Welcome to a new day of school at the Index School District!

FEBRUARY 2026 ELECTION
The Board of Directors of Index School District No. 63 has adopted a Replacement Levy Resolution for educational funding. This proposition would authorize the District to levy the following excess taxes to fund necessary educational programs and operations not funded by the state and replace an expiring levy on taxable property within the District.
Collection Years – Est. Levy Rate/$1,000 Assess Value – Levy Amount
2027 – $0.54 – $145,000
2028 – $0.54 – $153,000
2029 – $0.54 – $103,000
2030 – $0.53 – $169,000
The Replacement Educational Programs and Operations Levy has an effect on programs and operations in order to enable the District to support not only educational programs and operations but includes teaching, school supplies, technology, athletics, buildings and transportation.
We are looking for volunteer committee members to develop Pro and Con statements for the levy. The statements will be published in the voters’ pamphlet, which are mailed to voters in advance of the election. State law requires that volunteers reside in the District. If you are interested, please contact the Index School District at (360) 793-1330.
We are off to a new and exciting year at the Index School District! Here you see Molly sporting her bear wear and you can too. Every Tuesday wear your teal or bear wear to show your school spirit. For bear wear, check out the following link. https://indexelementaryschool.printful.me/

LYNNE KELLY, SCHOOL NURSE OF THE 2022-2023 SCHOOL YEAR!
A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS, LYNNE!
Lynne Kelly has been a nurse for nearly 40 years with the past 8 years being in school nursing. Lynne has worked in hospital nursing, telephone triage, and has worked as a Certified Legal Nurse Consultant and Registered Health Information Administrator. The past 8 years Lynne has been working as a school nurse where she has gone over and beyond the call of duty. Lynne loves serving her small rural community where she has lived since 1984. As a puppy raiser for Guide Dogs for the Blind, Lynne has collaboratively worked with two supportive superintendents who have allowed her volunteer work with GDB puppies to continue on campus. Also, during the peak of COVID, securing grant funds via NASN and the Health Commons Project made the tiny Index Elementary School the COVID testing hub of the entire Skykomish Valley, from Snohomish to Stevens Pass. Access to this healthcare along the Highway 2 corridor can be impossible at times. Good job, Lynne!
Safety Study Hall
The Washington State Department of Health is excited to introduce the Safety Study Hall, a library for schools, students, and families to learn more about important safety topics. The all-new website offers prevention strategies, answers to common questions, and highlights resources related to substance use and the safe storage of prescription and over-the-counter medications, firearms, and ammunition.As we open the virtual Safety Study Hall doors, we are starting with the key safety topics outlined by the Washington State Legislature in HB 1230: prevention strategies related to substance use, and the safe storage of prescription/over-the-counter medication, firearms, and ammunition. We’ve researched federal, state, local and community resources to find answers to common questions about these issues.
