Eckstein Middle School

8th Grade WEB Leaders have organized a carnival to celebrate our first year of WEB and all 6th Grade Students are invited to attend!  Wednesday May 16th, 2012 is an early dismissal day and the Carnival will run from 12:30-2:20.  Students are responsible for their own transportation home. 

In order to stay after school and participate, a signed permission slip must be returned to the main office no later than Friday May 11th.  If you have questions, please contact our WEB Coordinator, Rebecca Wynkoop.

Current 7th Grade Eckstein Students can now apply to serve as WEB Leaders for the 2012-2013 school year.  Apply Now!  Applications are due in the Main Office by Friday 4/13!

WEB is a peer mentorship program that matches 6^th grade students with trained 8^th grade WEB leaders (at a ratio of 10:2).  The purpose of WEB is to build community, make connections across grade levels and support all our new 6^th grade students while providing leadership opportunities to our 8th grade students.  In addition to 6 WEB lessons, taught in study hall by our WEB Leaders throughout the year, our leaders plan a number of social events throughout the school year that build relationships between leaders and their 6^th grade students. 

For additional information, please contact our WEB Coordinator, Rebecca Wynkoop.

Tuesday, Jan 24, 2012 – Furlough Day, 3-hour Early Dismissal (11:20).  Furlough days are a result of a difficult budget situation at Seattle Public Schools.  Both the District and the SEA, the teachers’ union, agree that furlough days are the best way to minimize the impact to our students and prioritize classroom funding.

Dear Families, Seattle Public Schools will hold classes on Friday, Jan. 27 as a snow make-up day. No school was scheduled for next Friday, the day between semesters, but instead it will be used as a make-up day for one of the three snow days this week, as outlined in the 2011-12 school calendar. A determination on making up the additional snow days, most likely at the end of the school year, will be decided next week. There will still be a three-hour early dismissal on Tuesday, Jan. 24 for a scheduled furlough day for teachers and staff represented by the Seattle Education Association (SEA). That day cannot be used as a snow make-up day.

Thank you, Office of Public Affairs Seattle Public Schools
