Valentine Post Office!
Valentines are available for purchase during recesses until Monday, February 8. Your childrens' Valentines have two delivery options. First, you can bring the completed Valentine to the office and deliver them to the Valentine Post Office Box. If you choose this option, you may only deliver the Valentine. Please do not include any other types of gifts (i.e. balloons, stuffed animals, candy). The second option would be for your child to bring the Valentines to the classroom for their parties. This option would allow for other treats to be delivered. Valentines are available 10 for $1 or individually for $0.10. For any questions please contact Liz Holmquist at lizholmquist@yahoo.com. |

Lake Washington School District
April 2016 Bond Measure
Lake Washington School district is growing rapidly. In fact, it has grown from the sixth largest district to the fourth largest district in the state since last year. The district has grown by over 3200 students in the last five years. That's an average of over 625 students per year for the last five years, which is equivalent to five large elementary schools. Growth is projected to continue, reaching over 30,000 students by 2020-21 and over 32,000 students by 2029-30.
To meet these growing needs for classroom space, the district's board of directors voted on January 25 to place a bond measure on the April 26, 2016 ballot. This measure, for $398 million in 20-year bonds, would fund the most immediate, high priority needs. The total tax rate will be maintained at the 2015 rate.
"Our district is at a critical point with regard to classroom space," noted Board President Nancy Bernard. "Moving to all-day kindergarten and reducing class sizes thanks to new state funding increases our need for more classroom space. At the same time our enrollment continues to grow."
The measure would build one new middle school and two new elementary schools and would rebuild and enlarge three schools (Juanita High School, Kirk and Mead Elementary Schools). It would also replace the Explorer Community School classrooms and refurbish the Old Redmond Schoolhouse for use by preschool classes.
