Community info
PTA events and news!
School Discord Group
We've started a Discord Server for our school community! This is a safe online space where we can find the other families in our kid's grade, crowd-source answers to important questions (like "what summer camps are your kids doing?" or "what the heck is Roblox?"), or just generally connect with our community.
This is also where we are doing our community organization and alerts around ICE, so please join!
Winter after school Enrichment!
Register for Winter After School Enrichment!
Our Winter after-school classes will start up the week of Feb 9 (after the Play ends), and you can register now on 6-Crickets! We need a few more kids in these two classes so we don’t have to cancel them:
- Pickleball (3rd-5th)
- NinjaAdventure Games (K-2nd)
You can email enrichment@greenlakedragons.org about scholarships or with any other questions.
Kindergarten Night Out, February 9th!

Kindergarten Night Out will take place on Monday, February 9th from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at the Westy Roosevelt (1215 NE 65th Street, Seattle, WA 98115). Please RSVP for Kindergarten Night Out if you are able to join!
