Today, October 12, is Indigenous People’s Day. Staff and students in the Eastside Native American Education Program (ENAEP) are honoring the first inhabitants in the United States by acknowledging and commemorating their contributions, history and culture.
A total of 10 new SAGE (Smart Academic Green Environment) portable classrooms were installed at four elementary schools over the summer.
Superintendent Dr. Jon Holmen welcomes preschool students to the 2020-21 school year
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.
We would like to take this opportunity to express our admiration and gratitude to our Lake Washington School District grounds team for their effort especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
We are a district with 52 sites across 76 square miles. Our grounds team maintains over 700 acres ensuring each site is safe and secure for our students, staff and community at LWSD. The team continues to provide essential work and excellent service while complying with COVID-19 safety requirements such as physical distancing, and sanitization of tools and equipment.
Our ability to ensure our sites are welcoming, safe and secure year-round can only be accomplished with the leadership and hard work from our incredible team.
