Attendance Matters - If you show you grow!
Attendance Procedures
We look forward to seeing your child at school every day. Regular school attendance is important, and we will work with you to ensure your child is present to benefit from an excellent education. If your child is sick with fever, vomiting and/or diarrhea they should remain home for 24 hours until these symptoms are gone. If they are absent, please email our attendance email address, gaeattendance@everettsd.org. If email is not possible, please call 425-385-4705 to report the absence. Please make sure there is an email or a written note within 30 days after your student returns to school.
Resources and Support

- Millenia Ministries is at the Boys and Girls Club by Hawthorne Every Friday 2-3:30pm,
giving out boxes of food, including lots of fresh produce, and sometimes, items harder to find at foodbanks that meet more cultural needs! They will be there until all food is gone. Modest Family Solutions

Garfield PTA NEWS
Hello Garfield families! Another Popcorn Friday is on the horizon! If you would like to be a part of the experience and are an approved volunteer, we can always use more help. Feel free to sign up here.
YEARBOOKS: Yearbook order forms will be coming home with your student soon if they have not already. Please return the completed form with payment to your teacher before winter break. Some of you may have received a yearbook order for from us at back to school night or kindergarten orientation that looked different from these. If you returned that form, you do not need to return the new one. If you have any questions, concerns, or want to double check if you are on the list of those that already ordered, please feel free to reach out to us at garfieldtigerspta@gmail.com.
MEMBERSHIP: We love to have our families not only join us at meetings and events but to also be members! If you haven’t already signed up, you may do so by visiting our membership sign up page. All memberships and membership benefits are available from the day you sign up until June 30, 2024. If you have any questions or if that website isn’t working well for you, do not hesitate to reach out! We are more than happy to help!
DINE OUT NIGHT: Our first dine out night has been scheduled! On Monday, November 6, The New Mexicans will be hosting us from 5-8pm. They will donate 20% of sales to your PTA.
BOOK FAIR: This year’s Scholastic Book Fair will be from December 4-8. Students will have an opportunity to shop during their library time that week as well as with their families during a couple evenings. The details are still being fine-tuned and more information regarding evening events and volunteer opportunities will be announced as soon as they are sorted.
CONTACT: We love connecting with our families so never hesitate to chat with one of us if you see us around campus. We also welcome our families to reach out to us on our social media pages or via email at any time. Our Linktree is a great resource to get links to resources like membership sign up and the district’s volunteer application as well as to be able to support your PTA through donations via our Amazon wish list or Cheddar Up. Links to our social media pages, zoom meeting format, and an events calendar can also be found there.
NEXT MEETING: Our next meeting is THIS WEEK on Thursday, October 26 from 6:30-7:30 in the Garfield multipurpose room and over Zoom. If you are wanting to get involved with PTA but you aren’t sure how or you just want to see what all the buzz is about, this is a great opportunity to come meet your board and ask any lingering questions you might have. Our meetings occur monthly and while we encourage all our families to be members, it is not required to attend our meetings, but it is required if you would like to vote on any items that come up.
