The annual Enrollment Verification Process (EVP) for the 2026-27 school year opens August 7 and must be completed by August 14. The process is completed online via Family Access (Skyward) and is required for each student, every year.

 

The EVP allows families to confirm their student’s enrollment, update emergency contact information and complete required forms regarding health and other topics.

 

The reason we ask families to complete EVP for every student every year is that this critical information helps us accurately plan for staffing and resources for our schools and departments.

Meet Principal Jeff McGowan!

Hi, Lynx families! My favorite thing about being a principal is working with staff and students. A few fun facts about me: I love the “Harry Potter” books. My favorite musician is Bruce Springsteen. If I could only eat one food for the rest of my life, I would order from Ron’s Drive-In, a restaurant in the Spokane Valley.
