Volunteer at the STEM Fair!

3/6/2024 9:09 pm

WE NEED YOU! The format of our STEM Fair shifts the work of a traditional "Science Fair" off the kids and onto the adults, which makes it more equitable, but means that we rely on you, our community of parents and guardians, to make it happen!

Action alert! Please advocate for more funding for our public schools

**ACTION ALERT!! The Washington State Legislature is in session as of 1/8/2024! 

Please see below for what support is needed NOW for reaching out to the Washington State Legislature to request more funding for public schools.

Schools across Washington State, including Seattle Public Schools, face growing structural budget deficits that threaten to cause huge cuts and even school closures. Seattle's projected deficit for next year is $105 million. Our state legislature can prevent this by taking action to fully fund public education during this legislative session. 

Here’s what you can do now:

1. Contact your legislators

• First, identify your legislators (link) and find their contact info

• Read the one-pager with messaging you can use or link to here.

• Or use this form email that you can personalize

2. Spread the word to other parents, caregivers, educators, and community members. Encourage them to sign up to receive our updates and follow us on Instagram 

3. Share your input with your school board directors, urging them advocate to the legislature for more school funding

• Email the Seattle School Board or yours if you are in a different district

About All Together for Seattle Schools: We are a group of parents, educators, and community members who support K-12 public education. Amply funded public schools benefit all of us, because educating today’s students is an investment in our state’s collective future.

We are a grassroots network of public school parents, mostly in Seattle. A core group of volunteers has been mobilizing since late October, and we have a big lift ahead of us over the next few months and beyond. Our main priority is to educate and mobilize public school families so that they will be heard by district and state decision-makers.

Volunteer Appreciation, 2021-2022

7/7/2022 4:30 pm

Our school would be nothing without the incredible service of our staff, educators, and volunteers. We held a Volunteer Appreciation assembly at the end of the 2021-2022 school year to honor some pretty amazing folks as they move on from our community, hopefully to even bigger and better things! 

After School Enrichment 2022-23: It's Complicated

7/7/2022 3:21 pm

Green Lake Elementary prides itself on providing fun and enriching after-school activities for our students. In years past, we've had everything from golf to coding to cooking to chess taking place in the hour after school ends each day. 

The pandemic brought after school enrichment to a grinding halt. We want to bring these programs back as soon as we possibly can, but it may take some time: our vendors need to apply with the District, and as with so many other things the processes are changing and much is still up in the air. 

School Supplies: Read this first before you buy!

7/7/2022 3:05 pm

For the 2022-23 school year, GLES will be purchasing essential school supplies in bulk, and will be asking families who can afford it to pay $25/student to cover costs. This will also include the Yearbook, which will be made and printed in-house for next year.
