A group of freshman from Nikola Tesla STEM High School is helping kids with Cerebral Palsy move around a little easier. As part of their end of year project, this team partnered with a program by the name of Go Baby Go
Dozens of LWSD students earned their way to the 2021 International Career Development Conference (ICDC), which was held virtually in late April and early May. Of that group, about 30 students competed as finalists and two students placed as high as third.
It all started when Shivani Jayaprakasam, rising junior at International Community School (ICS), was on vacation in Japan. A major typhoon struck while there in 2018 and she has been interested in emergency preparedness since.

The Lake Washington School District believes in fostering an educational environment that is safe and free of discrimination for all students consistent with its nondiscrimination policy (5010). To that end, the District recognizes the importance of an inclusive approach toward transgender students with regard to official records, confidential health and education information, communication, restroom and locker room accessibility, sports and physical education, dress codes and other school activities, in order to provide students with an equal opportunity for learning and achievement. This policy and its procedure will facilitate district compliance with local, state and federal laws concerning harassment, intimidation, bullying and discrimination.
