We are also offering 30 minutes of Somali enrichment to one of our Kindergarten classes. Thank you OneAmerica for advocating for continued funding for Dual Language programming!

White Center Heights staff are planning and preparing for a great year with our students. What is your goal for your child this year? Our goal is to partner with you to live out our mission.

We had a fabulous Carnival with student-made games, community partners including WCCDA, the fire department and Arts Corps. Thank you Ms. Cohen and the Family Engagement team for planning such a wonderful event and for all the teachers and parents who volunteered!

Yesterday Ms. Vo provided professional development to teachers about the Asian American experience . Teachers will be integrating this important history and representation in their curriculum as part of our IRI (Instruction on Race & Identity) focus. We want to make sure all our students feel seen and are valued at our school and in our district. We want all to have a strong sense of belonging.

Join us in celebrating our teachers for the next two weeks!
