Programs

Eatonville School District believes in educating the whole child. Our programs serve to support students and families in areas that extend beyond the classroom and academics, and to provide alternative learning opportunities to the traditional classroom.

All of our core values of curiosity, excellence, responsibility, character, equity, and diversity exist to foster an environment that supports and encourages grit.

Our schools strive to create, in partnership with parents and community, innovative education systems for all ages encouraging engagement and creativity. Our programs in Eatonville School District help educate the whole child and give every student the specific resources he or she needs in order to be a successful and productive member of the community.

ALE in Eatonville

Alternative Learning Experience or ALE is, according to the State of Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI), “public education where some or all of the instruction is delivered outside of a regular classroom or schedule.”

Considering our small size, and creative, flexible abilities we are able to provide a diverse educational experience for our students, families, and community as a whole. With the support of ALE, families find that:

Parents are teaching their children at home with the support of the school district
Students enrolled in this option are students of Eatonville School District
The support received from the district includes interaction and engagement with a certificated teacher
The WSLP is approved, monitored and coordinated by an assigned EOA certificated teacher on our staff
The student and teacher must have weekly contact to discuss the content of the WSLP, both to support the student and to insure adherence to the integrity of the plan
The curriculum options and choices through EOA are quite varied and broad, with a lot of flexibility

General Information for MRPP and EOA

Mt. Rainier Parent Partnership

Mt. Rainier Parent Partnership recognizes and supports family choice education where parents are the first and most important educators for their children. Through Mt.Rainier Parent Partnership families can enjoy the benefits of being highly involved in their child's learning while accessing the resources made available to all K-5 public school students in Washington State.

MRPP teachers assist parents who have the desire to homeschool their students. While the parent/guardian is the primary teacher, we have a certificated teacher to work alongside you to create a Personalized Learning Plan, monitor your student’s progress using weekly communication, provide monthly reporting, as well as interventions if necessary.

For enrollment purposes, we require that students commit to the MRPP on a semester basis. Questions on this program for grades K-5? Contact Katey Peterson: k.peterson@eatonville.wednet.edu

Eatonville Online Academy

The Eatonville Online Academy is a full-time or part-time online program for students interested in an alternative setting. We offer the full range of classes (ELA, History, Science, PE/Health, Electives and Math) for students and they are all online. We utilize the Spokane Virtual Learning classes for Math and HS credit level Electives and use the Edgenuity program for all of the other classes. Students are required to work each day and complete the required lessons on a daily basis. Typical lessons are from 45 minutes-1.5 hours for each class, each day. Students need to have quality internet access as well as a laptop or Chromebook to use. (We have found that tablets are not sufficient for the type of work students are completing.)

Students who enroll in the EOA will have weekly (or more, as needed) virtual contact with teachers and staff who can help guide their work. For enrollment purposes, we require that students commit to the EOA on a semester basis.
