Help Needed for the Holidays
The holiday season is fast approaching and we are asking for your help for our Horace Mann families who may need a little extra support during this time. As a school community, we provide help to many families in our school community who may be going through tough financial times. If you are willing and able to help, we are collecting donations through November for BOTH Thanksgiving and Christmas.
- Cash or Check (checks made out to Horace Mann PTSA with "transitions" in memo line)
- Gift Cards (Target, Fred Meyer or any local store)
All donations can be brought to the school office, c/o Ann Glassey. Your support is very much appreciated and truly makes a difference. Thank you.

One of the goals of Lake Washington School district is to engage our communities. We welcome and value parent and community feedback, and each year we administer two district-wide parent and community surveys:
An annual climate survey
Each year we survey parents and community members to seek feedback about school learning environments, academic standards, communication, student support and more. This district and schools carefully reviews the feedback collected each year to help inform our continuous improvement processes. It helps us to understand what we are doing well and how we can continue to improve. This survey was last administered in spring of 2015. You can see the results from last spring's survey by clicking here. We are now moving this survey to the fall, as we have another survey in the spring that focuses on specific program efforts.
An annual program survey
Each spring we survey parents to seek feedback about specific district programs and initiatives. The district carefully reviews the feedback collected each year and uses it to help inform our strategic planning processes. Look for this survey in spring 2016.
In addition for many years our district has had an ongoing telephone poll in place. Pacific Market Research places calls on behalf of the Lake Washington School District to seek feedback from parents and community members. We regularly review the feedback collected and analyze the data trends over time.
Fall climate survey launching now: Since we are moving the annual climate survey to the fall, your chance to weigh in is happening now. In order to participate, Click on this link or past this link into a web browser: http://www.k12insight.com/k/SsWYVTsQRURsPsPsP
Please feel free to forward the link to friends and neighbors. We would also like to hear from community members who do not have students in our schools. It survey will take approximately 10-15 minutes. The survey will close on Friday, December 18.
We appreciate your time. District-wide results from the survey will be shared on the "Your Voice" page of the district website. School-wide results for selected questions will be published as part of each school's annual report, which will be distributed to all parents next fall.

Safe Arrival - help needed on Monday mornings
If you free Monday mornings between 9:00 am -10:00 am, please consider helping out with this great program. Volunteers call parents if a child does not report to school and no message was received regarding the absence. What's the purpose of the Safe Arrival Program? - To alleviate potential concern by notifying parents if their children do not arrive at school.
- To comply with the school district's requirements that the school keep a record of excused absences
