Vancouver, Wash., September 7, 2025 – The following message was sent to families and staff of Evergreen Public Schools:
Dear EPS Community,
Due to the PSE Large Group classified union strike, there will be no school tomorrow, September 8.
The EPS bargaining team met yesterday and today and will be available to bargain again tomorrow morning.
During the work stoppage, our school buildings will be closed. The Administrative Service Center (district office) will be open from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Updates on other services and information:
Meals: The district will make breakfast and lunch available for students at no cost each school day during the strike at the sites below. Please note that Marrion Elementary School, where meals were distributed last week, is switching to a child care site and will not have meal distribution, and the pickup times for the two remaining sites have been extended by 30 minutes each.

Medications: Families who need to drop off student medications or required documents may do so at their child’s school beginning on the first day of classes.
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 look forward to getting the school year started and having students back in our schools.
