Enrichment Registration Form for the 2006-2007
school year is due to the Wilder Office by the
start of the first school day, Tuesday,
September 5th. This form was
provided in the August school mailing. Please
complete one form per student.
We will confirm receipt of your form by the
Lottery Registration Team by September 7th.
Please watch for information regarding form
receipt confirmation.
For questions regarding the lottery registration
process, please contact Ramalee Wulf at (425)
867-8908 or ramaleew@msn.com. For questions
regarding these morning enrichment programs,
please contact Claire Beighle at (425) 867-1677
or cmbeighle@hotmail.com.
School Day
schedule
Students should arrive no sooner than 8:45 a.m.
as there is no adult supervision before this
time. School begins at 8:55 a.m. If your student
arrives after 9:00 a.m., please escort them into
the office for an admit slip. School dismisses
at 3:30 p.m. except for Wednesdays which
dismisses at 2:00 p.m.
Early Release
Wednesdays
Hopefully, all families have received their new
2006.07 school calendars by now. If you have not
received one yet, it should be in the mail soon.
Please note that all Wednesdays
our students will end their school day
at 2:00 p.m. unless otherwise
stated. AM kinders
will be dismissed at 10:55 a.m.
Safe Arrival line
Please call 425.556.9792 for all absences and
late arrivals. We do our best to insure the
safety of our students. If a student is absent
or late without notification, a parent volunteer
will contact you to find out about your child.
If you email the teacher regarding upcoming
absences or late arrivals, please include both
Kathy Conrad (kconrad@lwsd.org)
and me, Ann Yasui (ayasui@lwsd.org)
in your correspondence. Thank you for your
cooperation.
School visitations
All visitors to the school must stop at the main
office to sign in and pick up a visitors badge.
This is for the safety of our students.
New volunteer procedures to keep kids safe
Thousands of parent and community volunteers
serve in Lake Washington School District every
year. The work that volunteers do is valuable
and rewarding for our students and staff, as
well as volunteers. It is especially important
that the volunteer program provides the highest
level of safety possible for students, staff,
and volunteers. It has been a standard procedure
to track and screen all new volunteer applicants
through volunteer applications and background
checks. This year, there are a few changes to
the process to ensure an even higher level of
safety.
The first change is that applicants must be
approved by the district before they can begin
their service.
Please allow at least two weeks for approval
because of the anticipated volume. Apply now if
you think you might volunteer at some point
during the school year. It’s best to get your
approval early so you’ll be ready for any last
minute field trips or unexpected tasks that
might come up. Also, volunteer applicants now
must submit a copy of their driver’s license or
other legal photo identification that includes
their date of birth. Schools can make a copy of
the driver’s license and submit it with the
completed volunteer forms.
The second and most significant change is that
the district is now required by law to re-screen
volunteers every two years.
This means that all volunteers who applied prior
to last school year (2005-2006) must reapply
this year. If you don’t remember when you
initially applied to volunteer, it’s a good idea
to reapply. You can get an application from any
school or on the district’s Web site at
www.lwsd.org.
Finally, volunteers who lead programs during
non-school hours will be required to undergo a
higher level of screening this year.
This process will cover those who run before and
after-school programs and clubs. If you are one
of these volunteers, you will receive more
specific information on what you will need to
do.
Emergency
Notification form
This form is included in your summer packet. It
is of the utmost importance that it is filled
out neatly and accurately. Please make sure to
fill one out for each child and have your child
return the form to their teacher on the first
day of school.
Nurse Alert form
Please complete the orange form if your student
has a serious health condition. This information
is vital and should be returned to the classroom
teacher on the first day of school.
Authorization for Administration of Medication
form
This form is available only in the main office.
In order for a student to take any medication,
prescription or over the counter, this form must
be completed by your physician or dentist. All
medication must be dropped off in the office by
an adult. The medication must be in the original
prescription bottle or packaging. All medication
must be counted and verified by the office and
parent/guardian. Do not send any medication with
students to school.
Curriculum nights
All parents are encouraged to attend this
informational night on grade level curriculum
and classroom policies and procedures. There
will also be a presentation in the Commons by
our principal, Larry Pollock, at the end of the
classroom presentations. Sign ups will also be
posted for fall conferences.
School lunch program:
School meal prices for 2006.07 are as follows:
Lunch
$2.25
Milk a la carte
.50
Reduced lunch .40
Adult lunch
$3.00
To add money to your student’s account you can
use one of the following options:
1. Set up an automatic withdrawal from your
checking account.
2. Send a check (made payable to LWSD) or cash
with your student to school. Please label the
envelope with your child’s name and teacher.
3. Use your credit card by calling 425.702.3393
Lost and Found
Every year we donate out a tremendous amount of
unclaimed clothes. To prevent this from
happening to your child’s favorite article of
clothing, it is important to write your child’s
full name in all outwear, sweaters, sweatshirts,
etc. It is also a great idea to look through our
lost and found rack whenever you visit the
school.
