For the first time in YEARS, the district is actually listening and willing to engage in community feedback about advanced/highly capable learning for students in our district, so now is a REALLY important time for our Lafayette community to get involved, especially since half of our school's population qualifies for these services.

Friends of Hicap Seattle will be hosting an informational session on Friday, Sept 26th from 12pm-1pm: Upcoming Events – Friends of HiCap Seattle

Upcoming SPS HC Engagement Sessions for West/South Regions :

• Tuesday, Sept 30th from 6:30-7:30pm - Chief Sealth High School

On January 30th, 2025 communities from across Washington will converge on Olympia to hold the ultimate Billion Dollar Bake Sale as part of an Statewide Advocacy Day for Public Schools! This will be a fun way to build community, get trained in advocacy, and to make our demands clear to the legislature:

• Prevent devastating school district cuts for 2025-26

• Secure at least $4 billion per year of stable long-term funding for K-12 public education

• Commit to making Washington State a leader in public education

This is our continuing coverage of the SPS Well Resourced Schools plans for school closures. These links and updates are being provided to keep the Lafayette community informed, and to provide avenues and outlets for discussion and action.

Dear Parents - 

In light of the proposed SPS Well-Resourced Schools plan options, your Lafayette PTA would like to provide any interested parents with resources to learn more. Including contact info and meeting details for upcoming SPS Board meetings. 

Our goal is to support students and families as we navigate this transition.
