LWSD
K-5 registration begins Feb 24
Clara Barton welcomes new Bobcats! Registration opens February 24. Don’t delay. Enrollment impacts staff hiring.
Kindergarten registration includes children who will be five years old on or before August 31, 2022 . Registration for all K-12 LWSD students is online. All necessary documents can be accessed on the LWSD website and completed documents can be uploaded securely. Parents who are unable to upload documents may send them by U.S. mail or drop them off at the Clara Barton office.
Important: While K-12 student registration will continue throughout the school year and summer, parents are highly encouraged to register students as soon as possible. Registering early helps LWSD to ensure that class sizes are balanced and adequate staff are hired in time for the new school year.
Vote to Support Student Excellence through Local Levies
Local levies help bridge the funding gap between what the state provides our schools and what we actually need to support students. Every four years, Lake Washington School District asks voters to renew the Educational Programs and Operations and Capital Projects levies to continue the primary funding source for technology used by students, teachers, school staff, and administrators, and for facility system upgrades and improvements.
LWSD is asking for three local levies on the February 8 ballot. Each measure will help support excellence for every student. Ballots must be dropped off either back in the mail or in a King County Election drop box, or postmarked by 8 p.m. on Tuesday, February 8.
Learn more about the propositions on the LWSD site.
