A message from the Principal . . .<br />

Dear <strong>Sacajawea</strong> Family,<br />

I want to officially welcome all of you to the 2013-2014 school year! Summer has come and gone and now it is<br />

time to continue with the excellent traditions of <strong>Sacajawea</strong>, as well as to introduce new staff and revisit our<br />

school vision.<br />

<strong>Sacajawea</strong> staff has been busy preparing for another amazing year. Over the summer break the school has<br />

been cleaned, repainted and reorganized. Our dedicated staff has been working hard to ensure a successful<br />

start of school on Wednesday, September 4, 2013.<br />

This will be my second year as principal of <strong>Sacajawea</strong>, and I am thrilled at the opportunity to continue the<br />

outstanding work as we engage in the educational process together. The middle school years are critical times<br />

of development for students and families alike, and I look forward to working with all of you to make this year<br />

successful. I am a lifelong educator who brings a firm commitment to students and families as well as a love of<br />

learning and problem solving.<br />

We have a few changes in staff; however, we warmly welcome the following new Warrior educators:<br />

Jaicele Wallace, LA/SS Teacher<br />

Kirsten Kerr, Speech Therapist<br />

While not a new staff member, ELL teacher Mary Ann Arens will be joining our staff full-time and will be<br />

completing her administrative internship this year.<br />

As we begin this new year, our mission continues to be that every <strong>Sacajawea</strong> Warrior will be prepared<br />

for success in high school and beyond. This means that students will learn the content needed for success,<br />

master the study skills and strategies necessary to learn and retain that knowledge, and learn to consistently<br />

demonstrate positive academic behaviors. In short, they will learn how to learn so that they are prepared for the<br />

increased challenges of high school and wherever life takes them after that.<br />

***6th GRADE ORIENTATION ON FRIDAY, AUGUST 23rd, FROM 12:30-3:00. (see page 2)***


continued from page 1—A Message from the Principal<br />

We will continue to strive to make our vision a reality through three school improvement goals:<br />

1. Increase student achievement through high-quality, effective instruction every day.<br />

2. Increase student achievement by promoting, teaching, and recognizing positive behavior.<br />

3. Increase student achievement by partnering with families and community to support students.<br />

In order for your student to be successful, he/she will be enrolled in rigorous classes and be given access to<br />

a wide array of electives. We also encourage all students to participate in at least one after school activity,<br />

club or school sport. We know that students who are connected to school beyond the academic day find<br />

more success at school and enjoy school more.<br />

We know that a student’s success is connected to a partnership between student, school and family. I<br />

strongly encourage you to remain active in that partnership this school year. Your middle schooler needs<br />

your involvement in school! Some ways to stay involved are:<br />

Talk with your student regularly about their work at school and his/her progress<br />

Have conversations with your student about the connection between school now and his/her future<br />

goals<br />

Check ParentVUE (see page 9) and your student’s planner regularly<br />

Communicate often with teachers about your student’s learning and progress<br />

Volunteer at school<br />

Serve as a mentor here at <strong>Sacajawea</strong><br />

As a school community, we want you to know our door is always open. Please come visit, get involved, and<br />

be a Warrior! As the year progresses, we will provide current information for you at our website, in our main<br />

office, and through the ParentVUE and StudentVUE. Please access our website at http://www.fwps.org/sac<br />

for updated information.<br />

I look forward to getting to know you and working together to ensure your student is successful this school<br />

year!<br />

Warm regards,<br />

JoAnne J. Landis, Principal<br />

-<br />

Orientation day is to welcome the 6th graders to our campus, have them meet new people in a safe<br />

environment and make them feel comfortable and less nervous about middle school. Sixth<br />

graders leave the orientation day feeling like they are wanted at their new school and that it is a<br />

good place to be. Additionally, the orientation day establishes the relationship between the WEB<br />

(Where Everybody Belongs) Leaders and the 6th graders so that the 6th graders know who the<br />

WEB Leaders are, what their purpose is and what they can expect in the way of support<br />

throughout the year.<br />

All incoming 6th graders must provide<br />

documentation of having received the Tdap<br />

immunization unless you previously provided this<br />

information to your elementary school.<br />

It could be a matter of life or . . .<br />

Contact the school nurse or principal if your<br />

Fee Schedule<br />

PLEASE—NO BILLS LARGER THAN A $50<br />

Part of the Superintendent’s recommendation to the <strong>School</strong> Board,<br />

and the final budget as adopted by the <strong>School</strong> board, is the<br />

elimination of many (not ALL) of the student fees the school<br />

district charges our families. As we continue to look for ways to<br />

remove opportunity barriers for our students, eliminating fees<br />

associated with courses is another step in the right direction to<br />

ensure all students can access coursework. Eliminating fees does<br />

NOT mean that we are eliminating programs or courses.<br />

Some of the SAC fees now covered are: Workbooks and<br />

publications, class fees and planners. The first one will be free,<br />

second one charged at cost.<br />

Athletic Participation Fees, All Day Kindergarten Tuition,<br />

Preschool Tuition and the lunch program will still have required<br />

fees. (These programs are not Basic Education).<br />

Look for more information on the Sac and District websites as it<br />

becomes available.<br />

Yearbook $25.00<br />

ASB (Required for athletics and clubs) $15.00<br />

Payment can be made to the cafeteria directly (please make check<br />

SAFE SCHOOLS TIPINE<br />

CALL OR TEXT<br />

24 hours a day<br />

(253) 945-SAFE (7233)<br />

Please call or text our “Safe <strong>School</strong>s Tipline” to report any knowledge of:<br />

the possession or potential use of a firearm or any other weapon;<br />

any potential act of violence against persons or school facilities;<br />

information relating to the safety of any student;<br />

information relating to a crime on school or other district property;<br />

anyone unlawfully possessing property of the <strong>Federal</strong> <strong>Way</strong> <strong>Public</strong> <strong>School</strong>s, students, staff, or patrons.<br />

<strong>School</strong> Bus Safety and Other Reminders<br />

The <strong>Sacajawea</strong> parking lot and bus pick-up/drop-off area can get very congested at the beginning<br />

and ending of each school day. If you are picking up your student, please pull down to the end of the<br />

bus parking area to pick-up your student at the end of the day.<br />

Please do not exceed 8 mph in the parking lot, and remember that the school buses always have<br />

the right of way. Don’t forget that the speed limit on Dash Point Road is 20 mph in a school zone<br />

when students are present.<br />

At the end of the school day in particular, students must stay behind the yellow safety line that is painted on the edge of<br />

the sidewalk. Students should wait for the bus without pushing and shoving so that there is no danger of someone<br />

falling in front of a moving bus.<br />

In addition, students must use a crosswalk when crossing Dash Point Road (Highway 509) and Pacific Highway. It is<br />

very dangerous for students to jay walk, or cross outside a crosswalk, because the cars lack visibility on the busy roads.<br />

Finally, unless staying for a school-sponsored event, students should be off campus and headed home by 3:00 p.m.<br />

Thank you for your support!<br />

New online grade book and student information system coming<br />

this year!<br />

Parents of students in <strong>Federal</strong> <strong>Way</strong> <strong>Public</strong> <strong>School</strong>s will notice significant<br />

changes when checking their children’s online grades and records next year.<br />

It’s all thanks to the current technology levy approved by voters in 2010, which<br />

provided funds for the implementation of a new student information system. The<br />

district’s IT staff conducted a thorough search for a replacement student<br />

information system. In the end, the district selected Synergy, which includes the<br />

new SIS and a suite of related products.<br />

Those products include an online grade book, and parent and student portals,<br />

which will be implemented by the district this fall. Many of the frustrations<br />

experienced by staff and parents in the past couple of years were due to the old<br />

student information system’s incompatibility with the grade book and other<br />

software. The new Synergy suite of products provides tight integration between<br />

the SIS, grade book, and portals.<br />

Parents will be able to view grades and other student information such as<br />

attendance history, and immunization status through a web-based portal called<br />

ParentVUE®, while students will use StudentVUE®. Many features will be the<br />

same between the two, but students will not be able to view their siblings’<br />

information.<br />

Staff, parents and students will receive more information before the system goes<br />

live, but here are a few of the features they can look forward to in the new<br />

system:<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Each parent and student will have his or her own log-in.<br />

Parents will be able to access information for all of their children through<br />

a single log-in.<br />

Parents and students will be able to access ParentVUE and StudentVUE<br />

via apps on Android and Apple mobile products.<br />

Parents can set personal preferences for text, phone call or email<br />

notifications if they want to know if their student is absent, tardy, a grade<br />

drops below a C, and so on.<br />

Students can save information on the system. Work started at school can<br />

be finished at home, as long as there’s an internet connection, and then<br />

submitted electronically.<br />
