Page 2 — EAST VALLEY SCHOOL DISTRICT NEWS School Board sets bond vote for Nov. 3 The East Valley School District Board of Directors passed a resolution in June that will place a $52.9 million bond on the ballot for November 3, 2015. This bond will fund district improvement projects at three of our schools. The bond will support renovating and expanding East Valley High School due to the aging 35-year-old facility and overcrowding caused by continued student enrollment growth. East Valley High School was originally built to accommodate 450 students and now serves over 850 students. The bond will also include funding to construct additional classrooms and a physical education facility at East Valley Central Middle School in order to support the continuing enrollment growth at that building. Also, security systems would be installed at both East Valley Central School and East Valley High School to protect our students from acts of violence. In addition, parking at Moxee Elementary School would be increased to accommodate increased traffic flow and provide additional space for parent and staff parking. The District Facility/Bond Committee, which includes parents, community members and various educators, began meeting in October 2014 to study the facility needs of the district and to prepare a recommendation to the EVSD Board of Directors. Committee members presented the $52.9 million bond recommendation during the regular board meeting this past June. The proposal included a recommendation to pay the bond off in a 15-year time period. With two current bonds being paid off in December 2015, the projected cost to tax payers will decrease from the current rate by 56 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value. The East Valley School District will be conducting community forums over the next few months to provide additional information related to the facility needs and bond. August 2015 Hi, everyone! My name is Russ Hill, the new assistant superintendent in the East Valley School District. I come to East Valley from the Highland School District, where I was the principal of Marcus Whitman-Cowiche Elementary and the director of Teaching and Learning. I received my B.A. degree from Central Washington University in elementary education, with math education and special education minors. I earned my master’s degree and principal certification from Heritage University, followed by my superintendent’s certification in 2013 from Washington State University. I had the good fortune of beginning my teaching career right here at Moxee Elementary, by completing my student teaching in Jan Delfel’s 2nd grade classroom during 1999. I have taught secondary math (both high and junior high), K-12 special education, and K-12 Title 1 in the Easton and West Valley School Districts. My administrative experience includes tenures at River View High School and, as I mentioned, Marcus Whitman-Cowiche Elementary. I bring experience at a variety of grade levels and in a variety of positions and am looking forward to using my experiences to provide leadership and positive contributions to the East Valley learning community. I am very excited to be joining the East Valley School District, getting to know our staff, students, parents, and community members and working together to ensure our students’ success. Please feel free to swing by my office or contact me via email ([email protected]) or phone (573-7321) at any time with questions, comments, or concerns. The majority of the Nov. 3 bond would support renovations and expansions for the currently overcrowded East Valley High School. Sincerely, — Russ Hill August 2015 EAST VALLEY SCHOOL DISTRICT NEWS — Page 3 EV athletic registration now online through FamilyID East Valley athletes will now register for their activity online with a convenient online registration program offered by FamilyID that is a secure registration platform that provides users with an easy, user-friendly way to register for athletics, and helps us to be more administratively efficient and environmentally responsible. When a parent/guardian registers through FamilyID, the system keeps track of their information in the FamilyID profile so that they can enter their information only once for multiple seasons and multiple family members. District officials believe that the online registration system will not only benefit the school athletic office, but will be a welcome change for parents/guardians, as well. Fees must still be submitted in the school office. For step-by-step instructions, go to: • For EVC athletes: www.familyid.com/east-valley-central-ms • For EVHS athletes: www.familyid.com/east-valleyhigh-school Athletic Practice Dates: • EVHS: August 19: First football practice • EVHS: August 24: First practices for girls soccer, volleyball and cross-country, and girls swimming • EVC: Fall sport practices begin on the first day of school on August 31 after school.

New principal Tami Scrivner is looking forward to welcoming all of the students who’ll be attending Terrace Heights Elementary School during the 2015-2016 school year! Ms. Scrivner has worked at Terrace Heights Elementary School since 2001, first serving as a kindergarten teacher for 12 years and then as the student learning improvement coordinator and coach for the past two years. She completed her principal certification and administrative internship in 2014. Ms. Scrivner is succeeding Bob Adamson, who retired as the school’s principal at the end of the 2014-2015 school year. THE’s Got Talent! On May 11, students and even a couple of staff members at Terrace Heights Elementary participated in an inaugural school-wide talent show that showcased the skills of more than 15 acts. Students from 3rd through 5th grades got the chance to show their skills at singing, dancing, playing piano, and playing guitar. The entertainment even included karate, hula hoops, magic tricks, and joke telling. Retiring principal Bob Adamson and “Dan the Jan” (janitor Dan Holzer) got in on the action, as well. It was wonderful to see so much talent and watch these students perform in front of their teachers and peers. We hope to continue this tradition and see even more talent next year. Congratulations to all our participants! — Tami Scrivner, Terrace Heights principal Tab collections at elementary schools help McDonald’s charity In June, East Valley Elementary principal Colleen Crowston, and new Terrace Heights Elementary principal Tami Scrivner, delivered over 600,000 pull tabs to the Ronald McDonald House in Spokane. The Moxee, Terrace Heights and East Valley elementary schools participate in a fun competition each year to collect pull tabs for Ronald McDonald House, which supports programs that benefits the families of seriously ill children. Why pull tabs? Ronald McDonald House Charities initiated its Tab Collection Program that raises funds through recyling because the tabs are made from a different type of metal than the rest of the can. Since the tabs are much smaller and cleaner than cans, Ronald McDonald House is able to handle the large volume that it receives. They are easily removed from the can and allow for any individual or community groups to participate. The three schools had fun collecting the tabs and competing with one another. More importantly, the staff and students were happy to be helping families in need. Fun fact: If the 600,000+ tabs collected at the East Val- ley schools this past year were to be lined up end to end, they would reach over 10 miles. Each building has begun collecting for the upcoming school year. The donated pull tabs can come from beverage cans as well as soup and single serving dishes. You may participate by dropping your collection off at any of the elementary building offices! Principals Tami Scrivner and Colleen Crowston with just some of the boxes of pull tabs collected for Spokane’s Ronald McDonald House. August 2015 EAST VALLEY SCHOOL DISTRICT NEWS — Page 5 Hall Auto’s Jaclyn Midkiff (standing in back at left) with members of Lisa Bartheld’s Leadership group and a pair of the new Buddy Benches that were purchased for East Valley Elementary. Leadership students earn “Change” award! A friendship-minded idea to assist new classmates drove East Valley Elementary School’s Leadership students into the elite list of winners of this past spring’s “Change Is Good” contest from Bob Hall Auto Dealerships. The contest asked youths througout the Yakima Valley to write how they could make their school or playground a better place. EVE’s Leadership group, which operates under the direction of Lisa Bartheld, wrote about the need for new students to have a place during lunch recess where they could go to meet their new classmates or visit with a student from the Leadership team. The school used the award to purchase new “Buddy Benches” that were installed this summer. “We have all had the experience of being the new kid or needing someone to spend time with,” shared Jaclyn Midkiff when she awarded the check for the benches during the May 3 ceremony at Sarg Hubbard Park The EVE Leadership group submitted one of just seven applications that were selected to share in $20,000 in awards from the local auto dealership. Applications came in from local organizations involving 763 children. — Colleen Crowston, EVE principal News from East Valley Central Middle School Meet our 2015 Crystal Apple Award winner Madeleine Funk, a teacher at East Valley Central Middle School, is the recipient of the 2015 East Valley Crystal Apple Award! Each spring, students, parents, staff members, and community members have the opportunity to nominate an outstanding employee from our schools to be recognized with the Crystal Apple Award. The nominations are submitted to the Crystal Apple Award Committee, which determines the finalist for the annual recognition. Ms. Funk has been an outstanding teacher in the East Valley School District for the past 14 years. Mark Roy, Chairman of the Crystal Apple Award Committee, recognized Ms. Funk on Thursday, May 7, for her outstanding work as an East Valley School District teacher. Ms. Funk was nominated for this prestigious award by East Valley student parent Julie Byers. Congratulations, Ms. Funk! t Pictured: Ms. Funk with her children, Cami and David. Page 6 — EAST VALLEY SCHOOL DISTRICT NEWS News from August 2015 East Valley High School East Valley’s Class of 2015 graduates 170 (including “thebenevolentone3”!) This year’s commencement ceremony at the Yakima SunDome the evening of June 6 affirmed to family and friends the special nature of each student in East Valley’s graduating class of 2015. But the conclusion of the speech by co-valedictorian Konner Sauve – which revealed the secret behind an ongoing social media mystery that had kept the school abuzz since last fall – helped to further solidify the importance of each young person who is a part of the entire EVHS student body. Co-valedictorians for the class were Konner Sauve and Weston Kroes, who completed their high school careers with perfect 4.0 grade point averages and are both heading to Spokane to continue their education. Konner is the son of Kevin and Brenda Sauve and will be starting school this fall at Gonzaga University. Weston is the son of Mardell Kroes and Art Kroes and will be enrolling at Whitworth University. Shannon Bloom, the daughter of Lowell and Renay Bloom, was the class salutatorian, with a g.p.a. of 3.99. She will be attending Willamette University. Other members of the EVHS class of 2015 who were recognized as Distinguished Scholars for having the top gpa’s among the graduating class were: • Hannah Harrington (3.97, University of Montana Western) • Navjot Kaur (3.96, University Of Washington) • Joslyn Magana (3.94, Perry Technical Institute) • Andre Nielsen (3.93, Central Washington University) • Miranda Lyman (3.92, State University of New York at Purchase) • Rose See (3.90, Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania) • Allison Eckert (3.90, University Of Washington) As part of the commencement ceremony, class members Miranda Lyman and Abby Bock sang a musical tribute to their graduating class. During his valedictorian speech, Sauve surprised everyone by revealing he had been the one who was posting an anonymous series of affirmational messages on Instagram about the students at EVHS. Throughout the school year, the co-valedictorian copied yearbook photos and located selfies to accompany his individual message about the positive talents, personalities, and contributions of this past year’s student body, as well as the class of 2014. The series from the account of “thebenevolentone3” included 657 postings. Although he did not quite finish putting up material for some of the underclassmen, a couple of new anonymous accounts have emerged to continue the process. Sauve’s Instagram project – and his revelation about it during the graduation speech – drew national media attention by ABC’s Good Morning America, Us magazine, MTV, and TV news affiliates throughout the country.

However, any NEW student including a kindergartner, must have a new application, even if older siblings have been receiving benefits. Complete and mail your meal application NOW. Do not wait for the first day of school. Applications may take up to ten (10) days to process. Applications have already been mailed to families.

Meal account prepayments will be accepted on August 18-19 from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. only at the High School Cafeteria. To avoid a zero balance and to help assure faster lunch lines, we encourage all parents and students to pay at least one week, or preferably, one month ahead of time for breakfast and lunches. If a student has no money in his/her account, the lunchroom staff will offer a courtesy snack at no charge. If checks are returned twice due to non-sufficient funds, further meals will be on a cash basis only. Students may access their meal account with their student ID number (same number as last year). Student numbers will be available after August 18, 2015. Our goal is to consistently and accurately track the money you deposit with us. You may go online or call 573-7466 on school days between 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. if you have questions regarding your student’s meal account. Account balances will automatically follow your student if he or she transfers to another school within our district and any balance will carry over to the following school year. East Valley Food service does not include any peanut products in our meals. Exception: EVHS/EVC offer a la cart items that may include peanuts, granola bars and trail mix. Please provide allergy information If your child has a life-threatening food allergy, a meeting with food service and a diet prescription is required prior to students receiving meals at school. Contact the school nurse during the school year at 833-9375 or Darlene LaBella anytime at 573-7435. Student immunization requirements Washington state law RCW 28A.210.080 requires all children to have the proper immunization records for certain vaccine-preventable diseases in order to attend school. Skipping vaccinations or missing vaccine doses makes it more likely that your child can get sick or give an illness to another child. East Valley is taking a firm stand starting with the 20152016 school year by requiring the necessary immunizations for all students attending school this fall. Please note that if you fail to provide the district proof of the required immunizations in accordance with state law, your child will be excluded from starting and attending school until the district has received the following: 1. A current immunization record from your physician with the Certificate of Immunization Status showing that your child has received any current and/or missing vaccine(s); OR 2. A Certificate of Exemption showing you have a medical, religious, or personal reason for not vaccinating your child. Please note that RCW 28A.210.090 now requires the certificate of exemption to be signed by your healthcare provider. Kindergarten entry requires: • 5 doses of Dtap (required K-12) • 3 doses of Hepatitis B (required K-12) • 2 doses MMR or MMRV (required K-12) • 2 doses Varicella – Chicken pox (required K-8) • 4 doses of Polio vaccine (required K-12) In addition, all children attending 6th-12th grades must show proof of the Tdap vaccination. Starting this 2015-16 school year, all students in 7th and 8th grade are required by law to have 2 doses of the chicken pox (varicella) vaccine or obtain a letter from a licensed healthcare provider to verify that your student had chicken pox disease in the past. If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the district office at 573-7300.

Page 12 — EAST VALLEY SCHOOL DISTRICT NEWS August 2015 BACK TO school Student Health and Safety East Valley School District students with life-threatening health conditions are required to notify the child’s school before attending school. Those conditions include anything that puts the child in danger of death during the school day if a medication or treatment order and a nursing plan are not in place. Washington state law requires that such students be excluded from school until the necessary procedures are in place. The law applies to students with a life-threatening condition who are new to the district and students who are already attending school. Children with life-threatening conditions such as severe bee sting or severe food allergies, severe asthma, diabetes, severe seizures, etc., are now required to have a medication or treatment order and nursing plan in place before they start school. The medication or treatment order must be from the child’s licensed health care provider. It is vital to your child’s safety during the school day that if your child has such a condition you immediately notify your school’s principal and school nurse. The necessary forms will be provided and a time will be arranged for you to meet with your child’s school nurse. The school nurse has limited hours during the summer. Messages may be left by calling the District Office at 573-7300. PARENTS/GUARDIANS: Please call your child’s school and tell a teacher or school counselor about any healthrelated or personal situation that may be affecting your child. Your comments and inquiries regarding disability, family situa tions, and/or educational needs will be kept completely confidential. This information will help us better meet your student’s needs. And please tell us if your child experiences health or family changes during the school year. When to Keep Your Child Home from School It seems like there is always something going around when it comes to kids. Here are some guidelines to help you to know when to keep your child home from school: APPEARANCE/DISCOMFORT: If your child appears unusually tired, irritable, pale, or has an unusual lack of appetite, you may want to consider not sending him or her to school. DIARRHEA: If your child has experienced vomiting and/ or diarrhea during the night, or in the morning before going to school, please do not send them to school. Your child should have had no diarrhea, vomiting or fever for 24 hours before sending them back to school. EYES: We understand that eyes are sometimes swollen and irritated by allergens or virus. Because of the extremely contagious nature of Bacterial Pink Eye you are asked to consult with your doctor before sending your child to school with these symptoms: Thick mucus or pus draining from the eye, or if eye is red, puffy, itchy and/or painful. Your child can attend school 24 hours after starting medical treatment for Bacterial Pink Eye. FEVER: Temperature of 100° or higher is an indication that your child could be contagious. Giving a child Tylenol or Ibuprofen will bring the temperature down, and make them more comfortable, but will not prevent them from passing their illness on to classmates. Your child must have no fever for 24 hours before sending them back to school. RASH: A body rash, especially with fever, itching, and open and/or draining sores indicates something contagious. HEAD LICE: Children cannot return to school until their hair has been treated with lice shampoo and most of the dead eggs (nits) have been removed from the hair. The student needs to check in with the nurse before returning to class. SEVERE SORE THROAT/COUGH: If your child has a fever and/or swollen glands in the neck, he or she may be contagious and should not be in school. In addition, a frequent, severe cough can be a distraction to the class. OTHER ILLNESSES: If your child has been diagnosed by your healthcare provider, with a contagious illness, please notify the school as soon as possible. (Examples: chicken pox, pink eye, flu, whooping cough, MRSA, etc.) UPDATE HEALTH CARE RECORDS AT SCHOOL: Be sure to update health care records at school if your child has newly acquired allergies or has an illness that the school nurse should be aware of. Our goal is to keep all of our children as safe and healthy as possible. It is only with your help that we are able to accomplish this. If you have any questions, please call the East Valley School district nurse, Melody-Ann Luke, RN, at 833-9375.

U.S. POSTAGE PAID Yakima, WA Permit No. 107 PreK-3 Team plans Pre-kindergarten screenings and quarterly professional development for 2015-2016 The East Valley Early Learning PreK-3 Team’s goals for the 2015-2016 school year include providing professional development meetings quarterly for parents, caregivers, early learning partners, staff, and community designed to coordinate extra efforts in early learning math and literacy skills. The team is also offering a preK screening for all 4- and 5-year-olds entering kindergarten a year from now during the fall of 2016 with the collected data to be used in determining the needs of our incoming students. Screenings will be held Aug. 18-20 from 6 to 7 p.m. in the East Valley Elementary libary. In the fall of 2014, Special Programs director Mary Kay Weber and district administrator Jeri Young were given the task of creating an East Valley PreK-3 Early Learning Team with efforts directed in collaborating an effective bridge between our preK community and our schools. Staff members Tiffany Nygard (East Valley Elementary), Jillian Robillard (Moxee Elementary) Karlyn Rath (Terrace Heights Elementary), and Julie Milburn (Moxee and Terrace Heights elementaries) joined with Mary Kay and Jeri last fall to create the EVSD preK-3 team. The group has an established strategic plan with goals outlined for the coming year. The team met monthly and reached out throughout the year in collaboration with some of our early learning partners as the EV BRIDGE (Bridging Resources & Increasing Developmental Growth in Early learning) in efforts to improve kindergarten readiness. The EVSD Early Learning PreK-3 Team looks forward to its work ahead to serve students during the upcoming school year.
