Do you have family members with racecar brains and no brakes? Do you have students with enormous potential that just don’t quite connect?

Hazel Wolf K-8’s ADHD Parent Group would like to invite you to its first educational event, featuring guest speaker Bethany Febus ACCG PCC.

When? Thursday, April 25, 2024 | 6pm
Where? Cafetorium at Hazel Wolf K-8 ESTEM School, 11530 12th Ave NE, Seattle, WA 98125
Cost: Free of charge

In A Brain-Based Approach to Understanding and Supporting ADHD, Bethany will share her extensive personal and professional experience, and research-based understanding, of ADHD; providing valuable insights and working strategies that go beyond tips and tricks.

During her presentation, Bethany will walk through a framework for understanding the ADHD brain in a way that empowers families and educators to work in new, effective and rewarding ways with their ADHD children.

Refreshments will be available and all are welcome to come, including those from outside the Hazel Wolf K-8 school community. Free, on-street parking is available in the surrounding residential area (please take care not to block driveways and other access routes).

We look forward to welcoming you to what promises to be an evening of insightful learning and supportive conversation. Click below to proceed with registration, or email Leslie Schuyler with any questions.

Bussing Suspended Starting Monday

Published on by elliskatherinem

Hi Wolfpack Families

Unfortunately, due to the labor shortage and vaccine mandate, Seattle Public Schools’ bus vendor does not have enough drivers to operate the busses for our general education students starting this Monday. They are doing their best to hire more drivers to reinstate the bus routes. You can read more from SPS here.

In the meantime, we need to work together to get our kids to school.

We need volunteers for these three jobs:

  1. Parents/guardians who can drive carpools
  2. Parents/guardians who can walk with kids to school
  3. Parents/guardians who can work as crossing guards and traffic control near school

If you can volunteer to help in any of these ways, please complete this Google Form.

If you need help getting your child(ren) to school, complete this Google Form to provide day, time and location information.

This should help us connect families who can work together and support each other.

Also remember that the Hall of Fame Team Camp (HOFTC) provides afterschool care for days when it’s difficult to get your child home. Scholarships are available. You can check out the options here: Hall of Fame Team Camp at Hazel Wolf K-8

Looking for other ways to connect with wolfpack families in your hood and coordinate driving? Some have had luck with this app. https://karpoolclub.com/ Subscribe to the Hazel Wolf School group.

Want to let someone know exactly how you feel? You can reach Governor Inslee here. If his office is flooded with requests it may help move them to bring in the National Guard to get the kids to school. It’s not just for your kid(s) sake but for all the kids who don’t have other options.  

We’re sorry this is hard and frustrating. We’re right here with you and know that if we pull together we can get all these kids to school. We GOT this wolfpack!
