The Clearwater School

The post reads: "THURSDAY, MAY 21ST, PARENT GATHERING @ THE CLEARWATER SCHOOL, 4-6pm"

In response to interest expressed at a recent meeting to approve our new organizational bylaws, here is our next scheduled parent event! Drop-in on Thursday, May 21st at pick-up time to spend quality time with other Clearwater parents. This event is hopefully the first of many; it's up to you to show up and make it happen!

Students are welcome to stay at school during the event if accompanied by a parent or guardian. Guardians are responsible for their students during the event.

Accessibility Information:

This event will be held in the common room, which is a short walk from the parking lot with a ramp entrance, with a single-occupant restroom in the same building.

Two other bathrooms, accessible from outdoors, will be open.

Seating includes couches, wooden chairs, rolling office chairs, floor cushions and bean bags.

Air filters will be on and windows will be cracked so dress in layers to stay comfortable.

See you soon!

There are so many radical, cool schools out there that families may not know about, let’s get the word out!

Clearwater has been collaborating with other small schools (less than 100 students) in the greater Seattle area to bring you this school fair on Saturday, April 25th from 10am-12pm!

From pre-school through high school and beyond, from one-on-one instruction to self-directed education to ADHD, ASD, 2E, and Dyslexia supports, we’re hoping to help families find the right fit. Even if you have already found your fit here at Clearwater, it would mean a lot if you shared this event we’ve been working hard on.

Get ready for an evening of whimsy, wishing, performance, and luck... because you’re invited to WISHBONE, our upcoming concert and student showcase!

WISHBONE is on Saturday, March 28th. The show starts at 6:00pm, and seating and doors will open at 5:30pm. There will also be an optional potluck at 4:30 in the kitchen.

The concert is open to the public, but there will be limited, first-come-first-served seating. RSVP by emailing [email protected].

“Tickets” are $10-$20 suggested donation and NOTAFLOF (no one turned away for lack of funds). Bring cash to throw in our wishing well! We also take PayPal.

Accessibility info:
The concert will be held in the common room, which is a short walk from the parking lot with a ramp entrance, with a single-occupant restroom in the same building. Two other bathrooms, accessible from outdoors, will be open.

We have enough seating in plastic and wooden chairs for about 50 people and limited standing space in the back of the room.

Air filters will be on and windows will be cracked so dress in layers to stay comfortable.

The concert will last until 7 or 7:30pm.

Lights will be low during the performances. Expect slow- to medium-moving projected visuals and amplified audio coming from speakers at the front of the room.

Please reach out with any further accessibility requests, such as reserved seating or cushions for chairs.

Reminder that we have no school next week for mid-winter break! But we will still be hosting art drop in on Monday and the food distribution on both Saturdays.
