Is your child turning 5 between Sept. 1, 2025 – Aug. 31, 2026 and could benefit from an extra year of growth before kindergarten?
The Foundations K program is a free, full-day early learning experience designed to support children in building confidence and readiness in:
✅ Academic skills
✅ Social-emotional development
✅ Language
✅ Motor skills
📍 Available at multiple Sedro-Woolley elementary schools
👶 For students not already enrolled in preschool or childcare
📝 A short screening helps determine eligibility
💙 Priority given to students with an identified need
Some families have been placed on a waitlist, but as applications are reviewed and spots open up, we’re continuing to place eligible students in the Foundations Kindergarten program for the 2025–2026 school year.
We encourage interested families to complete the screening process so we can fully review each application as space opens.

🍦✉️ Building Bonds—and Futures—in Education!
Today, members of the Educators Rising Club at Sedro-Woolley High School—students with a passion for becoming future educators—got to meet their third-grade pen pals from Jennifer Swenson’s class at Mary Purcell Elementary!
After weeks of exchanging notes via spiral notebooks that the third graders get to keep, the students came together to celebrate with ice cream sundaes and lots of smiles. This special connection gave high schoolers a glimpse into the joy of working with young learners—and gave third graders some amazing role models to look up to! 💙
