Open Houses for Possible Elementary Program Placement Changes

You're invited to attend a Community Open House. At each event you will learn about the proposed boundaries, speak one-on-one with district staff, and share your feedback. Please attend whichever event works best for your schedule.

Do you have questions or thoughts about potential changes to school boundaries and elementary program placements in the east side of the District?  Join us to learn about and review some of the options being considered, and then engage in a question and answer session.

Child Internet Safety Presentation (Rescheduled)

Technology and social media are capturing the time and attention of our children. Families need to keep pace with the cyber world in order to keep our kids safe!

Parents/guardians and community members are invited to attend a FREE presentation by Stefanie Thomas, "Child Internet Safety," on Tuesday, March 12th from 6:30-7:30pm at the Woodmoor Elementary Library. Ms. Thomas worked 6 years on the Internet Task Force for the Seattle Police Department working both internet crime against children and the commercial sexual exploitation of children as a victim advocate. She uses this experience to education parents about internet safety.

Topics of discussion include:

  • Cyberbullying
  • Social networking/online gaming
  • Online posting
  • Sexting
  • The reality of kids as targets
  • Cell phone & internet safety tips

FREE childcare provided by YMCA by reservation. Please RSVP for childcare to woodmoorptsachair@gmail.com.
