1. Student ID Number

If you need your student's ID number to create an account with No Junk, please email office@nojunk-goodfood.com.

If you need your student's ID number for any other reason, please email Registrar Lakshmi Palaniappan.

2. Online School Packet

Look for the Online School Packet to be emailed to you in July. This packet includes the necessary forms, links and information to start the new school year.

It is essential to complete and submit this packet by the due date so you can join your class on the first day of school.

3. Bus Service

Bus passes are available for purchase each school year beginning in August. 

EC offers dedicated bus routes through Harlow's Bus Service. Students can purchase an annual pass, a monthly pass, an activity bus pass or a single-use ticket, or morning-only and afternoon-only passes.

We will send an email with details once passes for the 2023-24 school year are available.

4. Laptop Pick Up

Students and families can pick up laptops every Tuesday and Thursday beginning July 25 from noon to 2 p.m. in the school Commons. You will see signs navigating you to the correct location. The last day for laptop pick-up will be August 24. No appointment is necessary to pick up your laptop.

5. Lunch

The cafeteria is open for breakfast items in the morning and serves three lunch sessions during the school day. There will be a link to add money to your student's No Junk account in the Online School Packet. 

6. School Communications

You will be added to school emails in late May to start receiving notifications for the following school year. Watch for these communications:

• EC This Week - This email is sent weekly during the school year and delivered to your inbox on Sunday to get you organized for the coming week.
   
• EC This Month - This email arrives around the final day of each month and shares in-depth coverage of events and information for the upcoming month.
   
• SchoolMessenger - You will receive instructions on how to sign up for emergency notifications through the enrollment contract. It is vital that parents, guardians and students sign up to receive these messages as this is one of the quickest ways to be notified in an emergency or for school closures or delays.

7. Parent Groups

Want to get involved? The Parent Teacher Fellowship (PTF) works to strengthen the school community by enhancing communication, encouraging family involvement and promoting parent/guardian education. The EC Booster Club is another parent group that raises funds to support the financial needs of athletics outside of the school’s operating budget. Learn more here.

8. CYO Athletics

In addition to our required fitness and health curriculum, the middle school participates in the Archdiocese of Seattle Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) athletic program. Our athletics program is consistent with the mission and vision of our school and the philosophy of the Archdiocese of Seattle. We encourage all students to be involved in at least one CYO team during each year of middle school.

CYO sports available at EC in previous years include cross country (fall), soccer (fall), basketball (winter), volleyball (early spring) and track and field (late spring). Sport offerings and grade-level teams depend on registration numbers. We will include registration information in our monthly (EC This Month) and weekly (EC This Week) newsletters as each season approaches.

You will sign up for the sports you want to participate in the Online School Packet emailed in July. Please contact CYO Coordinator Keri Greenheck for more information.

9. Dress Code and Uniforms

The middle school dress code is shared in the Student and Family Handbook which is available on the Parent and Guardians webpage under the Forms and Information dropdown. Please review the dress code prior to the start of school.

Please review the Uniform Guidelines and Uniform Ordering Instructions for additional information regarding uniforms.

Used Uniform Sales

The Middle School Parent Teacher Fellowship (PTF) holds periodic sales of gently used uniforms. If you have questions about purchasing used uniforms, please contact PTF Used Uniform Coordinator Kelly Hardy.

Visit the Parent and Guardian webpage and select the Parent Groups tab > PTF link to learn more.

10. Class Schedules and Books

Over the summer, you will receive a preliminary class listing to purchase your books and supplies. A link to order books will be included with this listing.

Your final schedule will be emailed the week before the beginning of school. This schedule will include teacher and classroom assignments. 

This timeline will help outline what to expect as you prepare for the start of school.
