Cheer On Our Bus Drivers in the Cle Elum Christmas Parade!
Join us this Saturday, December 6th, in Cle Elum to cheer on our amazing bus drivers as they roll through the Christmas Parade with a beautifully decorated school bus. The parade will begin around 6:00pm.
Their work is essential to our schools—safely transporting students to and from school and activities every day—and this is a great opportunity to show them how much we appreciate all they do. So come out, bring your families, and help us celebrate and support this incredible team!
The workshop will be in the elementary school cafeteria, from 3:30pm-6:30pm, and tickets are $1, with most crafts being 1 ticket. We look forward to seeing our Gray Wolf families tomorrow!
There will be no school Thursday and Friday, Nov. 27-28, for Thanksgiving Break. Wishing all families a happy and restful Thanksgiving, and we will see you back at school Monday, December 1st!
Attention Families, this is a friendly reminder that all schools will be on an Early Release schedule tomorrow, November 26th, 2025. The Elementary School will be released at 12:25pm, and the Middle and High Schools will be released at 12:30pm. Buses will be running on an early release time as well. If you have any questions, please call the school's main office.
Our substitutes support classrooms, help maintain routines, and ensure students continue to learn and grow. Their work is essential, and we are grateful for every one of them.
Thank you to all of our substitute educators for the important role you play in our schools!
As we head into the winter months, we want to help families know what to expect if snow or icy weather leads to school closures, delays, or canceled after-school activities.
If any schedule changes are needed, families will be notified through ParentSquare (app, email, and phone).
