Happy Tuesday!

We celebrated our first big event of the year on Friday, and our turnout was incredible! We had over 220 families RSVP 'YES' with over 600 people in attendance! A huge thank you to all the volunteers for their time and the families who donated snacks and drinks! It is so wonderful when we get our community together for an evening of Bingo fun!

Thank you!

NOTE from the Principals:

We want to thank you all for partnering with us as we continue to fine-tune our pick-up and drop-off process. Working together, we have made progress in safely and efficiently getting students connected to their families in the car pick-up line. 

We are working to improve and address our compliance with city regulations in the east parking lot. This parking lot is not for parent pick-up or drop-off, except for preschool families.

The east parking lot is only for busses and staff parking. To help our community follow this process we will be putting up more signage and moving over more staff to help communicate family/parent pick-up or drop-off should only be happening at the west parking lot.

Pre-K car tags will be provided to our preschool families and are needed to enter the east parking lot area. The tag will be distributed by preschool teachers. 

Additionally, to help alleviate the backup on 24th Street during pick-up times, cars should pull up all the way around the car pick-up line near and past the fire station. As always, please let us know if you have any questions.

We are looking for parents who are interested in helping with the

following events this year:

• Heritage night
• Fun day (Field Day)
• Walk- a- thon
• Translation assistance for PTA materials (all languages)

 Please email volunteer@clydehillpta.org is you are interested!

The Fall 2023 after-school enrichment program is here! 

The classes and registration links are listed here.

Any questions can be answered on PTA's Facebook page!

Clyde Hill PTA is always open to receiving recommendations from parents and partners for new enrichment programs. Any potential partner can fill out this partner application form to start the conversation with the PTA.

Our school is one of 20 schools participating in Bellevue SchoolPool’s Walk & Roll to SchoolPool campaign during the week of Oct. 2-6!

Bellevue SchoolPool is a program that encourages families and students to explore sustainable transportation options for their commute to and from school and alleviate congestion at drop-off and pickup times and locations. During the campaign, students and families are encouraged to walk, bike, carpool, or take the bus to and/or from school.

This fall, the campaign is centered around International Walk & Roll to School Day on Wednesday, Oct. 4, but SchoolPool encourages students to try a new way to school any time during the week!

SchoolPool also provides students with fun lenticular rulers, blinking lights, and a backpack flyer with travel safety tips, and participating helps raise money for our school.

For resources including how to set up a bike train or walking school bus and carpooling tips, visit www.BellevueSchoolPool.org and look under “Resources for Students and Families.”

Does your student enjoy science, technology, engineering, art, and/or math?

We invite students ages 4 through 5th grade to join our monthly camps during the 2023-24 school year!

Wise Camps is offering five STEM nights on Wednesdays from 5-7:30 p.m.

Students rotate through five exciting stations and enjoy a Costco Pizza dinner!

On Friday, November 10th, and Monday, January 15th, there is no school in honor of Veteran's Day and MLK Jr. Day, so we are offering a full-day STEM experience from 8:30-3:30 p.m. with Panda Express lunch provided!

The cost of STEM nights is $50. Full-day STEM camps are $150.

Buy a 2023-24 Camp Pass for all 7 camps and save $50. Sibling discounts and scholarships are available.

All camps will be held in elementary/middle schools on the Eastside (Bellevue, Mercer Island, Newcastle, and Renton Highlands).

Visit https://www.wisecamps.com/minicamps/ to register--spots are limited! :)

The front office keeps snacks and clothing to make sure all students have a snack and to help with accidents that happen. Please use this Amazon Wish List to help out. Purchases are shipped directly to the school.

Your teacher may have a snack wish list so all classmates have a snack. Please see the teacher newsletter to help.

The PTA would love your help with stocking the staff lounge with snacks and treats for all staff to enjoy throughout the school day. Check out the Amazon Wish List - all purchases are shipped directly to the school for teachers and staff to enjoy.  

We will have another yearbook pickup at curriculum night.



Thank you for your patience throughout this process!!!
