Eagle News: Volume 2

Dear Families,

We've had a wonderful beginning to the new school year! Our theme for this year is "Belong, Connect, and Grow!" We believe that meaningful relationships are the foundation of effective learning. When individuals—both young and old—feel valued, recognized, and part of a community, their ability to learn can truly thrive. Throughout the year, we will focus on enhancing connections among our staff, students, and families, and we will intentionally engage students in opportunities that promote their growth.

Thank you to everyone who attended our Family Engagement Conferences and the PTA Back to School Party last week. Both events provided fantastic chances for our community to CONNECT!

As I embark on my third year at Endeavour, I am deeply thankful for our wonderful families and the support and partnership you bring to our school community.

With gratitude,

Tamara

Disability History and Awareness Month (RCW 28A.230.158) takes place during October to increase awareness, respect, and acceptance for people with disabilities, and to bring a greater sense of pride to people with disabilities. At Endeavour we believe each one of us is uniquely gifted, and deserve respect and understanding. 

Did you know 26% of Americans are disabled, but disabled main characters only appear in 3.4% of children’s books? Here is a list of 20 books starring disabled characters: Disability Awareness Month Books.

To all our new eagle families, I hope you’re settling into our school community just fine. I am your counselor, Mrs. Mensah, and I look forward to connecting with you. I’m excited to begin my second year at Endeavour as I deepen connections with our students and families.

This year as a school, we’ll be learning more about our feelings and healthy ways to manage those big emotions when we have them. We will be using the Zones of Regulation program to identify all kinds of feelings and tools that help us get to and stay in the green zone where we’re ready to learn. I’ll be sharing additional resources you may use with your student at home, stay tuned for more! And remember, all the zones are OKAY!

Breakfast and Lunch: Our school meal menus have gone digital! Lunch and breakfast menus will no longer be sent home with students and will, instead, be available online and in our newsletter. Breakfast and Lunch will continue to be free to students for the 2024-2025 school year. Click here for the October Menu.

Classroom Celebrations: Many of our students are lucky to have their birthdays fall during the school year, which of course leads to wanting to celebrate in the classroom! Here are a few reminders if your child wants to celebrate in their classroom this year:

Contact our office if you have questions or concerns
