Chain Lake parents!! Our CLE PTA needs your help!! We hope you can join us for our rescheduled PTA meeting next Tuesday, May 21st. While all PTA meetings are important, we strongly encourage you to attend this meeting because our PTA will be holding Board elections for next school year. The PTA will also be doing a review of the year and discussing events for next school year. The meeting will take place in the Chain Lake Gym at 6:30 PM. We hope that you will be able to take advantage of this great opportunity! We look forward to meeting you!
SBAC Testing Continues
REMINDER!! SBAC testing continues next week with Cheesman, Reed & Iliakis taking their Math tests and 5th grade students taking their Science test! Please see the schedule for the remaining window of time your child will be testing. Also, portions of the tests require students to use headphones/earbuds. Most students should already have their own here at school, but we will have a limited number of headphones/earbuds available for students to use if they have not purchased any for the school year. In addition, students may bring a healthy snack to school during their testing times.
Teachers will remind students and families of upcoming tests and strategies to support students as we near those dates. One essential piece is attendance, as this plays a critical role in students’ success at school - this is especially important during assessment time. For more information regarding the tests visit www.k12.wa.us/smarter.
Thank you for continuing to work with us to ensure your child is successful! Please let us know of any further questions you have or if there is anything we can do to better support your child. Good luck to our test takers! We know they will do great!

6th Grade Vaccinations - Beat the Rush!
Is your child 11 years of age? If yes, beat the rush! Did you know that State law requires that all students entering 6th grade in the fall of 2019 must show proof of a Tdap booster vaccine?There’s no need to wait! Vaccinations can be given as soon as your child turns 11 years old. Students must be in compliance with state immunization requirements prior to the first day of 6th grade. Fifth grade students went home with convenient immunization forms that can be turned back in to the school. If you have any questions regarding middle school vaccination requirements, please contact our Health Room at (360) 804-3132.
