Hosted by KMAS’s Jeff Slakey with Principal Paula Canady, Academic Assistant Principal & Multilingual Coordinator Cat Kelly, and Superintendent Wyeth Jessee.What you’ll hearHow Evergreen’s 50/50 dual language works (half-day Spanish, half-day English by content area), and why it’s open district-wide via lottery and parent transport.Real growth data: third-grade reading moving from 15.4% to 21.4%, with a 30% near-term goal—and momentum building across all grades.Classroom culture: daily morning meetings, integrated supports, and how staff build confidence so students can take academic risks in both languages.Secondary pathways: World Languages, STAMP testing, and students earning the Seal of Biliteracy.Staffing realities: recruiting bilingual/bi-literate educators and supporting visas/certification to maintain program continuity.Levy basics (February ballot): what local dollars cover at Evergreen—after-school sports, paraeducators, the assistant principal role, integrated supports, custodial/maintenance, and utilities.Family engagement: literacy nights, classroom writing shares, acceleration team celebrations, PTSO, and volunteer opportunities.Upcoming forum: Mountain View Elementary — Nov. 18 @ 5:00 PM (Shelton School District). Bring questions; replays are posted for those who can’t attend.#SheltonSchools #EvergreenElementary #DualLanguage #EarlyLiteracy #FamilyEngagement #MasonCountyWA #SheltonWA","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/8b4aqzT8tkdH6MLi186ujKO11Bhjd2UG29GWtIKSvFE/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8yM2Nh/YzMyMmYwODliZGZh/Nzk1ZTVjNjIzOGZm/NGVkNC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
