Coffee chats with Wedgwood Elementary’s principal scheduled
January 11, 2012 by 2 Comments
Wedgwood Elementary School’s principal, Chris Cronas, is holding a series of informal meetings for parents in January and February. The meetings look to be taking place in the neighborhood (vs. at the school) in both mornings and evenings.
Wedgwood Elementary’s PTA president and vice-president will also be attending the chats.
From the Wedgwood Weekly (about page):
Over the next several weeks, I will be hosting a series of informal coffee meetings for parents, the first of which will be on Tuesday, January 17th from 9:00 to 10:00 am. The purpose of these meetings is to give parents a chance to come and ask questions about any issues they are thinking about, and discuss these issues with others in the community. In addition to myself, Katie Traverse and/or John Piccola, our PTA President and Vice President will be there to chat with folks and answer any questions about the PTA.
I want to make it possible for everyone who wants to attend one of these coffees to do so. For that reason, they will be offered at two different times – one in the morning right after the school day begins, and one in the evening off campus.
The morning coffees will be held in the library from 9:00 to 10:00 on the following dates:
Tuesday, January 17th
Thursday, January 26th
Tuesday January 31th
Monday February 6th
The evening coffees will be held off campus from 6:30 to 7:30 pm. The first meeting will be at Café Javasti on 35th, which has graciously offered to stay open late just for us. The location for the remaining meetings will be announced soon. The dates of the meetings are as follows:
Monday, January 23rd, Café Javasti
Thursday February 9th, location TBA
Thursday February 16th, location TBA
If none of these times work for you and you are interested in attending, please let me know. I look forward to meeting with many of you in the following weeks.
Chris Cronas
Principal
While Wedgwood Elementary School itself (2720 NE 85th Street)Â is located in the Wedgwood neighborhood, a chunk of northern Ravenna is within the school’s attendance boundary (which you can see here; 421 KB PDF).

UW Graduation Commencement this Saturday
June 9, 2010 by 2 Comments
Here’s the Too Long; Didn’t Read edition, by yours truly:
From noon to at least 6 pm, STAY AWAY from Husky Stadium.
Here’s the full announcement, from the good people at SDOT:
Saturday, June 12
2010 University of Washington Commencement:
12 p.m. doors open, ceremonies 1:30 – 4:30 p.m.
Husky Stadium
40,000 + expected
Expect heavy congestion with both pedestrians and vehicles near the stadium between noon and 6 p.m. Anticipate heavier traffic than usual on I-5 through the University District and on SR-520.   At approximately 3:30 p.m., Seattle Police will set up traffic controls closing Montlake Boulevard between NE Pacific Street and NE 45th Street to through traffic to help move cars parked in the stadium lots out of the area after the ceremonies. Traffic approaching the closure will be detoured around the area. This restriction, which is similar to traffic routing for Husky football games, will be in effect until approximately 5:30 p.m. Avoid the Montlake Bridge if possible.
Just remember: It’s all good practice for avoiding the area between June 14 and September 12.
