  • Continued Update on Social Media Threat Investigation

    Dear Twin Falls Middle School Families, Thank you to the many families who have reached out today to share feedback and concerns. We understand that this morning’s messages, as well as students accessing the social media posts, may have caused anxiety for some students and families. Please know that while we are limited in what we can share during an active investigation, if our district ever believed there was a safety risk at school, we would not hesitate to cancel or modify the school day. Our administrative team continues to work closely with the Snoqualmie Police Department. We are in the process of contacting and interviewing students who share the same first names mentioned in the posts. For those who have not yet heard from us, please be patient as we work through this process. The posts were vague, and we are doing our best to follow every lead while keeping families informed. We have and will continue to have extra staff at Twin Falls while the investigation is still active.  We understand that some families may choose to keep their students home. If you choose to do so, please have your student check Schoology for assignments and call the attendance line at 425-831-4151to excuse their absence. We are committed to maintaining a safe and secure school environment. If we ever believe there is a credible threat, we will respond immediately, which could include canceling or closing school if necessary. Please remind your student how important it is to speak up if they see or hear something concerning, whether at school or online. By working together, we can continue to keep Twin Falls Middle School a safe and supportive place for everyone. Sincerely, Dan Schlotfeldt Snoqualmie Valley School District Superintendent

  • Upcoming SB-SBIRT Screener Information

    Dear 7th and 8th Grade Families, A student’s social and emotional health plays a key role in their success at school. To help identify the social and emotional support that middle school students may need, we use the School-Based Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Services (SB-SBIRT) process. The SB-SBIRT is an online screener administered during the school day to students in grades 7-8 at all three of our middle schools.  Our district  began using SB-SBIRT seven years ago in  partnership with the King County Department of Community and Human Services (DCHS) and grant funding from the King County Best Starts for Kids initiative. This model uses an online screening tool called Check Yourself, which was developed by Seattle Children’s Hospital and the University of Washington with Tickit Health. It takes no more than  30 minutes t o complete and asks questions covering four areas: strengths and goals, substance use, mental health and personal safety. The purpose of SB-SBIRT is to identify students who may need support so our staff can connect them with resources. Collective SB-SBIRT data may also point to broader trends impacting the larger student body. Student responses gathered through the SB-SBIRT screener will be handled confidentially and shared only with designated school counseling staff directly involved with providing support. In rare instances, a student’s responses may reveal a need for immediate action to protect them from harm. Our school uses this data for student support during the current school year only; it does not become part of the student’s educational record. Over the years, SB-SBIRT has proven to be an effective tool for supporting many of our students and families, with special care taken to ensure privacy. As part of the grant requirements, our counseling team will provide King County with a high-level (no names or personally identifiable information) summary each year of the support they were able to offer because of SB-SBIRT. Consequently, approximately 38% of the students identified through the screener as “potentially needing support” were not previously known to need help.  Each family will receive a message through ParentSquare with more information— including an FAQ and an opt-out option —prior to your student’s screener.   We will reach out two weeks before the students’ screening date . If you have any questions, please refer to the  district website  or contact your building’s success coordinator.

Sincerely, Snoqualmie Valley School District

    Dear Middle School Families, To support the well-being of all students, Chief Kanim, Snoqualmie Middle, Twin Falls and Meadowbrook will administer three student screeners this year.

Middle School Screeners and Dates mySAEBRS® Social-Emotional Screener mySAEBRS® (Social, Academic, and Emotional Behavior Risk Screener) is a brief, research-based self-assessment that helps identify how students are doing in areas such as social skills, academic behaviors, and emotional well-being.

The Healthy Youth Survey includes questions related to physical activity, unintentional and intentional injury, substance use, interpersonal relationships, school experiences, risk and protective factors, and access to school-based services.  Survey results are used by schools, communities, and State agencies to plan programs to support our youth and reduce their risks. Participation in the survey is voluntary and steps are taken to ensure student privacy. There are no names or codes used to link a survey back to a student.  Chief Kanim Middle School (CKMS):  October 22 Twin Falls Middle School (TFMS):  October 22 Snoqualmie Middle School (SMS):  October 20 Meadowbrook School (MBS):  October 8 Learn More About the Healthy Youth Survey   |    HYS Website   |   Healthy Youth Survey Questions   Please note that we have opted not to include the optional gender question and have requested and received exemptions from the sexual behavior and sexual violence questions .

  • Important: 8th Grade Course Selection & Future Fresh...

    Dear SVSD 8th Grade F amilies,  It may be hard to hear or feel early, but this is the time we will begin the work of supporting your 8th grader's transition to High School. We are very excited to welcome the Wildcat Class of 2029.  The week after February break, Mount Si High School counselors will be going to each Middle School to inform all 8th graders about High School graduation requirements and selecting courses for 9th grade. Then, hopefully you and your 8th grader will attend Future Freshmen Wildcat Night on Feb. 27 at Mount Si High School. You are receiving this letter so we can inform you that some courses have already been selected for 8th graders. When you log in to select courses on/after March 3, you will see these pre-selected courses. Students will have a math class, English class, PE and Biology already in their course selections because these are all required classes for all 9th grade students.  A few notes about the Math and English classes that will already be selected for your student:  MATH:  Math placement is based on students current Math course and they are automatically enrolled in the next math course in the sequence:  Students currently in CC8 will be enrolled in Algebra 1  Students currently in Algebra 1 will be enrolled in Geometry Students currently in Geometry will be enrolled in Algebra 2  ENGLISH:  When a student meets standard on the 8th  grade Smarter Balanced Assessment (SBA) in English Language Arts, the student is required to be automatically placed in Honors English Language Arts (ELA) as a 9 th  grader. Because we do not know what score your student will earn on the 8th grade SBA, we use their historical SBA performance to make a prediction in order to reduce how many schedule changes we need to make in June once we do have preliminary SBA scores. This does NOT mean a student is required to take Honors English Language Arts in 9th grade if they met standard the SBA nor does it mean a student cannot take Honors English Language Arts if a student does not meet standard on the SBA. We understand each student has different academic goals and priorities, and the honors-level course may or may not be a fit for your student. If after March 3, when you go in to make course selection, you are happy with the predictive placement, you need to do nothing!  If you want to CHANGE your child’s predictive placement, please complete the  ELA Course Opt In/Out Form  by March 12, 2025.   If you complete this opt-in/out, your student will then be registered for the course you prefer rather than the predictive course you see that was based on their previous ELA SBAs.  Please contact your child’s middle school Language Arts Teacher or current Counselor if you have questions regarding whether a placement in Honors ELA is a good fit.   Please note this applies only to students planning to attend Mt. Si High School, it does not apply to students planning on attending Two Rivers. If your child plans to attend Two Rivers as a 9 th  grader, the Two Rivers principal will work with you to develop an appropriately challenging program in Math and English. Also, if your student receives special education services in math or English Language Arts, your current special education Case Manager and current Counselor will work with you on appropriate placement in Math and English Language Arts for next year.  Sincerely, Andrea Zier  Executive Director of Secondary Education  Snoqualmie Valley School District
