Explorer is very fortunate to have strong relationships with our family support groups.

PTO-Parent/Guardian Teacher Organization is our main support group. It consists of a president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, student store chairperson, and staff appreciation chairperson. PTO is similar to a PTA in elementary school, but we are much less work! It is a very relaxed & casual group. We manage and run the student store, teacher grants, and financially support field trips. Our main fundraisers are the student store and PTO membership. 

Please consider donating $20 for membership. We are a 501 (C) non-profit group so your donation is tax deductible. You can send a check made out Explorer PTO or pay with Pay Pal PAY PAL OR Zelle explorerptotreasurer@gmail.com

Attendance is very important in middle school. Please call the school anytime your child is not in school or will be late. You can also report your child's absence through ParentSquare. If you need to pick up your child early, please call ahead. Keep in mind that if it is passing time, lunch time, or your child is in PE, it may take some time to get them to you. Calling ahead or sending a note will help. When you arrive to school to pick up your child you will be asked to show photo ID. Attendance 425-366-5000.

6th graders will go to their 4th period class, have lunch, then return to their 4th period.

We have set aside 28 minutes every Monday through Thursday to give students time for school work. During this time, students may get extra help from any of their teachers. Students must be signed up to leave their 1st period to see another teacher for Eagles' Landing. A teacher may sign them up or students may request it. If a student is not signed up to go to another class, they will remain in 1st period and do school work, get organized or read. This is also a great time for students working on projects together to get together. We make any school announcements during this time. If your child needs help, remind them to ask their teacher to sign them up for Eagles Landing.
