BUS TAG RETURN - Please have your student(s) turn in their SMARTtag badge(s) into either their school office or the school bus on the last day of school. It's crucial to ensure all SMARTtag badges are returned promptly so that the Transportation Department can manage inventory effectively and make necessary adjustments. Keeping track of these badges helps in maintaining the system's efficiency and ensures a smooth transition when students return in the fall. If a student will not be here on the last day of school, or will not be riding the bus, please return badges into the office on the student's last day of school. Thank you to all of our families for your support and cooperation!

At Cle Elum-Roslyn Elementary School, Alyssa Welzien's 4th grade class recently embarked on a compelling book study of the novel "Shiloh." The heartwarming story inspired students to take action and make a difference in their community. Motivated by the themes in the book, they created posters to help advertise the needs of four animals awaiting adoption at the local ARRF Animal Rescue. These thoughtful posters are now displayed at Roslyn Grocery, showcasing the students' creativity and compassion. This project is a wonderful example of how our students are developing critical thinking skills and using their learning to positively impact the community. We are incredibly proud of our students for their dedication and empathy!
