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!
