Skool Time

Well, we have weathered the Seattle Public School process/system/lottery for kindergarten/elementary school selection, and, I’m proud to say, Alex will be attending Alternative Elementary School II @ Decatur (AE2 for short) next year.
Very cool school - teaching principles based on ELOB and project-based learning. I know Alex will thrive in this type of hands-on environment, where his voice will be heard and his leadership skills given a chance to develop. Leah too - next year she’s switching from the PNPC to a Montessori program around the corner from our house, and then on to AE2.

It’s a relief to have gotten our #1 choice, and be done with this process. I never realized how much thought and effort goes into this choice - maybe it was just easier when I was a kid, and just went to the local/closest school…?
