Also, there is an School Board Audit and Finance Committee meeting this Thursday, the 11th from 3:30-5:30 in the School Board conference room. I'll bet the budget is the top discussion here.

There are two Director community meetings this Saturday, the 13th. Director Carr's is at the Greenwood Neighborhood Service Center, 8515 Greenwood Avenue North. Director Maier's is at the Bethany Community Church located at 1156 N. 80th - Classroom A (upstairs). Both meetings are from 8:30-10:00.

A Family-to-Family Event

Open enrollment for all schools is March 1-31, 2010.

Registration available onsite.

Represented schools will include:
AS#1 (K-8); Thornton Creek (K-5); Jane Addams (K-8); Salmon Bay (K-8); TOPS (K-8); ORCA (K-8); Pathfinder (K-8); Queen Anne Elementary (K-5); South Shore (PreK-8); the Center School (H.S.); NOVA (H.S); the new STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) School at Cleveland H.S., and APP (located at Lowell and Thurgood Marshall elementary schools, Washington and Hamilton middle schools, and Garfield High School).

What is an option school?
(from the district's site):
Option Schools are the schools that, in the New Student Assignment Plan, do not have specific attendance area boundaries.
Students may apply for any Option School in the city, and transportation is provided to specific linked Option Schools based on attendance area. Option Schools include a number of schools that follow an alternative curriculum (for example, expeditionary learning).
