Totem Falls Raven Review
Thursday, May 25
A NOTE FROM DR. CHURCH
Dear Totem Falls Families,
Next Wednesday is the Art Walk at Totem Falls from 6:00-7:30. Student artwork from this year will be on display in classrooms. This was a fantastic event last year, bringing the community together in celebration of our Raven's hard work. Thanks to the PTO for their sponsorship of this event. The spring raffle will be happening Wednesday evening as well.
We also want to thank our volunteers who have made such a difference for our staff and students. We hope you can attend to enjoy viewing a few masterpieces and pick up a token of our appreciation for your commitment to our school.
Sincerely,
Dr. Church

Totem Falls Food Drive was a Success!
A big thank you to our Totem Falls Community!
Totem Falls Student Council's annual food drive was a huge success. Thanks to our school community, we were able to fill a van full of food to benefit the Mill Creek Community Food Bank. The food bank currently serves an average of over 2,000 individuals and 600 families each week.
Warm Weather
With the beautiful weather we have been having, we would like to remind parents to put sunscreen on students before they come to school and send their water bottles with them!
Parents are able to send sunscreen with their student provided it is liquid or solid stick (non-aerosol) is 8 oz or less, and is FDA approved in the original sunscreen bottle.

7th grade TDAP booster shot requirement
All students entering 7th grade must have a Tdap shot before they can start school in September 2023.
For students in 7th grade, the Tdap vaccine must be given at or after age 10 to be accepted for school entry. If your child is in 6th grade and already received this booster, their immunizations are complete. The middle school nurse may need medical verification when this vaccine was given. If your child receives this booster over the summer, please bring the record to the nurse at registration in August 2023. It is good to keep a copy of immunizations for your records.
Please note, the Tdap shot is different from the Td shot. If your child receives the Td shot, that vaccination is not in compliance with Washington immunization requirements, and they will need to receive the Tdap shot, as well, before the first day of school.
Please remember, these immunizations are not just a good idea – they are required by Washington state law for school attendance.
INFORMATION ABOUT HPV AND MENINGOCOCCAL DISEASE
The Washington State Legislature requires us to annually make information available to you about and human papillomavirus (HPV) and meningococcal disease. Know the facts about these diseases and the vaccines available to protect your child.
