Northshore School District hosts March open houses on grade reconfiguration and fall 2017 transition support
Published 4:36 pm Wednesday, February 24, 2016
Northshore schools will move to K-5 elementary schools, 6-8 middle schools and 9-12 high schools in fall 2017. The district will host open houses in March for participants to talk with district staff and principals about the changes that will happen through grade reconfiguration, the work of the grade reconfiguration task forces and the planning schools (and the district) are doing to support students, staff and families through the transitions.
Importantly, participants will have an opportunity to provide input on transition needs in relation to the various changes that will occur in fall 2017 (grade reconfiguration, boundary adjustments, the opening of North Creek High School, later high school start times and full-day kindergarten). The input form will also be available online in English and Spanish from the district website before the first open house on March 2. This input will be shared with the district, schools and associated task forces to support their work in developing plans to support students, staff and families through the transitions.
