Transportation Updates - Info to be sent on Aug. 27th

8/22/2018

 
As we prepare for the year at John Marshall, QAE is working with the district to finalize route schedules for buses from the Queen Anne area to John Marshall, including the pick-up and drop-off at the central locations at John Hay and the Queen Anne Community Center.

SPS will communicate details about bus routes by August 27th. They will communicate directly to families. This includes both families who live on routes in the Transportation Zone as well as those who indicated they want to take advantage of the central pick-up/drop-off locations.

If you did not previously tell SPS that your family wants to use pick-up/drop-off at either John Hay Elementary or Queen Anne Community Center, it is your responsibility to email [email protected] to make sure your child is on the list at your preferred site.  Please do this ASAP.  If you choose this option, you are responsible for drop off/pick up at the appropriate location each day.

​There are some additional details on transportation on our Building Renovation page.

2018 Back-to-School Night: August 29th!

8/18/2018

We'll be going back to school ... at our new home! Join us on Wednesday, August 29th, from 5-6pm for Back-to-School Night at John Marshall School.

With this year's construction of the renovated Queen Anne campus, we'll be getting our first visit to QAE classrooms at John Marshall (520 NE Ravenna Blvd). Students and their families can learn their classroom assignments and meet their teachers and classmates prior to the first day of school. Plans are still being formulated, but keep an eye out for details about other ways we'll celebrate. 

Families can meet in the cafeteria at 5pm to see class lists, learn about the PTSA and QAE Spirit Wear, then tour the John Marshall building. Maps will be posted so families can find the location of their child’s classroom, the library and more. Classrooms are still under construction so doors will be closed as unpacking is in progress. Finding where the classrooms and lockers are is an important part of this event!  From 5-5:20pm, a QAE staff member will be on each floor to help you find where things are.

After touring, families are welcome to come through the building onto the enclosed playground to say hi to QAE staff, see where their child will line up each morning and check out our John Marshall playground.

We look forward to seeing you there! If you have any questions, please contact the PTSA at [email protected].
