If your family ever needs assistance, please reach out to your child’s teacher or our school counselor, Ms. Blume (deblume@seattleschools.org). Both are wonderful resources who can help connect families with support.

FindHelp.org and The West Seattle Food Bank are also great resources.

We want to send a big Lafayette Leopard THANK YOU to everyone who supported our Move-A-Thon, whether that be through donating, soliciting donations, or volunteering.

We met and exceeded our goal - our Lafayette Leopards raised $89,720 and have fully funded our school's tutoring program for the year.

Here are the final results:

⚡️✨Kindergarten 75%⚡️✨
1st Grade 61%
2nd Grade 51%
3rd Grade 38%
4th Grade 37%
5th Grade 33%

PTA Membership is always open - just click here.

For the first time in YEARS, the district is actually listening and willing to engage in community feedback about advanced/highly capable learning for students in our district, so now is a REALLY important time for our Lafayette community to get involved, especially since half of our school's population qualifies for these services.

Friends of Hicap Seattle will be hosting an informational session on Friday, Sept 26th from 12pm-1pm: Upcoming Events – Friends of HiCap Seattle

Upcoming SPS HC Engagement Sessions for West/South Regions :
