Graphic announcing the Sedro-Woolley School District Superintendent Search Community Forum on Tuesday, February 3, 2026, from 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. at the Sedro-Woolley High School Auditorium. Community members are invited to share input on district strengths, challenges, and leadership priorities. Entrance is through the 4th Street Union High School entrance with white columns.

Over the past several years, levy funding has supported maintenance and repairs at Evergreen Elementary School. Below is a snapshot of completed work, projects starting this summer, items delayed due to rising construction costs, and improvements planned if voters approve the proposed replacement levy.

Completed with the 2021–2026 Capital Project Levy
• Replaced heater and ventilation system
• Replaced exterior siding
• Replaced gym floor to address safety concerns
• New carpet in several classrooms to replace original carpet from 1972

Starting Summer 2026 (Current Capital Levy)
• Plumbing system repairs (Phase 1) — addressing rusted pipes and significant blockages
• Replace and update restrooms to meet ADA standards

Projects delayed due to inflationary cost increases
• Flooring replacement (carpet and tile) — while some classroom carpet was replaced, the majority of classrooms' replacement carpet was delayed due to cost overruns on other projects; planned for completion if the replacement levy is approved
• Roof replacement — delayed due to cost overruns on other projects; planned for completion in 2029 if the replacement levy is approved

Planned improvements if the replacement levy is approved
• 2027: Plumbing system repairs (Phase 2)
• 2030: Replace heating and ventilation controls
• 2030: Phased remodel planning to address open concept issues
• 2032: Kitchen remodel to support food service operations

In addition to site-specific projects, the proposed levy supports ongoing districtwide facility, safety, and technology needs that benefit all schools, including each elementary school. These projects occur throughout the six-year levy period and are not tied to a single year or building.

• School Resource Officer support (in partnership with the City of Sedro-Woolley)
• Ongoing technology replacement and infrastructure support
• Security camera replacement and system maintenance
• Telephone system replacement
• Flooring replacement (carpet and tile)
• Student furniture replacement
• Exterior painting of district buildings

Planning note: Short-term levy projects were recommended through the Citizens Advisory Committee using facility maintenance data. Separately, the district is conducting long-range facility planning (10–20 years) to help guide future decisions.

Work has been completed on numerous Capital Levy projects at Evergreen Elementary School. The gym floor is being upgraded and a few classrooms have the first new carpet since the building was opened in the early 1970s.

The holiday spirit is already soaring at Evergreen STEM Elementary! 🦅

First graders in Mrs. Knutsen’s class at Evergreen STEM Elementary have been busy creating holiday crafts that their families are sure to treasure for years to come.

From sock snowmen (and women!) with puffy paint eyes and mouths, to messy glue sticks and bits of tissue paper to create a stained glass paper stars, it’s a wonderful way to kick off the season of creativity and joy.
