Reminder: Parents Supporting Parents Meeting – Mon, Oct. 15 at 7 p.m.

Published on by hanarubLeave a comment

Your kid doesn’t need to have an IEP or 504 for you to come to a support meeting. You can bring any of your challenges. Is your child struggling with reading or math? Memory or organization? Social skills? Come to a meeting, connect with other parents, ask questions, and share resources. That’s what it’s all about. The first meeting will be Monday, October 15 from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. in the Hazel Wolf library. We’ll share challenges and resources as well as choose topics and themes for future meetings. Additional dates for the 2018-19 school year are: December 3, February 4, April 1, and June 3. All meetings will be from 7 to 9 p.m. in the library. Sadly, childcare is not provided.

Email elliskatherinem@gmail.com with questions or concerns. See you there!

Oct. 13 Advocacy Event and Info on Families, Education, Preschool, and Promise Levy (Prop 1)

Published on by hanarubLeave a comment

The Families, Education, Preschool, and Promise Levy will renew the expiring Families and Education Levy (2011) and the Seattle Preschool Levy (2014) and will broaden its scope to serve early learners, K-12 vulnerable populations, and college access. This levy is separate from the Operations and Capital levies, coming up for vote in February, intended to fill the budget gap from what the state provides for education.

The proposed levy will make seven years of investment to:

  • Double the number of low-income children in quality preschool;
  • Increase K-12 and community investments, including critical school-based health services, increasing teacher diversity and helping students most at risk of dropping out of school;
  • Expand access to college for all Seattle Public School graduates through the Seattle Promise College Tuition Program.

Advocacy opportunity: Join the Yes on Prop 1 (the FEPP Levy) campaign for a canvas this Saturday, October 13 at 10 a.m. in Lake City. Bring your kids and walk the neighborhood, and leave whenever you feel done. If interested, email Eliza Rankin (liza.rankin at gmail.com) and she’ll connect you with the organizers.

The Seattle Council PTSA (SCPTSA) endorsed a “yes” vote on the levy at our general membership meeting on October 1. Download this PDF for more info.

We Need Your Input by Oct. 8! What Issues are Most Important to You?

Published on by hanarubLeave a comment

Each fall Washington State PTA hosts a legislative assembly where they set the priorities for the year. We would love to know what’s most important to you.

Unfortunately, our school hasn’t submitted enough responses yet and we need your help! The survey deadline has been extended, so please take the online survey before midnight on Monday, October 8 to help PTSA delegates vote on the TOP 5 issues that are most important to our school. The issues supporting the “Health, Education & Welfare” of our students cover a wide spectrum of legislative policies from school meals and closing to the gaps to preschool, recess, SEL, teacher shortages, gun safety and more. Take the survey to find out what’s on the proposed agenda and share your priorities with the Hazel Wolf K-8 PTSA.

Your voice matters! Please take a few moments and let us know what’s important to you and your family.

Questions? Contact Rachel Lipsky at legislative@hazelwolfk8.org
