Superintendent Dr. Jon Holmen welcomes preschool students to the 2020-21 school year
Redmond, Wash. – Forty-eight Lake Washington School District (LWSD) high school seniors have been named semifinalists in the 66th annual National Merit Scholarship Program. That is the most ever for LWSD.
Three schools in Lake Washington School District were named 2020 Sustaining Green Schools by King County Green Schools in June. Environmental & Adventure School (EAS) qualified for the recognition for the first time this year. The shared campus of Carl Sandburg Elementary and Discovery Community School have earned the recognition for five consecutive years.
Below are links to resources for parents/students wanting to further explore issues of equity as well as books that have been used for training in LWSD on issues of equity.
For additional resources, please visit LWSD's Opportunity, Equity and Inclusion department page.
This guide was developed to provide LWSD educators with an overview of best practices to support our Black students.
