Evergreen teachers have spent over six years improving instruction in the STEM areas of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. STEM education works to increase student ownership of learning by encouraging instruction that is driven by collaborative problem solving, discovery, and building understanding of phenomena.

With a STEM focus, students will be asked to demonstrate their work in authentic ways--through projects, plans, and presentations much like they will be required to do in their careers and in further learning. You will see students working independently and collaboratively and learning by asking questions that lead them to discovering solutions to authentic and complex problems. Community partners, industry leaders, higher education staff and families will play an increased role as partners in our students’ education.

We are excited to offer our students a unique opportunity to experience STEM focused education which will prepare them to explore greater depths of all subjects by utilizing the skills learned and required for the global job market. Our students will be expected to use technology and mathematics as tools for problem-solving in their future careers. STEM instruction will support our students’ development as learners and problem solvers, giving them a great foundation for future career opportunities.

Our focus will continue to be improving student achievement in all subject areas. Evergreen STEM students still receive a comprehensive education including reading, writing, social studies, PE, art and music.

Successful students are literate students with primary students learning to read, while intermediate students are reading to learn. Without strong skills in reading and writing, we could not realize our goal of a stimulating and motivating 21st century education for each student.

A STEM focus guides our learning, giving a context for the multiple facets of thinking our students engage in every day. By working collaboratively on authentic problems, students gain deeper understanding of the learning in all content areas. Students will be able to use the skills learned in reading along with the content studied in health to further understand the problem they are working on in science.

Evergreen STEM is still a Sedro-Woolley neighborhood elementary. We are excited to expand our students’ capacity to meet the changing demands of a 21st Century education and career, and we’re so happy you are on this journey with us!

Parent involvement is strongly encouraged in the classrooms, library, office, and through classroom volunteers and the Watch Dogs program. Please visit Evergreen often, ask questions, and become involved with as many activities as possible. Your input and support is valued and appreciated. The Evergreen staff continually strives to provide the best possible educational program for our students. Monthly newsletters will keep you informed. One of the most important things you can do to help your child succeed is to have your child regularly attend school and arrive on time.

When visiting please remember to check in at the office to pick up a Visitor’s Badge. We would appreciate you arranging classroom visitations ahead of time with the teacher. Let’s make it a great year!
