Last Fall 4th and 5th grade students participated in a new biking program called “Let’s Go” in which they learned bicycling skills and safety. Darrington Elementary was one of a handful of rural schools to pilot this new curriculum and the students’ experiences helped inform institution for future participants around the state. Let’s Go was funded by the Move Ahead Washington transportation bill in March 2022. Implementation of Let’s Go came in under budget and facilitators wanted to put the funds toward getting youth on bicycles. So, all 5th graders who participated in the piloting of the curriculum earned a free bike with helmet, lock, and lights. 5th graders at Darrington Elementary received their new bikes on May 1st and many have been riding to school since! Many thanks to the NWESD, Cascade Bicycle Club, and Trek Bikes for making this happen.

Starting Thursday, April 25th, the road between the High School and Community Center leaving campus (heading north) will be closed to traffic. There will be a path for students to still walk off campus through this area.

Traffic coming through car pick-up line will turn left next to the Community Center and exit onto Sauk Avenue.

Starting Monday, April 29th, new gutter installation will be taking place around the High School. If you come onto campus, please be aware of work taking place and avoid the areas under construction.
