Evergreen Elementary School is honored to be one of two elementary schools in Washington State recognized as a 2024 U.S. Department of Education Green Ribbon School!
Evergreen is proud to recognize our school’s achievements such as its comprehensive STEM program, its outdoor learning environment, its native plant garden, its raised vegetable garden, its accessible hiking trails, and its Outdoor Transitional Kindergarten program.
Our COVID-19 Site Safety Plan is now available for the 2021-2022 school year.
I will be teaching our Child Safety curriculum later in the school year. You probably remember some of the “Homelinks” I have sent home in the years past. But, in the meantime, here is a site that has videos, pamphlets, and many more resources for you as a parent, who wants to keep your precious kids safe.

A New Strategy to Keep Kids Safe
You entrust your kids to us every day, so we do our best to keep them safe. That’s why, after careful consideration, we’ve adopted the Second Step Child Protection Unit. The unit is research-based and involves training for adults and lessons for students in grades K-5.

Evergreen has enjoyed a very successful and long running reading program called Reading Is Fundamental. This program has benefited our students for seventeen years! Every child chooses a book from a wide selection of titles that is his/hers to keep. They take these books home to add to their personal library.

If we practice fire drills, does that mean that we are going to have a fire? NO! But, if there is, we will know what to do to keep ourselves and others safe. It’s the same with preventing sexual abuse, only the statistics are more sobering. 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 20 boys will be sexually abused by the time they reach 18. 90% of the time, the abuse is by someone known by the child. 36% of the time it is by an older child. There is no one type of offender. It can be a friend, family member, coach, teacher, clergy, etc. of any gender. It’s important for kids to know that it is never too late to report.
