Hi Totem Families, our "off and away" cell phone policy has prompted questions about how to get in touch with students during the school day. To reach your student, please call the main office phone number (360)965-0500. If it is a non emergency call, we can take a message for your student to deliver between classes. If you would like to speak with your student right away, we will call them to the office to speak with you in minutes.
Our "off and away" phone policy aims to reduce distractions and keep kids engaged in learning. Thank you for your support.

Please join us!
Totem Middle School summarizes our phone policy with the phrase "OFF and away, but lunch is okay." We ask that all students keep their phones turned off and stored away in their backpack during class time and passing periods. Students are allowed to turn on and use their cell phones at lunch time.
Why do we ask students to keep their phones turned OFF? Check out this video from Edutopia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3jQbyiov-k&feature=youtu.be
A big thank you to Preston Dwoskin for coming to share his message with our Totem Teammates last week. You're an inspiration.

Just a few missed days here and there, even if they’re excused absences, can add up to too much lost learning time and put your student behind in school. This is as true in kindergarten as it is in high school. Be a #HERO...Here Everyday Ready On Time!
