    Keep safe! Looks like some heavy weather is coming our way. Between 5-10 p.m., strong thunderstorms will roll right over Seattle. They’ll come with frequent lightning and heavy, blowing wind. Pockets of hail, potentially above quarter size may fall in isolated stronger t-storm cells. Bursts of damaging wind or even an isolated tornado are also possible, all embedded in a line of storms that will pass this evening.

    We are OPEN tonight, but if you don’t feel safe coming in, please stay home. It may be best to settle and shelter for the night. You can always make up classes! Hopefully, it will all pass us by, but you never know!

    Be safe and no matter when, we’ll see you soon!

    Welcome to a new week! We might actually hit our first 70-degree day this week. Even more fantastic? We are two weeks out from testing for children and teens! Basic information will be sent home starting today. Time to sharpen those skills.

    Besides testing, we’ll be refreshing the school’s entryway this week. Expect some rearrangements, including a new spot for shoes and jackets, along with a bit of cleanup to enhance the overall experience. Don’t worry if you’re unsure about the changes—we’ll be on hand to guide you every step of the way!
