Enumclaw School District -

The Enumclaw School District joins schools across the country in recognizing Constitution and Citizenship Day. This is a time to reflect on the document that continues to shape our democracy today.

Signed and adopted on September 17, 1787, the U.S. Constitution established the framework for our government, and the rights and responsibilities we hold as citizens of the United States. In school buildings across our district today, students are learning how the Constitution impacts their lives and why active citizenship matters.

September 15th to October 15th is a time to honor the rich history, culture, and accomplishments of Hispanic and Latino Americans of past and present.

ESD encourages you to explore the art, enjoy the cuisine, dive into the literature, and learn the stories of Hispanic and Latino Americans with roots in Latin American countries and cultures.

Patriot Day, observed each year on September 11, is a time to remember those who lost their lives in the tragic events of 2001. It is also a day to honor the courage of first responders and the resilience shown by communities across the nation.

The Enumclaw School District believes that the arts play a vital role in our students’ education. From painting and music to theater and dance, the arts inspire creativity, boost academic achievement, and foster emotional growth.

We are excited to celebrate the incredible talent and dedication of our students, teachers, and staff who make the arts come alive in our classrooms every day.

School Immunizations: Get Ready Over the Summer for the 25-26 School Year In order to safeguard the school community from the spread of certain communicable diseases and in recognition that prevention is a means of combating the spread of disease, the ESD board requires a student to present evidence of having been immunized as required by 28A.210 RCW and the Washington State Board of Health 246-105 WAC. Families in Washington can access health and immunization records online using MyIR. A parent or guardian can register and add access for family members or dependents using a simple and intuitive web interface. Access to health records is only allowed once the parent or guardian visits their health provider to authenticate the information provided to the system. This ensures that the parent or guardian is permitted access to the family’s records as required for compliance to federal law. VISIT https://myirmobile.com/ Exemptions from Immunization: The district shall allow for exemptions from immunization requirements only as allowed for by RCW 28A.210.090 RCW 28A.210.090 and WAC 246-105-050. Exclusion from School: The district will exclude students as required in RCW 28A.210.120 from further presence at the school who are out of compliance with the immunization requirements.

Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day, became a nationally recognized holiday in 2021, but the history extends much deeper than that. Learn more about this important American holiday and why we celebrate by visiting the US National Archives at www.archives.gov, and the Smithsonian's National Museum of African American History at www.si.edu/museums/african-american-museum Please note that the Enumclaw School District Office is closed in honor of this holiday.

We have reached the final day of the 2024 - 2025 school year. Enjoy Summer Break - we will see you back in school buildings in the Fall!

ESD is proud to celebrate Flag Day by reflecting on the values and history that our flag represents. As a daily practice, students and staff recite the Pledge of Allegiance, reaffirming our commitment to the principles the American flag represents: "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." Let us remember and cherish the freedoms and opportunities that the flag embodies. May we continually strive for unity and uphold the ideals that make our country great. Happy Flag Day!
