LWSD Choice Schools Information Night  

The Lake Washington School District offers Choice Elementary Schools for students in grades 1 to 5. Choice schools are optional schooling alternatives, created to meet specific needs and interests. They are designed to be smaller and use innovative approaches to education that are different from traditional public schools.
 
Enrollment Information Nights for the 3 elementary schools occur in January. Attendance at these meetings is required for enrollment and to maintain a student's spot on the wait list. Community School Information Night: Wednesday, 1/11 at 7:00pm at Community School (Kirkland).
Discovery Community School Information night: Tuesday, 1/10 at 6:30pm at Carl Sandburg Elementary (Kirkland). Explorer Community School Information Night: Thursday, 1/12 at 6:30pm in the Emily Dickenson Elementary School Commons (Redmond).
