Summer Volunteer Opportunity:

Looking for volunteers for this summer. Lake City Community Center needs volunteers an hour a week to help with art projects we need done. We also need people for Saturday, August 3, Lake City Summer Festival, and Saturday, August 17, the Big Day of Play. That is up to 25 hours for the summer. This is a good opportunity to get your high school volunteer hours in.

Please contact Jarod.Okano@Seattle.gov.

Recent Graduates:

Diplomas will be available for pick-up in the main office after August 13th (9 – 3pm).

Parents/Families:

Introducing SUN Bucks, the grocery EBT program that helps combat summer childhood hunger. Families with eligible school-age children will receive $120 per child during the summer for groceries. Starts June 2024.

Some children will be automatically eligible for SUN Bucks, while others will need to apply. Students may be automatically eligible for Summer EBT if they:

or Are age 8–18 and are a member of a household that receives benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Food Assistance Program (FAP), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), or State-Funded Assistance (SFA).

Students who do not qualify automatically can apply by submitting a Summer EBT application. To qualify for SUN Bucks, these students must be enrolled at a school that participates in the NSLP or SBP, and Live in a household that meets NSLP Income Eligibility Guidelines to qualify for free or reduced-price meals. Learn more about the New SUN Bucks Program.

Ensuring that all students become honorable, skillful, thinking, global citizens.

Free Meals for Students

You may qualify for free or reduced-price meals. In all Seattle schools, students who qualify for free or reduced-price meals receive meals at no cost. You must reapply every year. Qualification is based on household income. Applications have a quick turn around time and may take as little as 3 days to process.

Students who qualify receive additional benefits including reduced fees for the following programs.

Event Fees
College in the High School tuition
Advanced Placement Tests
Field Trips
Associated Student Body (ASB) Fees
Pre-College Exams (PSAT/SAT/ACT)
College Application Fees
Running Start Books and fees

Instructions:

Step 1: Submit online application for PayPams The application comes translated in several languages.

Step 2: Once approved, please bring a copy of the F/RL approval letter into main office so your student can begin to receive reduced fee benefits. The school district does not inform the main office when your student is approved for free and reduced meals.

Procedures for Early Dismissal– Students who need to leave early should bring their parental note (which should include your signature and phone number) to the Attendance office upon arrival at school. Parent’s needing to retrieve their students for an appt. should call the Attendance office at 206-252-3684 or email the Attendance office directly at halehs.attendance@seattleschools.org as soon as possible. Since the Attendance office Secretary is usually at lunch from 1-2pm, retrieving students at the end of the day is not always successful and can be chaotic. Calling early in the morning or as soon as you know that student needs to leave, yields the most accurate service.
