Fun Time

It was great to see so many people turn out for our Family Bingo Night.  I love to see the smiles on the kiddos as they race to pick up their prize!  Hope you had as much fun as I did. 

School Tours

If you have new neighbors or new kindergarten children in your neighborhood, I have scheduled four school tour dates/times.  Please call Ann Coon to reserve a spot for a tour. 

Kindergarten Registration

It will be here before you know it, so your help getting the word out would be extremely helpful. 

The first day of registration will be Thursday, March 6th from 1:00 – 7:00 p.m. at Franklin Elementary. 

Quest Parent Program

There will be a series of “Guiding the Gifted Classes”, beginning Wednesday, January 30th at the Resource Center.  There are two different classes: one geared for parents of highly capable children, ages 6-11 and the other for parents of adolescents, ages 12-18.  This is an eight-week series, led and facilitated by LWSD Quest Psychologist Sandy Malone-Long. The fee for the class is $150.  Please contact Joann Hall at (425) 882-1388 for more information. 

Absences

Please be sure to call Ann Coon or the school recorder to let us know if your child will be absent.  If you send an e-mail to the teacher about your child’s absence or late arrival, you may copy it to Ann at acoon@lwsd.org.  This is an important part of our Safe Arrival Program and your participation is most appreciated. 

P.E. News

Jump Rope and Hoops for Heart week will be February 4th – 8th.  Parent volunteers are needed after school on Wednesday February 6th  from 2:00 – 3:00 p.m. to help supervise a jump rope or basketball station.  Please contact Ms. Denney at ndenney@lwsd.org if you can help out.   Intramural basketball playoffs will be held next week for the 14 intermediate teams during recess time.
