Broken Water Line Update for Quil Ceda Tulalip Elementary School, 10th Street Middle School, Legacy High School, Tulalip Heritage High School, and the School to Home Partnership Program: Families, We have great news! Students and staff can return to their schools tomorrow! After the major water line break, we have been given the all-clear on the repairs and testing of the water and systems. Thank you for your flexibility, patience, and understanding as our students, staff, and families made the necessary changes to ensure teaching and learning continued during the shutdown. We are excited to see our students and staff back in their schools tomorrow!

Hello QCT community! We are so happy to announce we will be back on our own campus starting tomorrow, Tuesday, 10/3/2023. A big thank you to all of the hardworking crews that made this happen. Also, an ENORMOUS thank you to the Tulalip Education Department and Tulalip Boys & Girls Club staff that shared their space with us this last week. Last, but not least, thank you to the QCT staff who were able to pivot so quickly to offer learning in a new location. We really appreciate this lift! See everyone back at Quil Ceda Tulalip Elementary tomorrow morning!

Broken Water Line Update for Quil Ceda Tulalip Elementary School, 10th Street Middle School, Legacy High School, Tulalip Heritage High School, and the School to Home Partnership Program: We are providing an update on the status of the water line break and the impacts of holding school on the campuses. The City notified the District that the follow-up work needed to ensure the repair is fixed and water is tested will not be completed today or over the weekend as initially anticipated, so we cannot have in-person school at the campuses on Monday. Each school will continue with the current plan for Monday: Remote learning for 10th Street Middle School, Legacy High School, Tulalip Heritage High School, and SHoPP, and in-person school at the Tulalip Boys and Girls Club for Quil Ceda Tulalip Elementary. Families will receive updates directly from their child's schools.

Just a friendly resend of yesterday's letter to families: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1x2PKntoM0rh81_Dxk-w3KEfy6Zz29ZqOql0SfLhlnzo/edit?usp=sharing. Also, it sounds like several of you are interested in our virtual learning option. If you would prefer to support online learning from home, Chromebooks are available for check out at the QCT school office this morning until 10:00 a.m. Thank you!

Broken Water Line Update for Quil Ceda Tulalip Elementary School, 10th Street Middle School, Legacy High School, Tulalip Heritage High School, and the School to Home Partnership Program: We have learned the water line may not be repaired until Thursday, possibly Friday. Students who attend Quil Ceda Tulalip Elementary School will be relocated to the Tulalip Boys and Girls Club. Students who attend 10th Street, Legacy, Heritage, and the SHoPP program will participate in remote learning. Families will receive updates directly from their child's schools.

Hi all, The Quil Ceda Tulalip Elementary building will remain closed this week, and we will be offering an alternative school setting at the Tulalip Boys & Girls Club through Friday. Additional details can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1x2PKntoM0rh81_Dxk-w3KEfy6Zz29ZqOql0SfLhlnzo/edit?usp=sharing Thank you!

Hi all, Due to the closure today, we will be rescheduling our picture day. More to come. Also, the 21st Century after school program will be cancelled today. We are hopeful water will be back by tomorrow and will keep everyone updated. Thank you!

School is canceled today for Quil Ceda Tulalip Elementary, 10th Street Middle, Legacy and Tulalip Heritage High Schools. There is no water due to a broken water main. We cannot hold school with no running water. We anticipate the breakage to be repaired today by the City and school to resume tomorrow on a normal schedule. For students who are already on a bus, transportation is coordinating a plan to return students home.

Happy Friday! Just a reminder that today we have dismissal at 2:15 p.m. and also a friendly reminder that there are no changes to transportation on pick ups in the office after 1:45 p.m. Please take a moment to read our Community Connect for this week: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ggzrIev2GRC4LziCxqmeRuG1AI9sFKlZ0jH7EJ9RCAs/edit?usp=sharing Thank you! Have a wonderful weekend!

Families, September is both Hispanic Heritage Month and Ukrainian Heritage Month! We will be honoring these cultures here at QCT. If your family is of Hispanic or Ukrainian heritage, we invite you to share a family photo for our culture board here at school. We also welcome you to come it and share about your culture in classrooms or our morning gathering time. Just reach out or email your photo to sarah_boerner@msd25.org if interested. Thank you!

Families, Attendance throughout the school year, but particularly in the first 5-days of school is crucial. Here are just a few reasons why: 1. The district bases our budgets and staffing allocations on our numbers in these initial days of school. In short, the more students attend these early days, the better resourced our school will be for the year. 2. We know that our students who made the most learning growth last year were the students who attended school regularly. Our students who missed school made the least growth in reading and math school-wide. 3. You may not realize this, but we are required to disenroll any students who do not attend in the first 5-days of school. Because school attendance is mandatory in WA State, students must legally be attending school and reenrolling your student/s is a hoop no one wants to jump through! Thank you for ensuring your children are attending school. We are here to help, so if we can assist in getting your child to school regularly, please don't hesitate to reach out! Our office number is 360-965-3100. Thank you for your partnership in your child's learning!

Please take a moment to read through this week's school-wide community connect! Link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KXtB_CVMa6HuKBIPwG-9tiIT4qrdGNh5eMLWAMSTVwk/edit?usp=sharing We are looking forward to welcoming our kindergarteners tomorrow, 9/6/23 for their first day of school!

Just a friendly reminder that dismissal today at Quil Ceda Tulalip Elementary is 2:15 p.m. You may recall this is our normal dismissal time on Fridays to allow for district-wide professional learning for our staff. Thank you all for sending your children ready for school this week! It has been a wonderful couple of days!

As part of the Marysville School District’s ongoing efforts to improve safety and security in our schools, we have installed “video doorbells” at our school entrances. Also called a buzzer system, a video doorbell is a connected camera at the school office entrance that notifies school officials when someone requests entry into the building. The new entry system will change how parents, guardians, guests, and visitors access the school during regular school hours when children are present. In addition to the continuation of all exterior doors being locked, the school's front door will also be locked, and those requesting entry will be checking in using the new system. During the times before and after school when many students enter and exit the building under adult staff supervision, the front door access will be open but locked when school is in session. The video doorbell systems installed at schools across the district are funded from a past voter-approved capital levy. If you have any questions about the safety and security of our schools or the video doorbell systems, please contact Greg Dennis, Director of Safety and Security, at greg_dennis@msd25.org or call (360) 965-0076.
