Fall Conferences

Join Us!

Family conferences will be held November 23-25th to review the progress and celebrate accomplishments your child has made this 2026-2027 school year.

You will be invited by your child’s teacher to sign up for a conference time on Parent Square a couple weeks prior, the same process as Family Engagement Conferences at the start of the year.

Please reach out to teachers with questions specific to the classroom. Any assistance with sign up needed, and all other general inquiries, may be directed to the Endeavour Office at 425-366-2800.

Remember, there is no school November 23-27th.

October is National Book Month!

Did you know that this month is National Book Month? This fun National recognition is celebrated in October each year to promote the importance of reading. Reading is a fundamental skill that is important for children and their long-term success. Reading helps children:

Build vocabulary and language skills
Strengthen comprehension and critical thinking
Expand knowledge and understanding of the world
Develop creativity, imagination, and empathy
Improve focus and reduce stress

How can you foster a love of reading at home?

Make reading a daily habit by setting aside special time to read together.
Choose books that match your child’s interests and let them pick their own!
Talk about the stories you read. Ask questions about characters, plot, and themes; or even imagine a new ending together!

Simple Family Reading Activities

Read Together: Take turns reading pages or have your child read to a favorite stuffed animal.
Book Picnic: Grab a blanket and a few books and enjoy a cozy reading picnic.
Act It Out: Use funny voices or act out your favorite parts of a story.
Story Detective: Ask your child to predict what will happen next or find clues in the pictures.
Family Storytime: Let each family member choose a favorite book to share.
Make a New Ending: Imagine a different ending to a story and share your ideas!

The best way to grow a reader is to make reading fun! Happy Reading!

Pick Up and Drop Off Safety

Dear Families,

We are asking for your partnership in keeping all our students safe during drop-off and pick-up. We have 414 students arriving and leaving in a small space and within a short timeframe. I know waiting can feel frustrating, and merging can be challenging, but it is essential that the adults in our community model respectful, calm, safe behavior for our students whenever we are on campus. At Endeavour, we teach our students to pause, breathe, and solve problems in positive ways. Thank you for modeling these same expectations.

Below are some important reminders:

Car Rider Expectations

When entering the parking lot for drop-off or pick-up, please form two lines. This helps prevent traffic backups on Harbour Pointe Boulevard.
Once you reach the stop sign, we will alternate every other car as you merge into the single lane (a zipper merge).
Please keep your family car tag/pick-up number clearly visible (hanging from your rearview mirror or placed on the dash).
Practice your child’s pick-up number with them to help dismissal run more smoothly.

Double Eagle Drive Expectations

Drive all the way to the end of the road, turn around, and park on the school side for drop-off and pick-up.
Do not drive on the sidewalk.
Do not make U-turns.
Do not wave your child to run across the road.
Please be conscientious of the neighborhood. People live in the houses on Double Eagle, and Endeavour should be kind neighbors.
Please slow down and be alert—children are everywhere.

General Expectations

Slow down: We understand everyone is in a hurry, but student safety must remain our top priority.
Follow traffic laws: For everyone’s safety, please avoid U-turns or any unsafe driving maneuvers.
Respect crossing guards and flaggers: Their sole purpose is to keep students safe—let’s show them kindness and support.
Be patient: Your children are always watching and learning from you. Please be positive examples.

Thank you for helping us maintain a safe and positive environment for all students. We appreciate your partnership.
