It was great to see so many families at Curriculum Night and the Ice Cream Social! As we settle into the school year, I want to take a moment to express my gratitude to our incredible students, dedicated staff, and supportive families. Thank you for your continued support!

We look forward to a fantastic month of learning and community-building. We are committed to providing your child with the best education possible and fostering a positive and inclusive environment.

Wishing you all a happy and safe October!

School spirit day is a fun way for everyone to come together and show off their Leopard pride.

Current COVID Protocols. Nurse News for October

At Lockwood, we are an inclusive community where all who attend are never put into a position where they cannot participate in an event based on religion or cultural beliefs. For some, the practice associated with wearing costumes goes against their values and teachings. Aside from religious or cultural concerns, we also want to avoid putting financial pressure on parents. Therefore, we will continue to not participate in the practice of wearing costumes. Our celebration for October will be around fall and the change this brings for all. We will engage in parties and art activities which bring joy to students and allows for fun and social engagement.

When volunteers commit to serving at a school, students achieve higher grades, have access to more opportunities, and gain community connections to help them thrive.

Any change in your child’s daily routine must be validated by a note from a parent/guardian. If a note is not possible, please call the office 425.408.5800. Emailing staff is not always reliable due to absences or substitutes.

Each year, the U.S. observes National Hispanic and Latinx Heritage Month, from September 15 to October 15, by celebrating the histories, cultures, and contributions of Hispanic and Latinx peoples from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central America, and South America.

• No Early Drop-Off Please do not drop off your students before 9:10 a.m. when morning supervision starts.

• Pull forward Pulling as far forward in the drop-off zone as possible allows us to unload more vehicles at a time.

• Exit Cubside For their safety, students should exit the vehicle on the cub side only.

• Unload Quickly Have your student organized and ready to quickly exit the vehicle. We can help your child get their coat or backpack outside of the vehicle more effectively.
