Summer Reading Challenge
When school starts each fall, students who have not been reading over the summer don't do as well in class as those who have. Just reading four books in the summer can prevent the dreaded Summer Slide.

Stamp out the Summer Slide with One School District, Two Cities, 2015 Summer Reading Challenge! Including the cities of Everett and Mill Creek, both part of Everett Public Schools, the challenge will enthrall 20,000 readers of all ages in the pages of 100,000 books.

Start making your summer reading list now! More information to come!

You may get a phone call ...

This month, a survey company may call to ask your opinions about the district and its educational programs.

The last telephone opinion poll conducted by the district was in 2009. From 2003 until 2009, the district contracted with survey experts to conduct surveys every other year.

Information from this year's random-sample survey will be melded with information learned during the Thoughtexchange process earlier this winter and Fishbowl conversations this spring. Next fall, the district will launch another series of Thoughtexchange processes and hold a Telephone Town Hall conversation with the school board -- all to better understand and meet the expectations of the public for their public schools.

June 9 School Board meeting

The school board will meet in regular session on Tuesday, beginning at 4:30 p.m. in the board room at the Community Resource Center at 3900 Broadway in Everett, WA 98201.

The agenda and other board materials are online in BoardDocs.
