Everett Public Schools to Start Hybrid Learning Model 4a Starting March 1st
Beginning March 1, Grades 2 and 3 will be returning to the classroom in hybrid learning model 4a, unless circumstances require a delay.  This will include welcoming back the following students:

Grades 2 and 3

​Families that have requested to return to the building will be attending in an AA/X/BB hybrid model while other families chose to stay 100% remote. This will have group A in the buildings Monday and Tuesday and group B in the buildings on Thursday and Friday. For days when the hybrid alternating group is not in person, students will be engaged in asynchronous teacher-directed independent learning.

For more information, please visit Everett Public Schools COVID Updates.

Current Status

Yearbook Writing Submissions
 A huge thank you to all of the students that submitted original poems for the yearbook!  We have such talented writers at Gateway, that the Yearbook Club thought it would be fun to give our students (and teachers too) one more chance to submit something they wrote.  For the month of February, students can submit an original short story on any topic (fact or fiction).  Please include your name, a title, and keep the word count to under 400 words.  You need to email your short stories to Mrs. Stoskopf at gstoskopf@everettsd.org  by Friday, February 26th.
 
​February’s yearbook picture theme is hobbies.  Take a picture of yourself doing something fun…painting, playing the piano, board games, reading, video games, hiking, playing with your pets, you name it! Have your pictures uploaded using the SNAP app to the Hobbies category by Friday, February 26th.
