We invite our families to join us for Literacy Night on Thursday, March 7 from 5-7 PM. We will serve a free dinner from 5:00-5:30 in the gym. Families will then select different activities and earn stamps for their passports. We will then gather in the gym to exchange passports for books.

We look forward to coming together as a community of learners. As always, thanks for sharing your greatest gift…your child!

Building Bridges to Beloved Community (BB2BC)

Join us for a series of interactive and engaging sessions that provide an opportunity to bring our school staff and our student families together to have conversations about how to talk about race and deepen cultural fluency. We will move in brave spaces and work outside of our regular boundaries to explore and celebrate the diversity that makes up Spokane Public Schools. We will gather for shared learning and a meal is an act of solidarity and shows a commitment to self-growth and community building. BB2BC Family Night is Thursday, March 14 from 5:00-6:15. BB2BC Family/Staff Night is Thursday, March 28 from 5:00-6:45 with dinner provided. Register using the QR code below.

Bond Survey

Spokane Public Schools is grateful to voters for approving the Educational Programs and Operation Levy in the Feb. 13, special election. While the school facility bond initiative received 55.9% approval, it did not meet the 60% threshold to pass.

To help us understand community thoughts about the bond, we encourage you to participate in this brief, anonymous survey. Your answers will assist us as we look for ways to address the continuing needs of school facilities in a manner that aligns with public feedback.

New Student Registration

Spokane Public Schools is now taking new student registration for the 2024-25 school year. This includes incoming kindergartners! Families may register their new students and incoming kindergartners at Enroll / School Registration: 2024-25 (spokaneschools.org).

PTG Bingo Night:

PTG Bingo Night is on Friday, March 22 from 6-8 PM. Doors open at 5:45. Last game called at 7:45. We will have a silent auction as well. Planning meetings will be Tuesday, March 5 at 6:30 and Wednesday, March 20 at 6:00 PM. We hope you will join the fun!

Character Strong: Our March PurposeFull People character trait is Cooperation. Cooperation is working together to reach shared goals. Teachers will focus SEL lessons and Morning Meetings around this character trait. We encourage your family to discuss ways that you demonstrate cooperation at school, work, and at home.

Reading Buddy Volunteers Needed!

Reading Buddy Volunteers Needed: If you have an hour to offer once a week to read with a child, we can use your help! Learn more here Reading Buddies Volunteer Training Video.
