Totem-Falls: Weekly Communication

Dear Toten Falls Families,

Tonight is our SUPER COOL SCIENCE FAIR at 6:30 PM. Our students have worked very hard on their projects. Please feel free to come view them!

YEARBOOK ORDERS are due this Friday, March 16^th. Each student should have received an order form. I have also attached a copy that you can print.

ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS AND ABSENCE REPORTING: Washington State law requires children to attend a public school, private school, or district-approved home school program. Regular attendance is essential to a childs success in school. Our policy at Totem Falls is to make sure all of our students are in attendance or accounted for if they are absent. This is for their academic benefit and their safety. If your child is going to be LATE or ABSENT, please notify the office prior to the start of the school day. This can be done by calling our 24 hour, message only, attendance line at 360.563.4751 or submitting it on Family Access. You can also call the main office line at 360.563.4750 after 7:45 AM. If your child does not arrive at school, and we have not heard from you, we will attempt to call you to verify your students safety. This can be very time consuming for our office staff so we ask that you please try to notify the office prior to the start of the school day.
