Join us TODAY for Whittier PTA's monthly meeting in-person at the Whittier Library and over Zoom. Each month, we hear updates from Principal Watters, discuss and vote on activities that impact our school, and build our community and sense of belonging. All are welcome; you don't need to be a member to attend! Learn more at whittierptaseattle.org.

New and prospective families are invited for a school tour and information session TOMORROW! This session will be hosted by Whittier’s Principal, Cindy Watters, Whittier staff, and some current Whittier families. The session will begin with a school tour, including Kindergarten classrooms, and conclude in the Whittier Library for an informational presentation and Q&A. Adult caregivers are also invited (but not required!) to stay for the Whittier PTA’s monthly meeting (beginning at 7pm).

All are welcome to this session. Please note children are also welcome but many new and prospective families choose to attend this session without children as the presentations are prepared for adult audiences. Once students are assigned, Whittier hosts other student-centered tours before school start (so they won't miss out!). Learn more at whittierptaseattle.org.

All are welcome to join PTA volunteers for a work session on February 4 (TOMORROW) from 7-9pm in the Whittier Library.

Welcome back, Wildcats! Whittier PTA is hosting the first meeting of the school year on Tuesday, September 10th in-person at the Whittier library and over Zoom.

Please note the meeting start time has shifted to 7:30pm so folks can catch the Presidential Debate beforehand (we'll be streaming the debate right before the meeting, too!). Everyone is encouraged and welcome to attend (you don't have to be a member!).

This month's meeting will include a strategic planning update, an update from Principal Watters, and more. Learn more about the meeting (including the planned agenda) here: https://whittierptaseattle.org/events/pta-meeting-8/

Paws Up for Wildcats! Thank you to our Whittier families who have already donated clothes to our Big Blue Bin. With spring starting to bloom, if you have any clothing donations, please bag them, and place them in the bin. They also accept small toys and books. Your old clothes go a long way for children with disabilities. Go Wildcats!
