Shadow Lake PTA

Shadow Lake Elementary

Supply Pick-Up Day

Now that the State of Washington has begun the “Safe Start” phase, we are (finally!) able to move forward with a plan to return student materials.  We will have student materials from the classroom(s), pre-purchased yearbooks, & medications available for drive-by pick-up next week. Please keep the following in mind: 

  • If your LAST NAME begins with the letter A – L, your pick up day will be Tuesday, June 16th from 9:30 AM – 11:30 AM and again from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM
  • If your LAST NAME begins with the letter M – Z, your pick up day will be Wednesday, June 17th from 9:30 AM – 11:30 AM and again from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM
  • There will be signs and people directing the flow of traffic for this pick-up event
  • For the health & safety of everyone involved, everybody (students included) must remain in their vehicle the entire time – social distancing is a must.  (There will be no on-campus visits of any kind to classrooms, playground, bathrooms, etc.)
  • We highly encourage people to consider using PPE (personal protective equipment – masks, gloves, have hand sanitizer readily available) during this event
  • If you are someone falls into a high-risk category as defined by the CDC and/or have specific concerns or need special accommodations, please email sloffice@tahomasd.us for special arrangements
  • Unfortunately, due to reasons of confidentiality & for personal safety, we cannot have friends/neighbors picking up another student’s material(s)

We understand that this is (and has been) a very stressful time for everyone involved – families, students, staff members, etc.  We are doing everything we reasonably can whilst keeping safety/health first and following CDC guidelines.  Thank you in advance for understanding the expectations set forth in this process as we all work collaboratively towards the end of this very historic school year.

Scholastic READ-A-PALOOZA Virtual Book Fair!

Dear families,
Our school will celebrate the power of reading at the upcoming Online Scholastic Book Fair. You are invited to help our school create a culture of reading, build our school libraries, and you will have the opportunity to shop and select books with your child for your home library! A portion of all the proceeds will go back to our school – your support makes a difference!

The more your children read with you at home, the better their comprehension, vocabulary, and fluency. Check out this reading research and find more information on how you can support your child’s reading life at home: http://s-bf.com?u=48xm

So, let’s get ready and make this a summer of reading to remember! You’re invited to shop our Read-a-Palooza Virtual Book Fair May 18 through September 4, 2020 to support our school and help students discover favorite characters, series, and collections all summer long.

The Tiger Fund Starts Today!

It’s true!

This year, our Tiger Family PTA will provide just over $50 per student ($25,000 total) toward school programs, assemblies, community events and field trip experiences this year. We’re even helping create a brand-new sensory room for our students! 

We’re excited to invite you to help make all of this possible by participating in our Tiger Annual Fund. 100% of the donations will stay right here at Shadow Lake so it’s an excellent way to make a BIG impact for our kids. 

  • Literacy programs for all 475+ students
  • STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) experiences in Kindergarten through 5th grade
  • Family nights building our community
  • School-wide art lessons
