If you need to pick up your student during the school day for an early dismissal, please send a signed note with your student, or email the Attendance Office a day in advance, or call the school office at 425-936-2460 a minimum of 1 hour before you arrive (earlier is even better)! This will give the office staff time to have your student waiting for you in the office when you arrive. If you prefer to have your student meet you in front of the building instead of in the office, please make this request when you call. Your student may head out there after signing out in the office.

You may also let us know by email, with 24 hours advance notice.

Report an early release

Students are dismissed at 12:50 pm.

Yes! If we don’t hear from a parent/guardian that a student is going to be absent, the absence will automatically be marked as unexcused. Parents can call the attendance hotline at 425-936-2461 and leave a message, email the attendance office or call the school office at 425-936-2460. When leaving a message, please state your name, your relationship to the student and the reason for the absence.

Report an Absence or Tardy

Should you need to get a message to your student during school hours, please call our main line (425-936-2460) or email the attendance office and we will do our best to get the message to your student. Our school policy states that student cell phones must be turned off between the hours of 7:50 am and 2:20 pm so please help your student be successful by not communicating with them via their cell phone during the school day. Cell phones may be turned back on after 2:20 pm (12:50 pm on early release Wednesdays).

When school is in session: If your student is having a problem with his/her laptop, your student should take the computer down to the library during Pride Time. Most days we have a district technology technician on site during that time who can take a look at it. Middle School is a great time for kids to practice the skill of self-advocacy, so please allow your child the opportunity to take the steps necessary to get the issue solved on their own.

Please read the information on the following link to make an informed decision on whether your child should stay home, or not. If while at school, your child is determined to have any of the symptoms described in this list, you will be called and asked to pick up your child from school.

When is your child too sick to attend school?

Please contact our Registrar. Name changes will require that you show proof of legal name change and photo ID. Address changes require that you fill out a Residency Verification Form | Español and provide two acceptable address verification documents.

TRANSPORTATION INFORMATION

Middle School students are generally eligible for district transportation if they reside outside of a 2.0 mile radius. If your student is eligible for transportation, you will receive an email from the district's Transportation Department, before school begins, listing the bus information for your student(s). This email contains the route number; bus stop location; and time of pick up and drop off. If you did not receive an email, you can look up the information online, by using the link above. Parents will be contacted by the driver with route information for special needs students.

If you have a question about a bus stop, contact the Transportation Department at 425-936-1120 or BusRoutes@lwsd.org. Calls and emails are answered in the order in which they are received. The Transportation Department receives a high volume of calls at the beginning of the school year. We appreciate your patience as they respond as quickly as possible.

NEW! You can track your student's bus in real time through the My Stop App.
