The school was just informed today that the after school busses for OST will not be starting until Monday, October 6^th.  However, we will have OST classes next week but there will be no transportation provided, there will be Metro bus tokens available.  We apologize for the inconvenience.

Curriculum Night is for parents and guardians only.  This is a wonderful chance to meet the team of teachers working with your student.  This is not a time for individual conferencing.  Please report to the Auditorium at 7:00p.m. and you will be dismissed to classes from there.

Enjoy your evening!

The Washington State Healthy Youth Survey is given to students in grades 6, 8, 10, and 12 every two years.  The data collected from this survey helps Eckstein and other schools to apply for state grants, such as the one that funds our underage drinking prevention efforts, and to plan health-related programs in our communities.

Eckstein will administer the survey to 6th and 8th grade students on Monday, October 13.  More information is available from the hys-parent-notice.

Contact Inga Manskopf at 252-5010 or inmanskopf@seattleschools.org if you would like more information.
