Dear Thunder Mountain Middle School Families,
This morning, we received a report regarding a non-credible threat that has circulated as a rumor across multiple districts in our area. We want to assure you that we take these matters very seriously and are committed to maintaining a safe environment for all our students and staff.
The threat, which originated on social media (Snapchat), has not been recognized as credible and has been traced to neighboring cities. We will continue school as scheduled. We are working closely with the Enumclaw Police Department, and out of an abundance of caution, there will be increased police presence on our campus today. We want to emphasize that the safety and well-being of our students and staff remain our top priority.
Please remind your students of the consequences of spreading false information and social media “trends.” Rumors can create unnecessary panic and disrupt our school community. It is vital that any concerns or information be reported directly to school administrators and/or law enforcement rather than shared through unofficial channels or reposted on social media. This helps us respond effectively and ensures that we maintain a safe environment for everyone.
Thank you for your understanding and support. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out.
We cannot wait to see students back beginning in one week for the first day of the 2024 - 2025 school year! Please mark your calendars with the upcoming dates below.

A message from our ESD Technology Team:
The district will experience a planned system shutdown from Friday, July 12, to Saturday, July 13, to complete technology upgrades and core system maintenance work. Phone calls to district employees and school offices will not be received during this outage.
In the spirit of freedom, unity, and patriotism, the Enumclaw School District wishes you a Happy Independence Day! We encourage our students, families, and staff to celebrate responsibly and enjoy the festivities.
Please note that the District Office is closed today and will reopen on Friday, July 5, 2024.
June is Pride Month, commemorating the Stonewall Uprising that happened in June 1969, a pivotal event regarding LGBTQ+ rights. Enumclaw School District honors the diversity of our community and recognizes that our differences make us stronger. Hate has no home here.
Reminder From the District Nurse:
If your student has medications in the Health Room please arrange for pick up before the last day of school. All medications remaining in the Health Room after the last day of school, June 18, 2024, will be disposed of.

May is Asian-Pacific American Heritage Month! While initially only federally observed for one week in May, honoring Asian-Pacific American Heritage was expanded to be observed for the entire month of May beginning in 1990. May was designated to commemorate the immigration of the first Japanese to the US on May 7, 1843, as well as the anniversary of the transcontinental railroad's completion on May 10, 1869. A majority of workers who laid tracks for the railroads were Chinese immigrants.*
This month is an opportunity to learn more about the countless Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders who have shaped and enriched the history of the United States. You can visit the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center online to learn more.
