We ask each of our local PTA presidents and their school principal to attend this yearly workshop, designed to help lay a foundation for the ’24-’25 academic year. We will cover the purposes and limitations of PTAs and school administrators, conflict resolution, and other topics to help PTAs and schools build strong partnerships.
We have revamped the event this year to be shorter, less repetitive, and with more time for networking.
One principal from each school is required to attend this event. PTA presidents should prioritize attendance. If your PTA’s president is unable to attend, another board member should be designated to participate.
The financial management of the PTA is the responsibility of the entire board of directors. At this free, WSPTA-approved training, learn the basic financial skills to manage and track PTA funds, online accounts, legal obligations to maintain your tax-exempt status and other considerations. Recommended for all elected officers and board members.
Lake Washington PTSA Council, in coordination with Lake Washington School District, is hosting our 8th annual welcome event for our new and international families. Click for map of event location: 16250 NE 74th Street, Redmond WA 98052
This is a great opportunity for families to learn about the school district, ask questions, and meet other LWSD families. Whether you’ve moved from a different county or from a different country, this event is for you!
Community partners will be set up in the lobby from 4-7 pm, and LWSD and PTSA speakers will be in the board room from 5-6:30 pm.
LWPTSA Council would like to support this event by once again providing free child care for participants from 4:45-6:45 pm. If you are interested in volunteering to help, please contact our FACE VP, Danish Majeed, at FACE@LWPTSA.net.

This year’s theme is “Accepting Imperfection.”
The LWPTSA Sustainability Committee is made up of local sustainability chairs at schools across the district.

Sustainability Committee meetings for 2024-2025 will be a mix of in-person meetings at the LWSD Resource Center Sammamish Room (16250 NE 74th St., Redmond WA 98052) as well as online sessions via Zoom.
