Student Survey
Dear Families,
We thank you and your family for being our valued partners as we work together to educate the children in our district. As you may already be aware, building our social-emotional learning skills is an important goal for our school this year. Over the next several weeks, students and teachers will participate in several exercises to better understand these concepts and to reflect on how they perceive these skills in themselves.
We will be asking for your child to reflect on their own mindsets and approaches to learning via an online survey they will be completing at school. The survey shouldn’t take more than 20-30 minutes to complete.
The survey content will ask students to self-reflect on self management, grit, self efficacy, effort, learning strategies and emotional regulation.
We are asking that all of our students participate in the surveys, as their responses will provide invaluable insights into their experiences and how we can improve and adapt our district to their needs. If a student doesn’t feel like they have enough information to answer a question, they will be able to skip the item altogether. The responses to these surveys will be completely confidential.
If you have any questions about the SEL survey , please don’t hesitate to contact Kelly Parsons at (360) 629-1246 kparsons@stanwood.wednet.edu
Community Facilities Advisory Committee Invitation
This year, the Stanwood-Camano School District will form a Capital Facilities Advisory Committee (CFAC). This team’s purpose is to affirm that public schools belong to the entire community, and funding for capital improvements is generated through voter-approved bond measures. Also included in the team’s work are recommendations for how families are assigned to particular schools based on where families reside, school capacity, and immediate and projected enrollment.
Community members play a key role in developing our long-term capital facilities plan and providing input on facility use to ensure the community's values and priorities are accurately represented.
If you are interested in joining this committee or would like to know more, please complete this form.
Career & Technical Education (CTE) Program Advisory Committee
The Career & Technical Education (CTE) Program is looking for business and industry leaders to serve as part of the Stanwood-Camano School District Career and Technical Education (CTE) advisory committee(s). These committees advise, assist and provide support and advocacy for quality CTE programs. Advisory committee members are business and industry volunteers representing occupational areas that have feeder programs taught in our public schools. Members have the opportunity to learn more about the CTE program and instructors are able to increase their understanding of the job market, employers' needs, and community opportunities.
CTE advisory committees:
- Provide information to update, modify, expand, and improve the quality of programs
- Support and strengthen the partnerships between business, labor, the community, and education
- Work with students and educators to support real-world experiences and applications
- Make recommendations that strengthen and expand the CTE curriculum, and provide assistance in implementing these recommendations
- Identify and validate academic and occupational competencies, determine priorities, and review and evaluate programs
- Communicate long-term goals and objectives of the CTE programs to students, parents/guardians, employers, and the community

Hello Families,
I wanted to begin this week’s message by expressing my gratitude. I am grateful for the patience, support, and feedback regarding the start of the school year. This month, we opened three new elementary classrooms, adjusted classes at our secondary schools, and made other changes to keep class sizes as small as possible. Smaller class sizes continue to be a priority, and the timing of adding or reducing classes typically takes place after the fourth day of school. We are committed to ensuring students have a positive experience at school! Thank you, too, for our fantastic staff. The SCSD staff are talented, caring, and willing to do what it takes to provide for our students' needs.
Special Education
I shared the following message with our staff in my weekly staff newsletter, and I felt it should be shared with families as well.
Over the last year, I have had conversations with staff and families regarding special education programming, our beliefs, and the law. I want to take the opportunity to share a few insights that many of you may already know:
- All students are general education students first!
- When students participate in programs like special education, multi-language learning, etc., these experiences are in addition to general education programming
- Inclusion in education refers to every student being able to access and gain equal opportunities for teaching and learning
OPSI reminds us that the law states that “all students have a right to meaningfully participate in the general education setting, both academically and socially to the fullest extent possible. Inclusion is realized when all students, regardless of their designation to receive special education services, are provided with targeted services, supports, and accommodations, allowing them to learn in the general education classroom, interact with peers, and engage in the core curriculum.” These are not suggestions; they are mandates for adults and opportunities for students.
I would encourage all to review the Myths & Facts about Inclusionary Practices in Washington State. This document outlines seven common myths about Inclusionary Practices, facts, evidence, and strategies for dispelling myths. The use of the words “inclusive settings” in our district promise is intentional. We have a legal and ethical responsibility and opportunity to serve all students according to the law and what we know best prepares students for their future.
Get social with us!
Please remember to follow the SCSD on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, and follow my tweets @rumbaughsupt.
Respectfully,
Deborah Rumbaugh, Ed.D.
Superintendent
