Quil Ceda Tulalip Elementary

Dear QCT Families, As we move into the spring season, we want to take a moment to share an observation we often see each year around this time. With longer daylight hours, more evening activities, changes in routines, and the anticipation of summer break, we sometimes notice an increase in student behaviors that are less conducive to learning in the classroom. Additionally, this time of year brings important spring assessments and academic wrap-up tasks that can add to student stress and fatigue. These seasonal changes are completely normal, but they can impact students’ focus, energy levels, and ability to stay on track with their learning goals. That’s why we believe it’s more important than ever to work together to help students finish the school year strong. Here are a few ways you can help support your child at home: Maintain Consistent Routines: Try to keep bedtime and morning routines steady, even with the longer daylight and evening events. Adequate sleep and predictable schedules help students feel more grounded and ready to learn. Talk About School Daily: Ask your child about their day, what they’re learning, and how they feel about their progress. These conversations show your child that their learning is important and valued. Encourage Responsibility and Self-Monitoring: This is a great time to talk with your child about staying focused, being respectful, and putting forth their best effort—even when it feels tempting to shift into “summer mode.” Stay Connected With Teachers: Don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns. We are here to support you and your child and appreciate your collaboration in addressing any challenges early. Celebrate Small Successes: As we prepare for end-of-year milestones, acknowledging your child’s growth and hard work—no matter how big or small—goes a long way in keeping them motivated. We are proud of the progress our students have made and are excited to finish the school year on a positive note. With your continued partnership, we know we can help your child stay focused, engaged, and successful through the final months of school. Thank you for all that you do! Warmly, QCT administration and staff

March 11, 2025 QCT Families, The external lockdown has now been lifted. The Tulalip Police has fully investigated and confirmed that there was no direct threat to QCT or our students and staff. This is a situation of a young person processing something with their peers regarding ICE (immigration enforcement) entering schools that they saw on TikTok and made them feel uncomfortable. Tulalip officers confirmed that this was a miscommunication and there was no threat. We will always proceed with caution and fully investigate any reports that come to us. Your child’s safety is our top priority. Sincerely, Sarah-Marie Boerner, Principal

March 11, 2025 Good morning, Quil Ceda Tulalip Families, We are writing to inform you that the police are on campus investigating a potential threat that was reported following an online conversation between 3rd-grade students. One of the students stated they "saw something on an app.” As a precautionary measure and at the police's request, we have implemented an external lockdown. This means all exterior doors are locked, but the school day will continue as normal. We are committed to maintaining a safe learning environment and will provide updates as soon as possible. Sarah Marie Boerner, Principal

Hello Families! Our district nurse would like to share the following information with everyone about lice prevention. We try to send out this reminder periodically throughout the school year. Please take a moment to check your child for head lice during these colder months! If you suspect your student has lice, begin treatment and the disinfection process. Things that would need to be washed on hot and cleaned are stuffed animals, beddings, beanies, hats, clothes, and anything else that comes into direct contact with your students hair. More information about lice and lice prevention can be found here: https://kidshealth.org/en/parents/head-lice.html
