Update: Contract Bargaining and Negotiations

Just in case you have missed the emails from Seattle Public schools, or the posts from 100 of your closest friends on Facebook, here is the latest:

"Dear Families,

We are pleased to let you know that a tentative two-year agreement has been reached by the Seattle Education Association, which represents educators, and Seattle Public Schools bargaining teams. SEA members are scheduled to vote on the tentative agreement on Tuesday, Sept, 3 at about 5 p.m. If SEA members vote to approve the agreement, school will start on time on Sept. 4. We will inform families on Tuesday evening of the outcome of the vote, which will also be shared by media. Superintendent José Banda thanks the SEA and SPS bargaining teams for their hard work and commitment to student success. We will continue to update our website at www.seattleschools.org.

Thank you,
Office of Public Affairs
Seattle Public Schools"

K-2 After school care at the Phinney neighborhood center

Hello!  I was contacted by the YMCA regarding this new program. Here is the info they sent me!

"The YMCA is offering afterschool care at the Phinney Neighborhood Center beginning in the fall. It is being offered for students at the new North Seattle French School at the PNC but is open to children from all local schools. One unique feature of the program is that it is for Kindergarten through 2^nd grade only, so it’s customized towards the younger age group of the elementary spectrum, and will have a very low child to instructor ratio.

 The Y will also provide transportation from nearby schools (including Bagley)

 You can sign up for the YMCA PNC Program here or you can contact Andy McClenahan at the YMCA atamcclenahan@seattleymca.org or call 524-1400 to sign up/ask questions."
