At TMS, we want students to have fun—but never at anyone else’s expense. Spirit attire and costumes should be sensitive to our diverse community and culturally appropriate. With that in mind, please review the following guidelines for acceptable attire: Cultures are not costumes. Costumes are only fun and respectful when they don’t hurt or mock others in any way. Student spirit wear and costumes must follow the school dress code as outlined in the Student Handbook. Students must always be fully identifiable—full-face paint is not allowed. Masks or other face coverings are not permitted. Costumes and accessories are encouraged as long as they: Do not portray or reinforce stereotypes or disrespect cultures or genders Are not distracting to the wearer or others Do not include weapons or items that resemble weapons If students are ever unsure whether their attire meets these guidelines, please encourage them to check with an administrator before wearing it to school. We’re excited to celebrate Spirit Week at TMS with your students. Go Wolves!   Student Safety During School Commutes Timbercrest Families, Over the past month, I’ve connected with families from neighborhoods near Timbercrest along 215th Way NE, including those accessed via 222nd Way NE and 218th Ave NE. Following these conversations, I want to share some important reminders to help enhance safety for our students and community. As you can imagine, traffic on these roads increases significantly during the school year. Neighbors have reported speeding-related accidents, and icy conditions near Woodinville-Duvall Road can create hazardous travel. Each day, students from Timbercrest, Woodinville High School, and Eastridge walk and wait for buses along this route. To help keep our students safe, please: Follow posted speed limits (usually 25 mph). Be mindful of sidewalk lanes and pedestrian areas. Encourage students to walk facing traffic and wear bright, visible clothing. Remind students to speak up to a trusted adult or school official if they notice unsafe driving. Thank you for partnering with us to keep our community safe!   Safety Reminders for Electric Bikes, Scooters, Skateboards, and Motorcycles The Northshore School District encourages people to enjoy safe and responsible ways of getting to and from school. To keep everyone safe, please follow these guidelines: Protect yourself. Helmets are required by law for all who ride bikes, scooters, or motorcycles. Your safety matters! Dismount when you arrive on campus. Lock up your ride. Use bike racks. Stay off tracks and fields. Bikes, scooters, skateboards, and other wheeled devices are not permitted on the track, field, or inside school buildings at any time. Charging. For safety reasons, charging e-bikes or e-scooters, or storing batteries, on school property is not allowed. The Difference Between E-Bikes and E-Motorcycles E-Motorcycles: Have no moving pedals; Are not street legal without lights, mirrors, turn signals, and more. Are illegal on sidewalks; must follow all vehicular traffic laws. Must be registered with the state (have license plates) and insured. Operated by licensed drivers only; Riders must wear helmets. E-Bikes: Have an electric motor that assists with pedaling or propels without pedaling. Riders must wear helmets. No driver’s license, registration or insurance required. Class 1: Pedal-assisted only. Max speed 20 mph. Class 2: Pedal-assisted and motor-propelled. Max speed 20 mph. Class 1 & 2 allowed on bike paths, bike lanes, sidewalks, and some trails Class 3: Pedal-assisted only. Max speed 28 mph. Not allowed on shared-use paths, sidewalks, or non-motorized trails. Riders must be 16+. Learn more about the rules and the state laws that govern us on the City of Bothell's website.   2nd Quarter Schedules New schedules for 6th graders showing their 2nd quarter classes will be handed out during Advisory on Monday, Nov 3rd.

Students will learn how to recognize and report bullying behaviors—and how to be upstanders who help create a safe and supportive environment for everyone. Below are some common examples of harassment, intimidation, and bullying (HIB) behaviors that can occur in middle school: Posting photos or comments on social media that make fun of others Spreading rumors about another student Sharing hurtful or embarrassing content online Repeating or spreading rumors after hearing them from someone else Teasing someone repeatedly and saying, “We’re just joking” or “It’s just for fun” Pointing out personal differences in a way that makes others feel “less than” Intentionally leaving someone out of invitations, plans, or group activities How We Can All Make a Difference: Be an upstander—refuse to participate in hurtful behaviors Understand the difference between normal conflict and bullying, and report concerns to a trusted adult Speak up when you see others being mistreated Practice acts of kindness and empathy Be inclusive—make sure everyone feels welcome and valued Together, we can make Timbercrest a place where every student feels respected, supported, and safe. From the Nurse HEALTHY YOUTH SURVEY 2025 Administration for 6th and 8th grades: Date/Time: Update Our school is participating in the Washington State Healthy Youth Survey during fall 2025.
