Welcome to Shaw Road, and welcome to the 2021-2022 school year!

We are excited to be welcoming all students this year and eagerly anticipating the start of school on September 2 (grades 1 – 6).  This is not quite the ‘normal’ start that we are used to due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.  Here are a few items you’ll want to note:

·       • Masks are required to worn in all indoor spaces by students, staff, and visitors/volunteers.  This is a legal requirement and an important safety measure to help safeguard the health of our students—most of whom are unvaccinated.

·       • Our teachers are working to provide distancing for students while in classes and during lunches wherever possible.  Fortunately, our current class sizes are reasonable in all grades, and this is helping with those issues.

·       • Teachers will be reaching out to families to schedule Connection Meetings with each family—please look for an email communication from your child’s teacher to set up that meeting.

·       • We will not have our Open House this year—in place will be our connection meetings.

·       • Our school start time is 9:15 a.m. Tuesday through Friday, and 10:15 a.m. on Mondays.  Dismissal is at 3:36 p.m. every day.

·       • The first day of school for Kindergarteners is Wednesday, September 8.

Class placement notices were emailed on August 25 – check your email for that notice.  If you haven’t received a notice of placement or heard from your child’s teacher by Friday, August 27, please contact our Main Office at 253-841-8675.

Here’s to the start of a great school year!
