Honey Bear visits Mary Purcell
Honey Bear is a therapy dog who visits Mary Purcell Elementary School every Thursday to be read to as a calm reading partner as students sit and read to him.
Students will visit with Honey Bear as a quiet and calm reading partner.
And, staff get to visit with him as well (a highlight of their week!).

Calendar updated after waiver request approved
The state has approved a waiver-day request from the Sedro-Woolley School District. In order to meet the minimum time requirement, students will be attending school for a full day on June 17 (so no early release). June 20 will now be a non-student day.
As a reminder, the district will also be using May 27 as a make-up day
Updated 2021-2022 calendars:

Inclusion Survey
One of our goals as a district is to better support the needs of all of our students and inclusion is one way we are working on doing that. Please take a few minutes to fill out this survey to help us better meet the needs of your student as we work towards greater inclusion in the Sedro-Woolley school District. For the sake of this work and survey, when we talk about inclusion in the schools we are talking about students with disabilities being included in the general education setting, as opposed to being pulled out to receive educational services separately.

The district is offering new tutoring services for students in grades 7-12. Paper is a secure, online tutoring service that provides students with unlimited, 24/7 academic support. Whether they’re stuck on homework, studying for a test, or need someone to read and make suggestions to their essays, there will always be experts available online to assist students in over 200 subjects and more than 4 languages.
Paper tutors have been specially trained to conduct expert, academic support in a secure, chat-based platform. With a commitment to helping students learn, they’ll never give students answers, but rather interact with them in an encouraging tone to lead them forward.
This is a free service that we’re providing (paid for with ESSER funds), so students are encouraged to use it as much as they need, whenever they need. Our teachers also have accounts and will be able to review all student activity to see what they’re working on and provide more targeted instruction as needed.
If you’d like to learn more about Paper you can sign up for a Paper hosted Parent Info Session, available in both English and Spanish. Or if you’d like to speak to a member of the Paper team directly, you can reach them at parents@paper.co.
To see Paper and the help it offers firsthand, we encourage you to login with your students. To get started, simply visit PAPER’s student login page, type your school’s name, and login via Google using your school credentials
We’re thrilled to offer our students the unlimited, 24/7 support that Paper provides and we can’t wait to see what we’re able to accomplish together.
These Tutorial Videos are also helpful for students and families!
