Principal's Message
Wild wind storm last night! My home lost power; I got ready by flashlight this morning. I track power and road safety issues in the Seattle area, especially Beacon Hill, and communicate with staff.
If school closure or schedule changes are needed, I will send an emergency text blast to families and staff by 6:30 AM.
If you feel it's unsafe to travel to school, staying home is fine. It will be an excused absence, but please notify the office.
With colder temperatures, make sure your child wears a warm coat (hats, scarves, and gloves optional). We go outside daily, regardless of temperature. Check the Lost and Found on the stage for missing items.
Welcome to Elsie Sullivan, our new Community Relations & Digital Director! She will work with Jessica Louie, Development Director, to advance fundraising and community engagement. Both are part-time but make an awesome leadership team for our community!
