Thank You Volunteers!

A big THANK YOU to all the people who chaperoned our three all-grade fieldtrips, helped with creating a wonderful evening for our eighth graders, and assisted Ms. Sterling with laptop returns.

Eckstein Building is Closed for the Summer

We are replacing windows, creating new science labs, and having earthquake retrofits.

Last Day to Check Lost and Found is Tuesday, June 24 from 10-2 pm

If you would like to come look through our lost and found, we will be able to let you into the cafeteria on Tuesday, June 24 from 10-2 pm. The front of the building is closed, so you will need to contact Ms. Jones at kcjones@seattleschools.org if you’d like to come look.

Summer Volunteer Help Needed

We have two volunteer needs for this summer for sometime in July.

1. Help move the picnic benches in the garden – contact Ms. Rose Kprose@seattleschools.org.
2. Take unclaimed lost and found items to Goodwill – contact Ms. Jones – kcjones@seattleschools.org

Quarter 4 and Semester 2 Grades Available on July 7

We will not be sending paper copies home unless specifically requested. Email Kattie Jones at kcjones@seattleschools.org for a mailed copy of your child’s Semester 2 report card.
If you are not attending Seattle Public Schools next year, please notify the district ASAP and email the Registrar, Ms. Tai jetai@seattleschools.org. Fill out the “Not Attending Next Year” Form online. Be sure to click the box that says “drop next year assignment”

WEB Day for Incoming Sixth Graders – September 2, 2025 (2-4 pm)

We have set the date for our WEB Day for incoming sixth grade students. WEB Day includes an engaging assembly, fun get-to-know-you games in homeroom groups led by current 7th and 8th grade student leaders and a school tour. It is a chance to make connections with other students, have fun, and get to know the school.

Attendance Matters!

Thank you for your continued support in ensuring your child attends school regularly and on time. Consistent attendance has a strong impact on student learning and success, and your partnership has made a difference. Every moment counts!

Looking ahead, the first day of school for the new year will be Wednesday, September 3rd. Please help your child get off to a strong start by ensuring they are present and on time from the very first day. Good attendance from the beginning sets the tone for a successful year.

Thank you again for your continued support. We wish you and your family a safe, restful, and enjoyable summer 😊
