Eckstein Annual Campaign: Raise the Dollars, Lift the Kids!

Picture

Eckstein students may wear costumes to school on Monday, October 31st.

10/26/2022

 
Please use the following guidelines to ensure your student comes to school appropriately attired:
  • No masks or full-face paint are to be worn during the school day.
  • No costumes that depict violence or violent characters.
  • Costumes that promote the use of illegal substances or activities, are derogatory or disrespectful, including cultural appropriation (see below), are not allowed.
  • No big props (Swords, weapons, wands, etc.).
  • School staff may take away any accessory that is used improperly or is considered inappropriate for school.
  • Large, blow-up costumes are not allowed.
  • Be mindful of cultural appropriation. Cultural appropriation is defined as "the act of taking or using things from a culture that is not your own, especially without showing that you understand or respect this culture.“ Cultural appropriation perpetuates inaccurate stereotypes and can create offensive, hostile, and uncomfortable conditions for our diverse communities. We want everyone to feel welcome and safe at our school.

Delay to School Year - Family Resources

9/6/2022

 
As a PTA, we know there is a lot of anxiety and uncertainty in our community about the potential teacher strike, the reasons for it, and issues of child care, school lunch program, and so on.  

For more information on the negotiations between the district (SPS) and teachers union (SEA), you can get updates and explanations from the SEA bargaining team on their website and on the their Facebook page.

The district is also providing bargaining updates and information from their perspective, as well as Family Resources and FAQ page.

Eckstein Middle School PTSA, in alignment with WA State and National PTSA, must remain neutral in this time of negotiations. We will be a resource for information regarding the strike and supports available to our community.

Eckstein Middle School will be a food site from 10 AM - 1 PM during the teachers strike. Please visit https://www.seattleschools.org/news/family-resources-and-faq/?fbclid=IwAR1pyjRGV0bVrxFePul4J6xgBlePVcKwqo5-bvMU0hMHEk4F6Pj8p7ro7jA for more resources for families.
