Rachel Carson Elementary

  Hi Carson Families,

We have a brand new math enrichment program sponsored by our PTSA called Math Challenge.

Math Challenge is a series of math problems published every other week on our Math Challenge webpage. Students from K to 5 are invited to participate. There’s no sign up for this program. For more information, please refer to that webpage.

There will be 15 math challenges throughout 2019-2020 school year. The first will be available to view and print at the above listed webpage next Friday, September 27th. The due date is October 3rd (no later than 3:20 PM).

Students may drop off their submissions in the school office, or give to the classroom teacher. Thank you!

Math Challenge Team

Our 5th grade needs your help!

  Next Tuesday, Sept. 24th, we are having our first fundraiser to help support 5th grade camp. This fundraiser is as simple as heading to MOD pizza, ordering a pizza, and saying "We are here to support Rachel Carson Elementary". A generous portion of the profit will be sent to Rachel Carson after the event. This is a fun event to not only support the 5th grade, but to help build community among families from Rachel Carson. Everyone is invited! We hope to see you there!

  School Pictures (individuals) will be taken this Friday at school. You may order via the flyer your son/daughter will be bringing home, or you can order your package online. To order online, click HERE. Then enter this Online Access Key: R48HH2YG. All orders are due by this Friday, Sept. 20th.

  This event is open to all and specifically directed at families who are new to the United States and relocating to the district. The following topics will be discussed:

•     Navigating the school system.
•     Special sessions for parents of elementary and secondary students
•     Pacific Northwest activities and culture
•     Relocation challenges and America 101 for international families
•     Meet and learn from PTSA and Parents

This activity takes place on Saturday, September 21st, at the LWSD Resource Center. Click HERE for more information.
