While all of our schools have been doing amazing following health and safety guidelines, we are very excited to announce that CHOICE students and staff have done an outstanding job since school started in September, and CHOICE School is the winner of this contest!

Are you looking for part-time, full-time, or occasional work? Shelton School District has just the right job to fit any schedule!

The Shelton School District is committed to high-quality education for all. We are dedicated to providing a learning environment that inspires and supports each and every student. We know meaningful involvement of students, parents and community members is a very important part of attaining that level of excellence. Community input on the values, beliefs and services will be gathered through a district-wide survey and some constituency focus groups during October and November of 2021.

Shelton School District is challenging each school to do their very best to continue following the health and safety guidelines. Over the next few weeks, district administrators will be popping into each school, and the school that is determined to be following the health and safety guidelines the best, based on a number of factors, will win a prize and be recognized! The winners will be announced by the end of November.

Thank you for letting us continue to serve your students as we meet their educational goals. We are committed to providing in-person services as students, families, and our staff let us know that students are thriving in being together each and every day. The best way to sustain in-person services is to follow the health and safety guidelines provided by the Washington State Department of Health. We are working together to cut the transmission of COVID to keep classrooms open.

We are very appreciative to have our students back on campus. Our top priority is to our students and it is wonderful to have them in person as we work together to provide a safe, welcoming, and rigorous learning environment.

We are forming an English Learner Task Force (ELTF) to put together recommendations for how we provide instructional services and culturally enriched, welcoming environments for students who qualify for English Learner (EL) services pre-K through 12th grade.

The Student & Family Resource Center is taking a pause from accepting donations.

We will share when we are ready to begin receiving donations again. Thank you for your understanding.

With the school year off and running we continue to be excited about our return to full-time in-person learning. Though our students have been doing a wonderful job complying with the District’s health and safety protocols, COVID-19 is in our community, over the course of the school year students and staff may need to quarantine. Many of you have asked how quarantined students will be able to continue their learning given that the hybrid/remote model of last year no longer exists.

Shelton School District is looking for people who are fluent in Mam or Q’anjob’al and English, who can help with interpretations. Paid hourly, as needed. If this is you, please contact Betty Uriostegui at (360) 426-2151 ext. 10541; Cell (360) 490-1235; BUriostegui@sheltonschools.org
