Dear Totem Falls Families,

As the school year winds down, I am reflective of how far we came this year. All of us. The resilience of our community through so many transitions has been a positive aspect of this school year. While it was not always easy or comfortable, we managed to keep our school doors open all year long. So grateful for that. We have also been able to fold in some traditional elements of Totem Falls life; Raven Racers, popcorn day, and the science fair to name a few. Next week’s PTO Art Walk and the all-school field day on Friday will continue to illustrate that we are glad to celebrate student work and a successful school year.

As I begin to plan for next year, I look forward to a continued return to normality.

Sincerely,

Craig

Important information if your student has a health care plan and or medication at school:

• Medications must be picked up on the last day your student attends school. Pick-up will be the end of school day on Friday, June 17th at 1:15pm or Monday, June 20th at 11:45am. Medications can not be sent home with students and any medications left after June 22nd will have to be destroyed as we are prohibited from holding them over the summer. If you are unable to pick up on the above dates there will be staff in the building during school hours June 21st and 22nd.
• Students with health care plans will have their paperwork for next year sent home with them within the next week. Included will be all the forms for next year that will need parent’s and medical provider’s signatures. Summer is a great time to catch up on any doctor visits and renew any prescriptions that are needed for next year. Appointments in August fill up quickly so to avoid any last minute rush it’s best to schedule appointments early.

We hope your families have a fun, sunny and safe summer!

Mary Mellis, RN and Heather Nichols, HRA

Hello Totem Falls Families!

We are SO excited to be bringing back the ART WALK on June 9th at 6pm at Totem Falls. This will be a wonderful family event to come and walk the school with our Totem Falls community and see the creative collections from the classrooms. To make this event a success, we need your help!

Each grade is putting together a basket to be auctioned off via silent auction that evening. There will be a staff basket as well as some additional items to bid on as well.

Where we need your help is filling those baskets! We have set up Amazon Wishlists/Idea Lists for you to use as a guide. It is okay to purchase items locally or through a different source, we just ask that it fits in one of the themes. Creativity is welcome!

If you purchase separately, please reach out to president@totemfallspto.org to arrange drop off or pick up of your donation.

All items are DUE NO LATER THAN MONDAY, JUNE 6th!

See links below by grade. Thank you SO much for your continued support and look forward to seeing you there! If you purchase through Amazon, please be sure to use Amazon Smile so we get additional funds to support our wonderful school!

Sincerely,

Your Totem Falls Parent Teacher Organization

It is important to make sure your child goes to their regularly scheduled wellness appointments, which often include immunizations. The summer months are a great time to get your child caught up with immunization requirements before the 2022-2023 school year. Schedule your appointments early, as health care providers’ schedules quickly fill up in August and September. Make sure to turn in your updated immunization paperwork to the school by Wednesday, September 7.

This reminder is especially important if your child is transitioning to preschool, kindergarten, or 7h grade, as each of these grades has additional immunization requirements.

Every student enrolled/registered in school or childcare in the state of Washington must have medically verified up-to-date immunization records on file with the school in which they are enrolled/registering before the first day of school 2022-2023. Medically verified immunization records include one or more of the following:

• A Certificate of Immunization Status (CIS) printed from the Immunization Information System (IIS)
• A physical copy of the CIS form with a healthcare provider signature
• A physical copy of the CIS form with accompanying medical immunization records from a healthcare provider verified and signed by school staff
• A CIS printed from MyIR

FAQs

If I am approved for ACP and currently on an internet service plan with a provider, can I switch to a different internet service plan of that provider, including to that provider’s low-cost plan, and receive the ACP benefit?

• Yes. The ACP benefit can be applied to any internet service offering, and providers cannot restrict you from switching service offerings or subject you to mandatory waiting periods. Sometimes providers prohibit existing customers from switching to low-cost internet service plans; however, consumers receiving the ACP benefit are not subject to these “existing customer” restrictions.

What happens if my provider has eligibility requirements for an internet service plan that conflict with ACP rules? (e.g. My provider requires that I pay off my past debts before signing up for XYZ internet service plan)

• ACP rules override the rules of participating providers in the context of an ACP consumer. For instance, a provider may generally require that consumers pay off past or present debts before signing up for XYZ internet service plan. However, consumers who are approved to receive ACP benefits are not subject to that requirement (since the ACP rules prohibit providers from declining to enroll ACP consumers based on past or present debts).

Note: The ACP rules clearly allow ACP consumers to apply their benefit to any internet service offering that is generally available (i.e. not a grandfathered/legacy plan) and prohibit mandatory waiting periods (47 CFR 54.1808(e)(6)(iii)) and restrictions on switching plans (Para. 166 of the Report and Order).
