Welcome to this week's edition of the Mt. Stuart Family Flight Plan! We're excited to share the latest happenings and updates from our school community to keep you informed and engaged.

3/13/26

This was a busy week at MSE! We had a Parent Partnership meeting, a Parent Group meeting, a first grade field trip to Yakima, Picture Day and Eagle Buck experiences. It was so much fun. 

We are also gearing up for spring conferences. Please review the attached file  about best practices for conferences so you can make the very most of your time with your child’s teacher. The school schedule next week will keep you on your toes and the following week is Spring Break. 

During conference week we’ll be doing the MSE first annual “Recess Rodeo” where our staff will explicitly teach recess expectations. These groups will focus on specific zones and what to do & not to do there facilitated by staff who supervise those areas. We will also practice playing together to apply those skills. Later this month we’ll share our simplified expectations with you as well so you can support your child.

Hello Parents/Guardians,

Our Lost and Found collection is overflowing!

Please take a moment to check with your student to see if they are missing any coats, lunchboxes, water bottles, or other belongings.

113 Mt. Stuart families & friends have selected our non-profit as their Fred Meyer Community Partner. Because of that, from this past quarter alone, Fred Meyer has donated $600 to us! Fred Meyer donates a percentage of what you spend to the charity of your choice. THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING Mt. Stuart Parent Group! If you haven't selected us and would like to, it's really easy. You can do it through the app or website. Under Community Partners, our unique code is SN076. That's it. Attached are the steps as well :)

To ensure a safe and smooth drop-off and pick-up experience for everyone, please make note of the following parking updates:

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us keep our parking lots safe and accessible for everyone!

Please Parent Square or email the office by 3:00 PM if your student has a change of plans for the end of the day. We have many activities happening during this time, and having the change in writing helps ensure we get the message to your child correctly. Thank you!

If you plan to send in birthday treats for your child's class, or snacks, please make sure they are bite-sized and meet our district wellness policy.

As outlined in District Policy 6700P:

Thank you for helping us celebrate in a way that keeps all students safe and healthy.

If you are looking for a gift idea for grandparents or others, check out Artsonia. They will use your child's picture to make gift items. Our school receives a percentage of sales that we use to purchase art supplies.

We love our volunteers! 💙 If you’d like to help out at school, stop by the office to pick up a volunteer application. Please bring a copy of your driver’s license when you turn it in. Once your application is approved by the district, it will be valid for 2 years.

If you’d like to be a substitute or an employee in our school district, head to ESD401.org
