Springdale Middle School parents and students!
We have finally made it to the end of the school year! Thank you for your dedication and perseverance through this challenging time. Congratulations to all the high school seniors who graduated last weekend and to the 8th graders who are being promoted to high school!
Last Day of School
June 17th is our last day of school. As a result of the COVID-19 Closure, state officials directed all schools to add five days to their previously scheduled school calendar.
Ice Cream Drive-Through & Chromebook Return
Join the middle school teachers for an ice cream drive-through on Tuesday, June 16th, from 1 PM-3 PM. At this event, all students need to submit their final projects, homework, and return their Chromebook. We will be maintaining strict social distancing. Please stay in your car as you drive through the bus loop. Upon staff approval, students will be permitted to access the school only if they need to retrieve personal items. Chromebooks may also be returned to the office or district office during regular working hours of 8 AM-4 PM.
Next Fall
As many of you may have seen or heard, the state released its Reopening Washington Schools 2020 Guidance on Thursday. This document provides schools with the framework in which to develop reopening plans for the fall. All schools will open for all students across the state! At Mary Walker, we will be working with the county health officials to develop a plan that is responsive to our current status of COVID-19. As we work within the state's guidelines, our goal is to have in-person instruction with social distancing and personal protective equipment. However, if restrictions and health concerns increase, we will be prepared with backup plans that may include a rotating schedule, phased-in opening, or continuous remote learning. There is much work ahead of us. Over the next several weeks, we are looking forward to receiving additional guidance from the state to help us create our plans. I assure you that the Mary Walker Team will be ready to meet all students learning needs next fall.
Please know that we will be working over the summer to ensure we are prepared for the challenges we'll face in the year ahead!
