Nine Mile Falls Elementary’s annual Color Run is quickly approaching on June 6. Our goal is to raise $6,000 to provide school supplies for students next year. Reach out to your friends, family, neighbors and local businesses to see if they are willing to donate. Our PTG is offering daily prizes for money submitted each day. To qualify for a daily prize, students need to submit at least $1 to their teacher. Your student will then receive a ticket that can be redeemed for select prizes leading up to the run on June 6. On the day of the event, there will be music, walking and running activities, chalk powder dispersed among students, and popsicles to help everyone cool down. If you have any questions, please contact your student’s teacher or the school office for more information. Thank you for all your continued support, we really do have the best community.

Good morning, Nine Mile families, We hope you enjoyed your four-day weekend. We have only a few weeks of school remaining, but we’ve packed them with many fun, end-of-the-year activities. Please see the attached June newsletter to help you navigate the final weeks of school. As we wrap up this school year, we wanted to remind you of some things to take care of this summer to ensure a smooth transition into the next school year: All students with Asthma, Diabetes, EpiPens, and Seizures must turn in a new Emergency Care Plan for 2025-2026. It must be signed by the student's healthcare provider and parent/guardian. Students must also bring their unexpired medications to the school nurse or secretary by the first day of school. If your student had a care plan this year, we would mail you a new one to complete for next year. You can also find all health forms at https://www.9mile.org/o/district/page/health-forms. For students who have Dietary restrictions (Gluten Free, etc) please connect with your child's doctor over the summer to complete a "Diet Order" so the school can accommodate. You will find the form on our school district website: Request for Special Dietary Accommodations If your child needs medication for next school year (OTC-Tylenol, Prescribed Medications), connect with your doctor and complete a "Medication Request Form". On the first day of school, parent can bring in the med form and designated medication to the front office. HS-300A Medication Request Form In Washington state, all children must be vaccinated prior to entering school unless the parent/guardian completes a certificate of exemption. Please refer to our school district website for the certificate of exemption form: Certificate of Exemption Personal/Religious .Please refer to this site regarding what Immunizations need to be completed prior to school starting or connect with your child's physician: Required Immunizations for School Year 2024-2025 If you have any questions about these topics or other health concerns, please reach out to Karen McPherson, School Nurse, by email Kmcpherson@9mile.org or call 509-340-4071 (LSE Healthroom).
