On the morning of August 28th, our staff will load
busses and drive to the field
at Black Diamond Elementary. We’ll arrive in Black
Diamond by 8:30 and be
greeted by Black Diamond
officials. Donuts and coffee
will be served. We would
love for students, parents
and community members
who are able to join us for
this Black Diamond “back
to school rally” to please
stop by.
After a district-wide
in-service later that morning, our staff will again load
busses and have a “bus parade” down Cole Street in
Enumclaw. This bus parade is scheduled for 11:15.
Our staff will be greeted
by Enumclaw officials, followed by a staff barbeque
lunch. We would like to
invite students, parents
and community members
to line Cole Street at 11:15
to cheer our amazing staff
and then join us in Rotary
Park for our Enumclaw
rally. We’ll be handing out
ice cream bars to the public
who attend.
An event like this definitely brings together our
school district and the cities of Black Diamond and
Enumclaw. I hope many
of you are able to join us
at either the Black Diamond (8:30) or Enumclaw
(11:15) rally. Together, let’s
celebrate the beginning of
what I believe is going to be
an amazing school year for
our students and staff!! See
you there!
Here’s to a great 20082009 school year!

Elementary Summer School Program
Elementary students from
across the district participate in the Elementary
Summer School Program
held at each elementary
school every year in August.
Students spend time at
their neighborhood school
in small groups reading as
well as working individually
with teachers to boost their
reading skills. This program
is strategically scheduled in
August to help students get
back into the routine of
school and to practice the
important skills and behaviors of successful readers. Participating students
come back to school in the
Fall ready to begin a new
school year with a sense of
confidence and enthusiasm
to continue their growth as
readers!
EHS Leadership Advance
On August 5th and 6th, twenty-two teacher leaders
and the administrative team of EHS gathered together for
a back-to-school leadership advance. This two day event
was filled with rich dialogue and discussions about the future of Enumclaw High School. The primary goal of the
advance was to establish a clear focus on student learning
for the year, clarify goals, and begin to develop actions for
moving forward. In addition, the new leadership team had
a chance to work together and build a shared understanding of their role as a teacher leader and the role of the leadership team as well as planning the back-to-school August
professional development days for the whole staff. It was
a very worthwhile and meaningful two-days collaborating,
learning and focusing on student achievement.
