Hello Federal Way Parents, Families, and Community,

The 2017-18 school year is in full swing, and exciting things are happening throughout the district.

At every grade level, we are focusing on literacy. Schools are reviewing data on early release days to focus on instruction and to respond to student’s instructional needs. We know that when scholars read at grade level, they are much more likely to be successful academically. Research demonstrates the important connection of students reading at or above standard by third grade as one predictor of graduation. Please encourage your child to read, in particular nonfiction texts like newspapers, information magazines, and science articles.
