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.
PTSA

The PTSA Board of Directors meets on the second
