccinations? Check with your healthcare provider, local pharmacy, or SeaMar clinic. Please click HERE to see the recommended vaccine schedule.

Lost and Found 

Following a new year clean out, our Lost & Found is already full again! If your student is missing anything, please have them check the Lost & Found, located by the “self service” table at the school entrance. Jackets, sweatshirts/sweaters, lunch bags, shoes (yes! We get quite a few!) and water bottles are kept out on display in the main hall while smaller, more fragile items and those of greater value (phones, watches, jewelry, glasses, etc.) are kept secure in the front office. 

*Lost and found items that are not claimed after an extended period of time will be donated.
