Seattle Schools This Week

On waitlists, here's the page and the pertinent wording:

District staff have been making waitlist moves since April, and staff continue to contact families as choice seats are available. Waitlists remain active until August 31, and moves will continue to be made where seats are available and such that waitlist moves do not impact staffing between schools.

In order to support attendance area schools and our district’s model, unfortunately not all students are able to get a different assignment beyond their attendance area school. 

Each year, after open enrollment, district staff look at the effect of moving waitlists before making any adjustments. Typically, staff do not move waitlists that positively or negatively affect staffing. We recognize this can be confusing when there is physical capacity at a potential receiving school. Enrollment staff need to consider that a shift at one school has the potential to negatively influence the staffing and program viability at another school.

I continue to dislike this.  I believe that it masks what is truly happening at schools and doesn't give the Board the truest picture of what parents want.  And, it props up schools that the district should consider giving a change in order to transparently boost attendance.

Starting this week, it's Jump Start for kindergartners.

Aug. 20 - 24, 9 a.m. - 12 p.m. Jump Start, a one-week free transition program for new kindergarten students at most schools.

Jump Start is a FREE week-long experience for Kindergartners to learn about school. Children will become familiar with their new school building, staff, typical school day activities and practices. Their parents/guardians will be able to meet with the school principal and ask questions about school. 

To note,  there are no agendas yet available for any of these meetings.  The Board's strategic manager, Nate Van Duzer, is gone now and the office adm has no published email.

 As well, I have written the Board to ask that the policy of NOT providing documentation online for committee meetings be changed.  It is just silly to have to write - for every single committee meeting - for the documentation.

Tuesday, August 21st
