The next community listening session with our school board is scheduled for Wednesday, January 21, 5:00-7:00 p.m. at the Silverdale Center (3650 NW Anderson Hill Rd., Silverdale) in the Rainier Conference Room (2nd floor).

Many of you have shared that you'd like more opportunities to see and talk with school board directors outside of board meetings. This is your chance! These listening sessions are casual, drop-in opportunities for families and community members to connect and share your thoughts.

We hope you’ll take a few minutes to stop by. Our school board directors look forward to seeing you!

We launched our new websites last month. All schools and our district website have the same addresses with a refreshed, mobile-friendly design built on the ParentSquare platform. We love them. We hope you do, too!

This year marks the third year of our three-year strategic plan, and now we're looking ahead. We launched our strategic goals update process in the fall. Hundreds of you engaged with us in person or through our online survey—THANK YOU! We appreciated hearing your thoughts and suggestions on our goals and what's most important to you. This broad input will help us ensure that our updated goals continue to clearly reflect the voices of our students, staff, families, and community for years 4-6.

Our next step is to analyze this data and share the key findings with our school board next month. We plan to share our updated strategic goals in June. Stay tuned!

We are accepting sign-ups for our next Parenting: The Love and Logic Way. This free, six-week program will provide simple and easy-to-learn tools that will promote lifelong positive relationships with your kids. The program begins in February. Join us in person or by Zoom. Space is limited! Learn more and register.

Bad weather may result in changes to school or bus schedules. We will announce changes by text, email, ParentSquare app, and district/school websites. If you don't hear from us by 6:00 a.m., it means schools and buses are operating normally.

If you’d like your child to attend a school other than their neighborhood school next year, we’re now accepting transfer requests. You can find details and the 2026-27 application form on our Transfer Requests webpage. A reminder to families who currently have transfer students: transfer requests are approved on an annual basis and need to be submitted each school year.
