As a part of Superintendent Maria L. Goodloe-Johnson’s engagement plan for the school year (Listening, Learning, and Responding), Seattle Public School families are invited to “Welcome Back” Regional Meetings being held throughout the city this month.

The meeting for Northeast Seattle families is being held on Monday, September 20 from 6:30-8pm at Eckstein Middle School (3003 NE 75th St).

In addition to Superintendent Goodloe-Johnson, Chief Academic Officer Dr. Susan Enfield will be in attendance.  The Executive Director for Schools in our region (Phil Brockman, former principal of Ballard High School, for the Northeast) and representatives of schools in the region fill out the roll sheet.

This regional structure is new to the school district this year and will be the subject of a brief presentation by the leadership team at the meeting. “The majority of the meeting will be devoted to informal interactions between families and district and school leaders,” says the news release from Monday, September 13.

Light refreshments will be served, and there will be books and drawing supplies (but no childcare) for the kiddies. Interpretive services at the Northeast meeting include Somali and Spanish.
