Seniors need to get their high school and beyond plans completed by May 6th. Students were given a list of lessons in advisory that they need to complete. When students finish their plan, they need to let their counselor know so the plan can be signed off.
If a senior has not ordered a cap/gown for graduation, they need to contact Jostens in Marysville.

Hello Families,
Thank you to the many volunteers who have returned to our schools! The Stanwood-Camano School District appreciates your efforts to help make our schools great! I captured this photo while visiting SES, can you see the joy in this photo? If you are interested in volunteering in our schools, please click here for more information and to complete the application process.
Levy Message
Thank you to those voters who supported the Stanwood-Camano School District Replacement Capital Projects and Technology Levy. As you know, the levy did not receive the simple majority required for passage.
A double levy failure means the loss of about $2.5 million in annual funding to the district beginning in 2023. As we consider the 2022-23 budget, we will have to make some difficult decisions about what technology purchases and capital projects the district will be able to do moving forward without levy funds. We will make every effort to keep any budget reductions away from the classroom.
We know our Stanwood-Camano community values its schools, and we will continue to discuss the importance of maintaining and upgrading technology for student learning and facility improvements.
Teacher Appreciation Week, May 2-6
No amount of words can express my appreciation for the work of our educators. Our teaching force has gone above and beyond to ensure our students are well prepared for the future they choose. Our teachers are collaborators, leaders, mentors, motivators, coaches, and relationship-builders. I am grateful for the efforts of our teachers, who show up for kids day in and day out. Please join me in thanking our teachers!
Plants, galore! SHS’s Bloom’n Plant Sale is back and in full swing in the new greenhouses at the high school.

May is Water Safety Month Our local YMCA will hold its annual Safety Around Water (SAW) program from June 20 to 30. The program teaches children of all ages that water can be fun, not feared if you know how to stay safe in and around water. Knowing how to be safe around water is one of the most important life skills we can teach our children. It gives them confidence and saves lives. SAW is a grant-based swim lesson program offering eight FREE swim lessons, focused on water safety skills, to children in our community who may not otherwise have the opportunity to learn to swim. Please contact the Stanwood-Camano YMCA for more information.
School Board regular meeting Tuesday, May 3
The Board will meet at 1 p.m. next Tuesday, May 3 in the Board Room in the district office. The agenda is posted here. For meeting summaries, Board Briefing is available here.
Respectfully,
Deborah Rumbaugh, Ed.D.
Superintendent
