Hello Mustangs!
Do you wonder what happens at the
Lake Washington School District Board meetings, or what
Lake Washington PTSA does? Answer both questions in one place!
Attend the next LWSD Board Meeting, February 10th in the LWSD Board Room, at 7:00PM. The first 30 minutes of the meeting will include a presentation by the LWPTSA. Short on time? Stay for just the first 30 minutes. Have plenty of time? Have questions for the School Board? Stay for the Board meeting! There is a public comment period included on the agenda—
Let your voice be heard!
|
|
Another way you can
have your voice heard is by participating in the LWSD online
Thought Exchange! This is your opportunity to answer questions and provide
feedback on the future growth of our district! They want to know “What are the most important perspectives to consider as we plan for future facilities to accommodate growth in our district?” The survey closes February 12th.

Here are a few
important pieces of news to keep on your radar:
|
|
- The Washington State Legislature expanded student pathways to graduation, giving students more options to show readiness for their next steps after high school (House Bill 1599). For more details, please click the Details button.
|
|
|
- Possible Scam! PTSAs are often the target of financial scams, many of which request monetary or gift card requests through email. The RHS PTSA, including all volunteers, chairs, and board members (past and present) will NEVER make any funding requests via email. Any and all budgetary requests are only made in person during RHS PTSA meetings. If you receive an email requesting money or gift cards from the PTSA or any PTSA board members or chairpersons, please forward it to president@redmondhsptsa.org and we will notify our council and state PTSA representatives.
|
|
- LWSD recently published helpful links regarding the Corona virus (2019-nCoV). For the most up to date information on this virus, please click the Corona virus Info button. As with all viruses, it is important to practice good hand washing, get good sleep, drink plenty of water, and stay home when not feeling well. Please click the LWSD guidelines for health button for details.

Thanks for supporting our PTSA and remember to get involved wherever you can;
we want YOU to be a part of our RHS PTSA!
|

Sincerely,
Meredith Cain and Michelle Obenaus
RHS PTSA Co-Presidents

Your copy should address 3 key questions: Who am I writing for? (Audience) Why should they care? (Benefit) What do I want them to do here? (Call-to-Action)
Create a great offer by adding words like "free" "personalized" "complimentary" or "customized." A sense of urgency often helps readers take an action, so think about inserting phrases like "for a limited time only" or "only 7 remaining!"
