Enrollment Information Night for
Explorer Community School
Lake Washington School District parents are invited to Explorer Community School's Enrollment Information Night - Tuesday, January 5, 2016 at 6:30 pm at the Emily Dickinson school commons - 7040 208th Ave NE, Redmond, WA.
Explorer is a Lake Washington School District choice elementary school located on the Emily Dickinson campus in Redmond. One of three choice elementary school programs in the Lake Washington School District, Explorer offers a small elementary school environment staffed by three certified teachers in multi-aged classrooms grades one through five. Explorer's curriculum promotes academic excellence, strong self-esteem, a love of learning and a belief in the importance of community. Parent volunteers are vital to the school's success in meeting these goals and a high level of parental involvement is required. Attendance at this evening information night is highly encouraged for all families who wish to enroll a child for the 2016/2017 school year. We are unable to offer childcare; therefore this is an adult only evening.
Details regarding Explorer enrollment can be found on the Explorer Website or call (425) 936-2533. |
