Evergreen Public Schools Update: No Decision Yet On Monday’s School Status - 09/05/25
Dear EPS Community,
The EPS and PSE Large Group’s bargaining teams met in mediation today. The bargaining teams are scheduled to bargain tomorrow at 9 a.m.
As of Friday afternoon, no decision has been made about school on Monday. We will inform you by Sunday around 4 p.m. if schools will be open on Monday.
Football: Tonight’s games at McKenzie Stadium will be played as scheduled. In a change from previous years, all ticket sales will be cashless, aligning with Washington Interscholastic Activities Association practice. Tickets can be purchased with a credit or debit card onsite or at the following GoFan links:
Reminder: Any student below high school grades who wants to attend a game at McKenzie Stadium must be accompanied by an adult.
Child Care: If the strike continues into next week, Right at School, the district’s new child care provider, is preparing to open Family Care Camps at nine of our elementary schools starting Monday. The camps, for elementary age students, would operate from 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. each school day for the duration of the strike. For sites, costs and other information, click here.
Also, the Clark County Family YMCA is offering a camp for EPS students during the strike from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Get more information and register here.
Registration: Available for new students online.
The district is committed to continuing to bargain with the PSE Large Group to reach an agreement that is fair to both sides and is affordable and sustainable under our current budget conditions. For updated information on bargaining you can visit the Bargaining webpage.
We will continue to share updates throughout the weekend if new information is available. We look forward to getting the school year started and having students back in our schools.
