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 pass, as well as morning-only and afternoon-only passes. We will send an email with details once passes for the 2026-27 school year are available for purchase. For information about financial assistance for bus passes, please contact Business Office Associate Anna Kathleen.
4. Laptop Pick Up
The required laptop fee will be itemized in your enrollment contract.
Students and families can pick up their new school computer in the summer. More details, including the pickup schedule, will be emailed in late July or early August.
Once you arrive in the Main Lobby of campus, signs will point you to the correct location. No appointment is necessary to pick up your device.
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. For information about financial assistance for lunch service, please contact Tuition Assistance Administrator Marj Kerstetter.
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? Every family at Eastside Catholic Middle School is automatically a member of the PTF (Parent Teacher Fellowship). PTF strives to serve the EC community through its various programs, activities and outreach. 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). Sports 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 Alex Rich for more information.
9. Dress Code and Uniforms
The middle school dress code is shared in the Student and Family Handbook. Please review it 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 - all items are $5. Look for signs on campus directing you to the sale location. You can find more information on the Parents and Guardians webpage under the PTF tab.
10. Class Schedules and Books
Required textbooks will be provided to students during the first few days of class. The cost of textbooks is included in tuition.
