Yelm Community Schools

Welcome to the 2023-24 school year at Yelm Community Schools!

Dear Students and Families of Yelm Community Schools,

As we prepare for the upcoming academic year, we are eager to introduce our new Rights and Responsibilities Handbook. This handbook focuses on safety, academics, and social-emotional health to ensure a supportive and enriching environment for all.

Safety is our top priority, and the handbook provides essential guidance on navigating the school premises, emergency procedures, and fostering respect and inclusivity. We want every student to feel secure and cared for within our halls.

Academics play a crucial role in your educational journey, and the handbook offers valuable insights into effective time management, study techniques, and strategies for success. We aim to empower you with the tools and knowledge needed to thrive academically.

We understand the importance of social-emotional well-being. The handbook emphasizes the significance of positive relationships, empathy, and self-care. It provides resources for managing stress and emotional challenges, ensuring a supportive community for everyone.

By following the guidelines outlined in the Rights and Responsibilities Handbook, we can create an environment where safety, academics, and social-emotional health intertwine. This will enable you to flourish both academically and personally.

We encourage you to review the handbook together as a family and discuss its contents. Familiarizing yourselves with the guidelines will help ensure a smooth and fulfilling school experience.

Should you have any questions or concerns, we are here to support you every step of the way. Our goal is to create a safe, nurturing, and vibrant educational community at Yelm Community Schools.

We look forward to the upcoming academic year, filled with opportunities for growth, learning, and memorable experiences. Together, let's create a remarkable journey of education and personal development.

Thank you,
Chris Woods
Superintendent
