Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! We want to recognize and honor all our outstanding teachers who are the heart and soul of education. Thank you, teachers, for working hard each and every day to elevate our students to become successful in school and beyond. We celebrate you today and every day!
One of just 50 schools across the country with this distinction
Redmond, Wash. – Ella Baker Elementary in Redmond has been recognized as a National School of Character. This is the first time a school from Washington state has been recognized with this award. The recognition comes from Character.org, an organization dedicated to empowering people of all ages to practice and model core values.
A teacher at Lake Washington High School (LWHS) is making history. Michael Dawson, history teacher at LWHS, recently received the 2021 Thomas J. and Cameron Pressly Endowed Prize for Outstanding History or Social Studies Teacher in Washington Schools.
Students at Nikola Tesla STEM High School (Tesla STEM) have some serious business skills. Dozens of students from Tesla STEM competed at the Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) State Leadership Conference in Spokane between April 10-13. Six individuals and teams finished in first place.
Redmond, Wash. – The National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC) announced today that five Lake Washington School District (LWSD) students will receive National Merit $2500 Scholarships. Forty-eight students were selected statewide for these awards.
Families who have already received an email confirming a spot in the tuition-based preschool or Head Start programs may also register online.
All necessary documents can be accessed on the LWSD website and completed documents can be uploaded securely. Parents who are unable to upload documents may send them to the school by U.S. mail or contact the school to arrange a safe drop off.
Kindergarten registration for the 2022-23 school year is now open.
Important: While K-12 student registration is available throughout the school year and summer, families are highly encouraged to register students as soon as possible. Doing so helps LWSD to ensure that class sizes are balanced and adequate staff are hired in time for the new school year.
Families may now register one or more of their students using Skyward, the district’s student information system. To do so, you will need a login (username) and password.
