Our Mid-West transition team met this past Monday. We are in the midst of planning for Wilburton students to have the opportunity to visit the school they’ll be attending next year if it is within the Bellevue School District. For most students that is Enatai or Clyde Hill, but for some students it will be a different Bellevue Elementary School. Student Ambassadors have been selected from Wilburton, Clyde Hill and Enatai and they will greet students and show them around when they come to visit Enatai and Clyde Hill! We are excited for the school visits! We are also excited to be sharing with you soon a Family Survey – we want to hear from you! Be on the lookout for an email with the link coming soon! Lastly, we will be inviting Incoming Superintendent Dr. Aramaki to join us for one of our upcoming meetings.
