LWPTSA Council’s annual auction benefiting our scholarship program is back in person this year! Proceeds from this auction directly fund academic scholarships for graduating seniors as well as professional development for staff members in LWSD.
How does the auction work? Local PTAs and community partners donate fun, themed gift baskets, which will be displayed at the LWSD Resource Center. Silent bidding will take place during LWSD business hours (M-F 7:30 am to 4:30 pm), starting at noon on October 6 and ending during our closing reception on November 3. All community members are invited to come view our baskets and place bids to help support this important program!

Legislative Assembly 2022
Planning is now underway for WSPTA’s 44th annual Legislative Assembly, October 15-16, which will be unlike any before it!
At its heart, legislative assembly is about participation. PTA members submit new positions to be added to WSPTA’s policy platform, volunteers on the advocacy committee, resolutions committee and board of directors review them, and delegates at legislative assembly amend, debate and vote on whether to adopt them.
This year, WSPTA is planning for legislative assembly to be a hybrid event for more inclusive participation. Delegates will be able to attend and vote in person at Bellevue College or remotely.
Agenda to be sent via email to local unit E-Prep Chairs.
For the 2022-2023 school year, SEG meetings are back in person at the LWSD Resource Center at 16250 NE 74th Street, Redmond WA 98052 (click for a map). An unstructured networking time will be held from 6:30 to 7 pm, offering an opportunity for members to connect with one another. The formal portion of the meeting will begin at 7 pm.
INTERPRETER OR STUDENT CARE:
If you require interpretation or student care during our meetings, please contact us at specialeducation@lwptsa.net at least 3 business days prior to the meeting you plan to attend so that we can make arrangements for you.

A nomination committee is a key indicator of PTA health and is a WSPTA Bylaw and SOA requirement. This presentation will help participants understand the importance of the nominating committee, how to elect them, and methods of organization, so PTAs have the tools to help them recruit the best qualified candidates for the positions. A fair and impartial nomination process involves your membership and ensures your PTA’s success for many years into the future.
This will be a virtual presentation, hosted by Bellevue PTSA Council. Registrants will receive a Zoom link the day before the event. Register here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/nom-com-training-tickets-434085600717
