WA State PTA survey & Webinars Announcement

Legislative Survey

What is most important to students at Queen Anne Elementary? Take a quick PTA survey and let us know. Washington State PTA lobbies on behalf of all members for the well-being and education of Washington youth. Delegates will be meeting this October to adjust our 2-year platform and we are gathering feedback for them.

They will be considering adding six issues (early learning; juvenile justice; opportunity gap; school zone signage; charter schools; and highly capable) and amending our teacher compensation priority. Links to issue guides can be found here. Your opinion matters! It will help shape our advocacy for the next year. But hurry -- survey closes Sept. 18. Questions,  please contact Jenice Lee at [email protected]

Common CORE Standards Webinar:

The Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction will be hosting a series of webinars in English language arts and mathematics that will address the transition to the Common Core State Standards in these subjects. These webinars are for all who are interested in developing and deepening their awareness of how the Common Core State Standards will impact student learning in Washington State.

In the first webinars, the Common Core State Standard documents in mathematics and English language arts will be introduced and their design and organization explained.  Resources available to support implementation and the latest information available from the SMARTER Balanced Assessment Consortium will be shared.

Registration is required to participate.  After registering, you will receive a confirmation email and instructions to join the webinar.  Questions will be accepted during the webinar via the Questions Box feature.
