Starting Strong
Dear Entiat Families,

One daily habit can set your child up for success for years to come: Showing up at school in person as often as possible. When children and teens regularly attend school in person, they’re more likely to develop their whole selves—personally, socially, academically, and emotionally. They’re routinely able to connect with friends and adults, collaborate and problem-solve, make decisions, think critically, be creative, and engage in hands-on learning. As parents and caregivers, we all want to give our children the best possible chance at a happy, healthy, successful future. Showing up matters.

Thank you for the trust you place in Entiat School District and for the many ways you support learning at home. I look forward to working alongside you as we help every student build strong habits, develop confidence, and make meaningful progress throughout the year.

Sincerely,

Bill Eagle

Bill Eagle
Superintendent



Empezando con el pie derecho
Estimadas familias de Entiat:



Hay un hábito diario que puede ayudar a preparar a su hijo o hija para tener éxito durante muchos años: asistir a la escuela en persona con la mayor regularidad posible. Cuando las niñas, los niños y los jóvenes asisten regularmente a clases, tienen más oportunidades de desarrollarse plenamente en lo personal, social, académico y emocional. También pueden convivir con sus amistades y con los adultos de la escuela, colaborar, resolver problemas, tomar decisiones, pensar de manera crítica, ser creativos y participar en actividades prácticas. Como madres, padres y personas cuidadoras, todos queremos darles a nuestros hijos la mejor oportunidad posible de tener un futuro feliz, saludable y exitoso. Estar presentes en la escuela sí hace la diferencia.



Gracias por la confianza que depositan en el Distrito Escolar de Entiat y por todas las maneras en que apoyan el aprendizaje en casa. Espero con gusto trabajar junto a ustedes para ayudar a que cada estudiante forme buenos hábitos, desarrolle confianza y logre avances importantes durante todo el año escolar.

Atentamente,



Bill Eagle

Thank you so much to everyone who attended our high school Leadership class's first annual Easter Eggstravaganza! We had an even better turnout than we expected and are already talking about how we can improve for next year. We really appreciated your support! Have a great spring break!

To stay in compliance with the state's requirement to conduct monthly emergency exercises, today we practiced evacuating the building when the alarm goes off. The alarm today went out at 9:35 am and all students and staff were safely our by 9:39. All floors were swept, bathrooms checked and students accounted for during the exercise. Communication between administrators and evacuation leades went flawlessly and the "All Clear" was given at 9:40 am. Our staff and students did a tremendous job.

Please join us in welcoming Bill Eagle as our new Superintendent, beginning July 1, pending board approval!

The Entiat School District recently hosted three finalists for the position of Superintendent. As part of the interview process, students from both the elementary school and the middle/high school had the opportunity to meet with and interview the candidates.

Students shared their perspectives about their school and what they hope to see in district leadership. Student involvement was an important part of the interview process, giving candidates the opportunity to hear directly from students about their experiences and priorities in Entiat schools.

Besides interviewing in front of the school board/administration, certfied staff and classified staff, candidates also met at a community forum and answered questions drawn from the community.

Parents & Community Members;

The annual Elementary Holiday Concert will be held Thursday, December 11 beginning at 6:30 PM.

Students should arrive by 6:15 PM. Students should wear nice clothes. Holiday accessories are encouraged, however please no flashing lights or reindeer antlers. Santa hats, scarves, and holiday jewelry are good. All students will go to their classrooms first to leave coats, etc. and their teachers (or appropriate adult supervisors) will bring them to where they need to be for the concert. Kindergarten and First Grade students will sit with their parents as soon as they are finished with their part of the concert. The other students will sit with their classes in designated areas before and after their performances. Students and families should stay for the entire concert (it will last 45 minutes to an hour long). I hope to see everyone there.

Musically Yours,

Last year, a curriculum review team piloted several Social Studies programs to determine the best fit for our students in grades 6–12. After careful consideration, the team selected HMH Social Studies as the curriculum that best aligns with our district’s goals and state standards.

We are now inviting parents of 6–12th grade students to preview the selected curriculum materials prior to its final adoption by our School Board. This is a great opportunity to see what your student will be learning and how the materials support engaging, standards-based instruction.

If you would like to review the HMH Social Studies curriculum, please contact the Entiat School District Office to schedule an appointment.

📞 District Office Phone: 509-784-1800 #3
📅 Preview Dates: 11/10 – 11/18 at 3:00 pm
📍 Location: Entiat School District Office

We appreciate your partnership in supporting high-quality instruction for all Entiat students!

Monica Gomez-Araujo taught our community about Día de los Muertos tonight through an event she planned as part of her senior project. She did an amazing job!

ISO! Our Middle School Agriculture students are gearing up for hands-on labs exploring natural fibers, and we could use your help! We are in search of scraps of material made from: -Cotton -Hemp or Jute -Leather or Suede -Linen -Silk - Wool Before purchasing new materials, we thought we would reach out to the community to see if anyone would be willing to donate scraps that we can repurpose, and get them out of your way while we're at it. If you have any scrap of the above materials sitting around at home, or know someone that might, please reach out to Mrs. Tewell (ltewell@g.entiatschools.org), send them to the school with a student, or drop them off in the office. Thank you for supporting Ag Education in our community! We appreciate it!
