‘24-25 Back to School Events
There are so many exciting events coming up that we hope you can join us at as we get ready for going back to school!
Aug 18th @ 9-11am: Playground Cleanup
Join us for a fun-filled morning in August for a Playground Cleanup before the new school year starts.
Bring your enthusiasm, a pair of gloves, and some gardening tools as we work together to spruce up our beloved playground, ensuring a safe and clean environment for all. We will be working with A Cleaner Alki to host a Block Drop in front of the school to clean up the surrounding streets!
We can't wait to see you there!
Aug 24th @ 9-11am: Kinder + New Student Playdates
The Lafayette PTA has organized two Kindergarten and New Student playdates, which will be held at the Lafayette playground. Come by to let the littles play and get to know other new Lafayette families and students! PTA members will also be available to answer questions. We hope you can join us!
Aug 27th @ 10am-6pm: Playground Painting
Help us freshen up the blacktop painting and paint over the graffiti on the murals around the playground. No painting experience required! Just bring yourself and some clothes you’re okay getting a little messy.
Aug 29th @ 4:30-5:30pm : Back to School Teacher Meet and Greet
Your Lafayette teachers and staff will be hosting a Back to School Teacher Meet and Greet on the playground on Thursday August 29th from 4:30-5:30pm to meet before the start of the new school year!
This event will provide an informal setting for students, parents, and guardians to meet their child's teacher, ask questions, and put faces to names. This is a fantastic opportunity for our students to reconnect with old friends and make new ones before the start of the school year.
We look forward to welcoming all our Lafayette families to this exciting event and are eager to kick off the school year on a positive note. See you on the playground!

If you’d like to join the Back to School Team to make these events happen, it is low-commitment and fun! We’d love to have some outgoing Kinder families on the team since it's so fresh for you. We're looking for anyone who can help create a warm and friendly atmosphere for new families.
Together, we can make the start of the school year a memorable and positive experience for everyone involved, especially for our new kindergarten families! If you're interested in being part of the team and helping welcome back our students next school year, please email Tanya Gardiner at tgard206@gmail.com
