Student Handbook

Dear Southworth Families,

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you and your child (ren) into our Southworth Elementary School community for this upcoming school year. If you are returning, then you already know what a great school we have. If you are new to Southworth, you will find our school is outstanding for many reasons. First, we have hard working and dedicated staff members that genuinely care about their students and plan meaningful and engaging lessons for your child (ren).  As a Kids at Hope school, our dedicated staff believe that all kids can learn.  As a school we focus on student growth.

Finally, Southworth parents are the best! They support the teachers and the school and are actively involved in the daily activities within the school. Our staff encourages and appreciates your involvement at school whether it is through classroom assistance, Booster Club activities, or active communication with your child’s teacher. We hope to see and hear from you often. Please sign up to volunteer and remember to join our Booster Club.

This handbook was developed as a communication link between the Yelm Community Schools, Southworth Elementary School, and you. I hope it provides the necessary information, explanation of procedures and outlines policies that are critical to a successful school year. Please read this handbook and keep it in a safe place for you to review when needed.

Respectfully,

Charles Cook, Principal
