Curriculum night

Dear LWHS parents,

Lake Washington High School’s annual open house/curriculum night is right around the corner! The 2018-19 curriculum night will be held on Wednesday, September 26th from 5:40 to 8:35 pm.

As the evening progresses, you will have the opportunity to follow your student’s daily schedule of classes and visit each of their teachers. The teachers will be introducing their courses and sharing information about themselves, the course content, and expectations for the school year.

Your support and involvement in your student’s education is vitally important to a successful year of learning and engagement at LWHS. I hope you will join us at curriculum night this year. We are looking forward to another outstanding year at Lake Washington High School!
