Roadrunner Nation News
February 26, 2020
Message from the Principal and Assistant Principal
This month we celebrate National School Counselor's week. A very big SHOUT OUT to Mrs. Siegrist and Mr. Lantz who do an amazing job with our students.
We are also celebrating 100's day. This means we will be in school over 100 days. Can you believe it? So much to learn and such a limited amount of time for it. This really goes back to every day being so important for your child's attendance.
We just completed the girls basketball season. Great Job Roadrunners! We are now looking forward to girls soccer and boys basketball. Tryouts start Tuesday, February 25th
As always, I am so proud of the tremendous amount of work that happens every day. It is such an honor to work with such hard working people who truly care about every single one of their students.
Happy February!
Ty Robuck-Principal & Dawn Musgrove-Assistant Principal

Inclement Weather
If there is a school delay or closure there will not be staff in the building to answer any questions. Thank you for your understanding.
Snow Routes and Emergency Bus Routes
Buses may need to adjust where they pick up and drop off students to ensure travel happens only on roads designated as safe in the snow. These are called emergency routes.
Before winter weather starts, be sure to:
- Review our school’s Emergency Bus Routes & Safe Zones with your student posted on our school website. Paper copies are available in the office.
- Always be 15 minutes early for pickups.
- Remember not to block bus loading/unloading zones.
- Know that school delays due to inclement weather do not automatically mean emergency routes will be used.
- Opt in to receive emergency and inclement weather notifications by texting "YES" to 67587 from the device you wish to receive messages on.
- Check local TV and radio stations and this website for delays.

From the Bookkeeper:
Please keep an eye out for email from noreply@intouchreceipting.com as this is communication from me, your friendly GMS Bookkeeper! (You can reach me direct at maloned@psd401.net or (253) 530-1612)
Email may appear in your inbox or it may go into your spam/junk mail folder. Please look for and read these emails as your student may have a fee, fine, or made a payment and this is your direct notice. (I do periodically send notices with your student, but we find that paper copies do not always make it home.)
I will be sending emails out by the end of the week to students with current fees and/or fines.
Remember that all art classes have a $25 fee that should be paid within the first two weeks of the new trimester so we can purchase supplies for the classes. Thank you in advance!
