Thank you,

Please join us for our final board meeting of the 2013-14 school this Thursday evening. We’ll review the year and present for approval the PTSA's proposed budget for 2014-15.  Your input is extremely valuable, so we encourage you to attend!

Childcare will be provided in the library. Please contact Karen Gigliotti to sign up.

Dear Parents,
Last night the Seattle School Board selected the new math curriculum for Seattle K-5 schools.  After public testimony and a "robust" discussion among the board and SPS staff, Math in Focus (Singapore Math) was adopted in a 4-3 school board vote.  The dual curriculum adoption was withdrawn early in the meeting by Director Peters and McLaren and replaced by an amendment for the single adoption of Math in Focus.  

SPS posted the announcement here with further links to the math adoption process and the school board discussion on SPS TV.

Many thanks to the QAE parents and community who contacted SPS and/or the school board concerning the math selection.

Legislative Co-Chair, QAE PTSA

Please forgive the delay, there was a mix-up at the printer, but we are so thankful they have finally arrived. 

If you placed an order at the auction or online, look for them to come home with your child on Wednesday. If you have not ordered one but would like to, they are still for sale! A few hardback copies are available for $100 and softbound for $35. A copy is on display in the office if you are curious and want to see it first. Checks can be made out to the PTSA and brought into office and placed in the cookbook envelope. 

Thanks again for your support! 

Please email Anne Marie Canlis at canlis.am@gmail.com with any questions.
