* We are beginning the year with Family Connection Days to maximize preparedness and opportunity to connect with families before the first student instruction day. Meetings will last 15 to 30 minutes. 

Schools will reach out to schedule your Family Connection meeting. During these meetings families and students will connect with their child’s teacher (elementary) or advisory instructor (secondary). Families and students will share information about their strengths and needs and supports they may need. 

** Emergency Make-up Days (if needed) per OSPI recommendation
