🏫 State Street High School families are invited to New Student Orientation & Open House on August 27 from 4–6 p.m. We look forward to welcoming students and families before the first day of school.
👋 Please join us in welcoming Officer Rachael Humberg, our new School Resource Officer!
Officer Humberg has served with the Sedro-Woolley Police Department for five years and has already spent time building positive relationships with students, staff and our school community through her work as a patrol officer. She is excited to build on those connections in her new role as SRO.
Her primary goal is helping keep our schools safe, but she also wants students to know she is there as a resource. SWHS students are encouraged to stop by her office near the counseling office, say hello in the hallway or reach out if they have a concern. Even if she isn't the right person to help, Officer Humberg hopes she can connect students with someone who can.
When she's not working, you can often find Officer Humberg in the mountains. She's an avid trail runner and snowboarder who has recently been exploring Mount Baker. This summer, her adventures took her even farther from home, including a weeklong hiking trip through the Dolomites!
We're excited to welcome Officer Humberg to this new role and look forward to seeing the relationships she builds with our students, staff and families throughout the school year. 💙🤍

Transition to Kindergarten (TK) families: We know many of you are eagerly awaiting updates, and we appreciate your patience as we complete the screening and placement process.
A few important reminders:
• The first day of Transition to Kindergarten is October 1, 2026.
• TK classrooms will be located at Mary Purcell Elementary and Central Elementary.
• Most families will receive notification of acceptance or waitlist status by early next week.
• School assignments will be made later in September so that balanced classrooms can be created.
• The application process is not first come, first served. A limited number of openings are intentionally held until September to ensure families who may face barriers to early learning have the opportunity to participate.
Families whose children are placed on a waitlist will be contacted if additional openings become available. In the meantime, we encourage families to continue the screening process and maintain any community preschool enrollment plans they may already have in place.
Questions? Please contact Transition to Kindergarten Coordinator Paula Torgeson at ptorgeson@swsd101.org.
Thank you for your continued patience and support as we prepare to welcome our youngest learners!

The first day of the Skagit County Fair is in the books, and these two second graders represented Sedro-Woolley well!
Oliver, who will be attending Central Elementary this fall, and Wyatt, who will be attending Clear Lake Elementary, spent the day showing their chickens, learning from the judge, and building confidence along the way.
We're proud of the hard work, responsibility, and dedication our students show both in and out of the classroom. Great job, Oliver and Wyatt! 🐔🏆
