Cle Elum-Roslyn School District - Partnering with our community to create the Future

Last call! Have you had a chance to complete the Calendar survey? https://forms.gle/s2EtM4fprXU15uHF9 The school district is beginning to put together this year’s Calendar Committee. You may remember from last spring that the Calendar Committee is a group of parents and staff that work together to create calendar options for the community to review for the next school year. This year we want to have input gathered from the community to share with the Calendar Committee at the start of the process. Please take 1-2 minutes to complete the District Calendar Development Survey . Your input will be shared with the committee members who will then be using the data to help create options for the 2023-2024 school year.

All schools will be starting on time today. Give yourself extra time this morning and drive safe.

Don't forget! There is a School Board Meeting tomorrow night at 6pm in the Library at WSMS. Can't make it?

We had a blast at Central's Education Career Fair today! Superintendent John Belcher, Sarah Sahlinger and Sarah Day spent the day connecting with future teachers and they were IMPRESSIVE! Did you know we have several open positions posted on our website? We are also actively seeking an Elementary School Counselor to cover Ms. McLeod's leave for the remainder of this school year. Special shout out to The Cle Elum Bakery! The doughnuts were not only delicious but was a fun way for candidates to "get a taste" of Upper County!

Did you know that for the past 23 years he has been the backstage caterer for all the bands that perform at Chateau Ste Michelle winery? Pretty cool, huh? We love that he is going “all in” for our local kiddo’s! When Eric is not at school, he enjoys spending time with his 4 boys and his 5 grandkids.

Happy New Year to you and your family! 2023 is going to be a great year! We look forward to seeing our staff and students return on Tuesday morning. We will be serving Pancake on a Stick for breakfast and Garlic Cheese Toast with Marinara for lunch.

Looks like Cousin Eddie (aka Mr. Chase) got a little extra help with the snow yesterday! I'm sure it's because he's on the nice list. Happy Holidays Wildcats!

Wishing you all the best from our staff to you. We look forward to seeing you in the new year.

We’ve got multiple plows running, district office staff, Administrators and even Cousin Eddy (aka Mr. Chase) out shoveling snow today in preparation for parent pick up.

Schools across the district have been receiving phone calls inquiring about the potential for early release today.  We want to reassure you that our schools will remain open until the regular dismissal time today where kids are safe and warm. We also acknowledge that some of our families may want and/or need to have students home earlier due to the inclement weather.  If you need to pick up your student(s) early today, please contact the building(s).  Elementary:  509-649-4700 Middle School: 509-649-4800 High School Attendance Office: 509-649-4944 Swiftwater Learning Center: 509-649-4993 Our buses are prepared to transport our students in this weather.  Please be patient at the bus stops as they will be driving a little slower to ensure that your student(s) arrive home safe.

All after school activities including GEAR, Outdoor School and athletics are canceled today 12/20/22 due to inclement weather.

Don't forget! We have a School Board Meeting scheduled for Monday (12/19/22) at 6pm in the Library at Walter Strom Middle School. Can't make it in person? No problem! Here is the webinar link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83607333791?pwd=dFlaTGkrcTFsdk5RTGVLSGJkWEFwUT09
