A Message from Our Principal |
|
Dear Thunderbird Families,
We continue to get ready to see our students very soon. As we come back to school, we will prioritize helping our students learn how we do things at Tolt and feel a part of our school community. We value having an inclusive community and will be intentional about making sure all students feel welcome as we transition back into full-time learning.
On the first day of school, we will communicate our health and safety protocols to students for all aspects of the school day, including lunch and the bus. We are working on updating our health and safety protocols and will share them with you closer to the start of the school year. We continue to take direction from Washington State Department of Health (DOH) and Public Health-Seattle & King County (PHSKC). Masks will be required as they are throughout K-12 schools in Washington.
Below you will see updated information about our Back to Business Day on Monday, August 30, which includes our health and safety protocols. Note that everyone will be required to wear a mask and the entire event will be held outside. This means students and families will be able to find the buildings of their student’s classrooms, but not go inside them. Rest assured we will have staff members helping students to find their classrooms when we start the school year. While we look forward to seeing students and families at this event, keep in mind that attendance is optional as items may be completed online.
Please join me in welcoming the following new staff members to Tolt: Alecia Brooks (Spanish Teacher), Karen Maguigad (Assistant Principal), Corey McKenzie (Secretary), Emma Relei (Math Teacher), and Suzanne Walters (Custodian). Transitioning from teaching into our new Dean of Students position and completing an administrative internship this year is Theresa Vander Vaart (previously Theresa Warren). All of our staff members are looking forward to working with our amazing students!
We hope your student is getting excited for school to start. It will be great to see them soon!
Warmly,
Amie Karkainen, Principal
