STEM - Science, Technology, Engineering & Math
Foundation funds purchase
one 3D printer, used it to
build two more 3D printers.
Innovation was in full swing this year as the students at
Woodinville High School and Timbercrest Junior High
School put 3D printers to work creating all sorts of innovative
things.
Thanks to a generous donor, Woodinville High School
received funds to purchase an industrial grade printer which
elevated the course work and level of education for the
students in Computer Aided Design. This real world tool
exposed them to skills that are transferable to hundreds of
in-demand jobs, and they are graduating better prepared to
fill an industry gap.
As part of our innovative classroom grants this year,
Timbercrest students were granted resources to purchase and
build parts and filament to build two 3D printers, using the existing 3D printer at their school. TJH computer
science students will build and maintain 3D printers to explore developments and approaches to 3D printing.
This project will also increase access to printers and provide state of the art industry-level experience for junior
high students.
Investing in Math Olympiad Adds Up
Math Olympiad is an evening math program for 5th and 6th graders, designed
to increase student interest in math and stimulate and challenge young scholars
in mathematical pursuits. This hands-on club builds belonging and increases
student confidence throughout the year. The Math Olympiad program at each
elementary school culminates in a district-wide competition – Northshore
Elementary Math Olympiad, or NEMO - that’s sponsored by the Northshore
5
Schools Foundation. More than 400 students compete in NEMO every year.

Project Lead the Way/
Advanced Bio Med
I’d like to thank Northshore Schools Foundation
Institute for Systems Biology and its many donors for the support it has lent to the
Thanks to the Northshore Schools Foundation grant,
Hollywood Hill was able to implement this STEM
curriculum.
For several months, students have been involved in
our STEM water unit. First we built background on
the science of water by asking questions about the
properties of water and conducting investigations.
Using the district FOSS science kits, students
investigated the properties of water using an inquirybased approach.
Presently, we are in phase two, engineering with water.
That is, we are learning the engineering process and
what we understand about water to creatively engineer
technology that will help solve problems dealing with
polluted water.
Next month, we start the final and most rigorous stage
of our water unit of study. The students will work on
a problem/project-based action investigation. The
students will identify a water issue in our community,
use their persuasive writing skills to seek solutions and
help with their chosen water issue, and ultimately fix
the problem. Solving the problem will require them to
research, write, go outside the classroom and into the
community, interview some experts, and publicize their
work so a wide body of citizens becomes aware of the
issue and their part in solving the problem.
Following the conclusion of our water studies, we will
jump into the three week long Project Lead the Way
engineering unit.
Finally, we end the year with a three phase, STEM unit
of study on energy that will again involve science for
building background, engineering, technology, and a
problem/project based investigation to apply all the
students’ learning.
The children are so engaged and look forward to all
their STEM lessons. As you can tell, STEM is multidisciplinary involving the students’ application of
reading, writing, math, science, engineering, and
technology skills. STEM allows us to teach the
kids to use the 21st century skills of Collaboration,
Communication, Creative Thinking, and Critical
Thinking--the 4C’s.The students have learned to
appreciate that perseverance, determination, and
struggle are a regular part of thinking critically to
problem solve while stretching themselves.
Very sincerely,

creation and ongoing growth of the BioMed program
at Woodinville High School. My son enrolled in
BioMed in his sophomore year at Woodinville in
2011. A young man that describes himself as techy +
collaborative, he was never in love with the concept
of sitting at a computer screen for entire adulthood.
Having the experience of an in-depth biology class -using the various pieces of equipment in the BioMed
classroom -- allowed him to dive into technology in an
entirely different way. It was obvious before the end of
the first semester that he had found his passion.
Thomas participated in the onsite BioMed Exposition
at Woodinville High School in 2012, then enrolled in
the Advanced BioMed class in his senior year (20132014). In this class, he had the opportunity to visit
many biological research institutions in the Seattle area
(including the Gates Foundation) and participate in
the Northwest Association for Biomedical Research’s
BioExpo in 2014.
Through this experience, he was in a great position
to evaluate different undergraduate biology research
programs, and has enrolled in one that is a great fit for
him (and allows him to pursue research as early as his
junior year).
To top it off, at least 25% of his classmates in the
Advanced BioMed class are enrolled in a biologyrelated major at their universities (from nursing to
biology research to bioengineering).
We can’t thank you enough for the doors your support
have opened for him.
Many thanks,

Career &College Readiness
Health Sciences and
Occupations
With the demand for health care service workers on the
rise, the Foundation has been paying close attention to
ensuring our students are prepared to meet that need
with the Health Sciences & Occupations course. This
program serves 40 students and provides them with
the opportunity to earn a Certificate of Proficiency and
a State Nursing Assistant Certification. Over the years
the Foundation has provided thousands of dollars’
worth of support through industry partnerships and
funding support. This year was no exception; thanks to
Evergreen Health, students received additional support
for their Internet technology needs.
Sports Medicine Program
Similarly, the Foundation invested in curriculum
enhancement and equipment refresh for this course
which is based on the National Athletic Trainers’
Association six domains of responsibility/education,
and the Career and Technical Education Therapeutic
and Sports Medicine competencies standards. In the
advanced course, students learn about the psychological
aspects of sports injuries, sports nutrition, and sport
pharmacology, and are required to obtain 60 hours of
athletic training experience and complete a clinical
internship at a local health care facility. In addition,
students participate in the Washington Career &
Technical Sports Medicine state competition. Students
who earn a “B” or better in this course qualify for
college credit through Tech Prep, a dual-enrollment
program that provides high school students with
opportunities to earn college credit in their high school
career and technical education classes without leaving
7
their high school campus.
“I am so thankful Woodinville
High School provided me the
opportunity to be part of the
Health Careers class of 1988. This
program offered real-life, clinical
experiences that are unique to
find for someone of high school
age, and therefore, stimulated
my passion to become a nurse.
My career in nursing has been
incredibly fulfilling. I praise the
Northshore Schools Foundation
for funding the Health Careers
program... directly providing our
youth guidance and excellence for
the future.”

Career &College Readiness
Real world connections make a difference for students
Leota & Timbercrest combined their efforts in support of future Woodinville High School students exploring
potential career paths. This awesome one-of-a-kind pilot program allows 7th graders from both schools to come
together for a Leadership Day, where the focus is social and emotional growth and in building an accepting
community within the high school pathway and beyond. 8th & 9th graders combine for a career day that shares
resources and exposes students to not only their future high school classmates, but to career representatives
from every career cluster as well.
The Foundation was a proud supporter of this inaugural effort and looks forward to seeing where it goes from
here.
Experiential Learning in Contemporary World Issues for
over 100 students at the Secondary Academy for Success.
Dawn McArthur is bringing guest speakers in and
taking students out to the community to make real
world connections to classroom topics.
Highlights include:
• Classroom visits from the McKinstry Human
Resources department and studying job skills (resumes,
applications, and interviews)
• Mock Interviews for 29 students off-site at McKinstry’s
corporate office
• Studying growth mindsets with guest presenters from
World Vision and Lake Burien Presbyterian Church
• Cultural exploration, complete with food, of China,
Vietnam, Norway, and Iran
This variety of experiential learning will help these
students prepare for their future and understand more
clearly how to be a global citizen.
Innovation in the making:
Piloting industry standard software in Woodinville High School robotics program
MATLAB®, used by millions of engineers and researchers around the world, is a high-level language and
interactive environment. It lets one explore and visualize ideas and collaborate across disciplines including
signal and image processing, communications, control systems, and computational finance. It sells for thousands
of dollars, but is available at a discount to educational institutions.
Part of an education is to learn how to teach oneself. The package comes with videos and written tutorials,
examples, and online documentation with a good search capability. The Foundation has funded one pilot, and
once it’s evaluated, we’ll see if it can grow from there.

Career &College Readiness
Composites Engineering &
Manufacturing
The Foundation is actively working to support industry
partnerships that ready graduating students for success in
viable, living wage jobs of the future. In many cases, students
opt to directly enter the workforce, and having relevant
certifications is often the difference between getting the
interview and getting the job. When an anonymous donor
approached us last summer and inquired “How can I help
these kids connect to jobs in industry?”, we knew just what
to tell them.
The District had just started a partnership with Edmonds
Community College, and the Washington Aerospace
Training and Research Center (WATR) is allowing students
in Bothell High School’s Composites Course the opportunity
to earn the Aerospace Manufacturing Core Skills certificate
which will qualify them to continue toward an Aerospace
Manufacturing Specialty Skills training certification.
The WATR Center is demonstrating success in helping
graduating students become employable with an 83% hiring
rate! Of those, 86 percent of graduates are working in
aerospace, and 14 percent are working for non-aerospace
companies.
As for our students, 16 recently attained that certification
and will move on to the next set of courses.
The WATR Center provides flexible hybrid training
opportunities to meet the fast-paced needs of the aerospace
industry. For more information about this training visit:

“Given the high unemployment rate
of recent high school graduates, the
partnership between Northshore and
WATR provides stackable skills education that will help students obtain
livable wage employment directly out
of high school in an industry that will
invest in their continuing education,”
said Raphael Madison, Edmonds CC
WATR marketing manager.

Advanced Learners and Student
Leadership
Investing in our Advanced
Students
Students in the Northshore School District have the opportunity to
participate in college level courses. This option challenges advanced
students beyond a regular high school curriculum and allows them
to enter college with a few credits. Curricula like Running Start,
College in the High School, Advanced Placement and International
Baccalaureate are developed by national and international standards
and, to meet course requirements, require the purchase of updated
textbooks and new equipment. This year the Foundation supported
these students by awarding $1,000 for the Advanced Placement Biology Curriculum at Woodinville High School
to help complete the biology labs now required by the College Board.
We are proud of our investment in Student Leaders
Every year over 100 students participate in the Calling For Kids campaign for the Northshore Schools
Foundation. These students not only learn about the importance of nonprofits in a community, but engage
in service to affect others and learn some real life job training skills as well. Most of these students are
representatives of ASB, Honor Society, Class Officers, DECA and FBLA.
Their participation in the campaign is rewarded by a stipend paid by the Foundation to support their student
organizations. We are proud to be associated with and supporters of our fiercely successful DECA and FBLA
students in their pursuit of excellence in state, regional and national competitions.
Last year the Foundation donated over $5000 in support of those efforts, making travel and competitions more
accessible for students of all economic levels.
Our First Student Scholarship
Winner: Amrutha Gujjar
The Northshore Schools Foundation is proud to announce Amrutha
Gujjar, Woodinville High School, as the first student scholarship winner.
Amrutha was the featured keynote speaker at the 2015 All in for Kids
Luncheon.
Amrutha Gujjar has benefited from the Foundation’s investment in
programs for students at Kokanee Elementary, Leota Junior High
and Woodinville High schools including support for AP Science and
Computer Science courses. She is ranked in the 99th percentile in the
United States as a National Merit Finalist, and she has been invited to
speak both with President Obama as a part of the prestigious ALA Girls
Nation Program and with the TED-Ex program regarding the future of
Computer Science.
Amrutha Gujjar, was one of nine applicants for the Foundation’s first ever scholarship opportunity. “We received
applications representing all four of our high schools and all of the applicants were strong,” said Teri Foose,
Northshore Schools Foundation Board member and Luncheon chair person. “It was such a hard decision; I
wish we could have granted the scholarship to every one of them.”
“Amrutha stood out as an outstanding recipient. Her academic excellence, demonstration of business acumen
with FBLA, commitment to service and her passion behind computer science and innovation make her an
excellent reflection of the quality of students our District is producing.”

Teacher Excellence
Investing in what works: Our Teachers
The Northshore School District has some of the greatest teachers in the nation, and the Foundation is proud to
support them. In 2014/2015 the Foundation invested more than $38,000 in Teacher Excellence by supporting
National Board Certification (NBC) Candidates, National Board Renewal Candidates, New Teacher Professional
Development and sending Physical Education Teachers to the National Shape Conference. Nearly 200 teachers
were supported by the Foundation as they worked to make every effort to be the best instructors they can be.
National Board Certification & New Teacher
Professional Development
NBC is a voluntary assessment program designed to recognize and reward great teachers--making them better.
While state licensing systems establish a baseline of requirements for teachers, NBC teachers have successfully
demonstrated advanced teaching knowledge, skills, and practices. NBC is the only credential process that
compares a teacher’s knowledge and skills with a national set of professional standards.
The New Teacher Professional Development Project provides a systematic support structure for new General
Education teachers, helping them with planning and resources during their first year of teaching. Teachers
receive professional resources to support District curriculum, implementation and classroom management,
ensuring a successful classroom environment for our students. This important work means that teachers get the
support they need to navigate the challenges of being a first year teacher, and that students feel the benefit.

PE Teachers Getting In Shape:
Society of Health and Physical
Education SHAPE – National
Conference in Seattle, WA.
Conferences invigorate, inspire and support
teacher learning but the high costs of
providing sub-time, conference registration,
travel and lodging often inhibit a teacher’s
ability to attend. But this year, the National
S.H.A.P.E. Conference was held right here
in our backyard, making the opportunity
more accessible. The Foundation provided
financial support for sub-time for schools
who requested it insuring that teachers got
the opportunity to participate in this once in a lifetime opportunity. Funds invested in PE teachers impact every
student at every school for years and years to come.
“I am so glad I got the opportunity to attend the National Conference in Seattle! It was a once
in a career chance to see so many professionals in my profession. I was able to take away so
much from the conference and bring it right back to my school.”
- Brigid Arsenault, Sunrise Elementary School
“Thank you very much for all of your support for Physical Educators in Northshore. The
Shape Convention that was held in Seattle this year had fabulous presenters and I brought
back many new ideas to incorporate in my program at Maywood Hills. “
- Linda Hajjar, Maywood Hills Elementary School
“Thanks so much for giving me the opportunity to attend the SHAPE America convention.
There were so many wonderful sessions that have re-energized me for the future. I have used
many of the new games and activities already in my class and am looking forward to using
many more. It also allowed me to connect with other PE professionals, both in our district
and outside. Having students who are physically fit is of paramount importance and I truly
appreciate the support given by the district.”

$14,000 awarded
“I have found that kids often engage
deeply with their book club books,
but are often hesitant to explore new
genres independently beyond their
book club texts. With the sets of new
books we received from the NSF
grant, I was able to get kids excited
about trying on these new genres in
their independent reading with a lot
more selection and choice than we
would have had otherwise. Kids started
making connections between their
independent reading and their book
club books, making their learning more
generalizable and transferable to their
own reading! Now at the start of units,
I have students actually asking where
they can get independent reading
books for the genres we are studying.”
“Midway through the school year,
lots of things can change. We had
a member of our team head back
home to California due to a family
emergency in December, and hired
a new teacher to fill her space. This
new teacher did not have a classroom
library, and the previous teacher had
taken hers with her. We know that
having a robust classroom library is
key to students’ growth as readers. In
order to support our new teammate,
we have done a bit of book sharing.
Having these new books from NSF
has made it easier to do this work sharing books with a colleague for
their library doesn’t have to take as
much away from our book collection.

Literacy
If you can’t read, learning is
even harder.
That’s why the Foundation continues to focus on students
getting the reading resources they need. Two such
programs funded this year include:
Reading Intervention at Shelton View.
Impact: 2500 students.
This program provides students who are reading below
standard with a selection of high quality books that interest
students and meet their reading needs to help bring all
students to reading standard by third grade.
Pilot program of Ereader Tablet Devices at
Northshore Junior High School.
Impact: 2100 students.
This program provides reluctant readers with digital readers
and access to content that stimulates learning and provides
student access to appropriate material while avoiding the
stigma of reading below level which is often revealed by
book covers or size of the book. This pilot program will
allow the assessment of accurate costs, content management
and other issues around e-readers for application to more
students in the future.

Northshore schools sent 232 students to participate in the
National History Day North Puget Sound Regional Competition and earned 30 invitations to the Washington
State History Day competition, May 2, at Green River Community College in Auburn, Wash. Additionally,
Leota Junior High School student Sigrun Payne’s project concerning women’s rights received a Best Project
Award. Students from Sunrise Elementary School; Leota, Northshore and Timbercrest Junior High Schools;
Northshore Networks; and Bothell and Woodinville High Schools presented their historical interpretations and
projects before panels of judges. Foundation funds supported students and teachers with travel funds to regional
competitions making them accessible to all.
Historical Civil Rights Movement Literacy Materials at Arrowhead Elementary School.
Impact: 600 students.
The 6th grade civil rights movement curriculum has been expanded at Arrowhead Elementary School thanks
to educator Julie Sogge who submitted for an innovative classroom grant for her school. This grant provides a
comprehensive selection of fiction and non-fiction books, for all readers, aimed at increasing social thinking
through the exploration of the personal narratives of people from the Civil Rights Movement. Students will
apply the knowledge to current world events in the hopes of preparing them to be leaders in the future.

nearly 25% of the students at Secondary Academy
for Success (SAS) have participated in this incentivebased program which has proven to improve
student academic performance, improve attendance,
increase self-confidence, and create an environment
of creativity and mastery for students.
“Our school does not have a choir. It does
not have an orchestra. It does not have a
jazz band, marching band, or just plain
“band.” We do not receive state or local
funding for any music classes. What we do
have is a room full of donated guitars and
drums, a willing professional collaborator
in Robin Moxey, and some time on Fridays
to... rock.” – Robert Morgan
Students who are on track with their course work
have the opportunity to participate in this music
performance class where Moxey works with students
to learn new instruments, practice songs they know
and enjoy, write their own songs, perform in front of
their peers, and even record in a studio.
In addition to all of this, the music program helps
develop soft skills such as teamwork and confidence,
and engenders an enduring way of expression.
16
The SAS music program is completely funded by
donations. Thanks to dedicated donors who have
been supporting this program since its inception
and new donors who attended the first concert, the
Foundation was able to mobilize more than $3300 to
support this program.

Music, Health & Enrichment
The opportunity of a lifetime, and an opportunity to showcase
the musical talent coming out of the school district, made real thanks to your donation.
In April, the Inglemoor High School Orchestra and Wind Ensemble performed in not one, but two premiere
concert halls: Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center’s Avery Fisher Hall. “Those two halls are considered among the
world’s musicians to be the two premiere concerts halls in the world,” Jim Rice said. “It’s a unique opportunity
to play there. We just thought this would be a really neat opportunity for the kids.” The Foundation was a proud
funding partner making this trip accessible to all.
Northshore Music Partners
Northshore Music Partners is a group of interested parents and
teachers in the Northshore School District. We are a parent-run,
teacher-supported organization. Our motto is that every child in
the Northshore School District should have access to a quality
music education. We believe that providing access to a quality
music education is a fundamental part of basic education, and is
the responsibility of the community and the school district. We are
dedicated to continuing the tradition of providing outstanding music
education to our students.
Our goal in establishing the Northshore Music Partners is to celebrate the accomplishments of our
extraordinary music programs by making them visible to the community. Our music programs are recognized
for their accomplishments by regional, state and national music groups and leaders. By providing information
about enrollment, performances, individual and group awards, and festival participation, we hope to instill in
the community a high regard for our music programs.
17
In 2014, the Northshore Schools Foundation piloted a partnership with Northshore Music Partners to expand
our program delivery in health, music and enrichment. By providing insurance, administrative support and
funding for musical programs, the Foundation extended its services to more than 4000 youth in 2014-15.

Building Character & Learning
Skills with Marimbas,
Keyboards and Cellos
Marimbas connote meaningful expression at
Kokanee
Under the direction of Yuh-Pye Lin, this beginning
ensemble musical instrument purchased by the
Foundation will allow students the opportunity
to perform music and be prepared for junior high
performance opportunities. Playing marimbas engages
students in a meaningful music experience and provide
a means for students to attain the Washington State
music standards.
Keyboards connect sheet music to
instruments at Woodinville
Under the direction of Lindsey Barske, six new 61
key portable keyboards and headphones granted by
the Foundation will provide the additional keyboards
needed to insure every student has the opportunity
to strengthen the connection between reading music
and applying it to playing an instrument. Headphones
allow each student to work independently and at their
own pace, building confidence and competence.
If there was a cool kid in elementary band
at Shelton View, Kenmore, Arrowhead and
Lockwood Elementary Schools he/she might
be playing a cello.
There are currently 18 cellists sharing nine cellos at
school and three students without access to cellos
at home. Under the direction of Karen Kramer, this
grant provides two additional cellos to serve the music
programs at these schools. Over the lifespan of each
instrument this project will fill an essential need for
numerous disadvantaged students, positively build
upon the existing string orchestra program, and
provide a unique opportunity to the many benefits of
musical instrument education for students who would
otherwise have insufficient access.
18
“We have several [Musical]
groups that I think would have the
quality to do this if they chose…
This is the norm across the
district, rather than the exception.
We have really good music
programs in this school district.”
- Ted Christensen,
Director of Music
“[It] seems to fit with what we
wanted to do. It really is about
enhancing what is going to teach
the kids.” – Ted Christensen

Healthy Youth Survey: What we know because we ask
Healthy Youth Survey (HYS) is an anonymous, voluntary survey taken by thousands of public school students
in 6th, 8th, 10th, and 12th grades every two years. The survey covers a variety of topics related to individual and
peer behavior in school and in the community, including alcohol and drug use, nutrition, fitness, mental health,
school-related items and quality of life. The HYS provides a source of valuable information for schools, parents
and communities to address both academic and nonacademic barriers to learning and provides our local and
national partners with data to bring resources to our area and help us understand how to better support our
youth to be academically successful and to develop positive lifelong health habits. The Foundation provides all
the funds to administer this survey. To access the results of the survey visit: http://wwwnew.nsd.org/Page/1100
• 6th grade students report almost no use of tobacco, alcohol and other drugs.
• Cigarette use is at the lowest level since 2002 in 6th and 12th grades, however students report an increased
use of electronic cigarettes/vape pens in all grades since 2012.
• Research shows that parents are the primary influence in their
children’s decision to use tobacco, alcohol and other drugs.
• Students report easier access to alcohol than to tobacco products.
• Alcohol use in teens is at the lowest level since 2002 in all grades.
• Alcohol use by 12th graders is at the lowest level since 2006;
however, it remains slightly higher than the state average.
• Use of prescription narcotics, e.g. OxyContin, Percocet, has not
changed since 2012 at all grade levels.
• Students report an increase of depressive feelings at 8th, 10th and 12th grades.
• Report of bullying in the last 30 days remains the same; nearly a third of students in 6th, 8th grade report bullying
and drops to 15% by 12th grade. Bullying reports by girls is significantly higher than boys in 8th and 10th grades.
• Students continue to report feeling safe in our schools, and statistically higher than state level.
It’s more than just a paintbrush at Shelton View
This year the Foundation funded art supplies for second graders at Shelton View Elementary School. These
supplies provide more than just an opportunity to create art - it builds relationships. Under the direction of
Alison Thurman, students will demonstrate understanding, appreciation and respect for the use of community
art tools and develop competencies and creative skills in problem solving, communication and management
of time as contributing factors to lifelong learning. This program increases students’ artistic perception of
relationships and applications of art which are valuable components in child development.

Struggling Learners
Fueling our students hunger for learning.
Student from Northshore Networks and at Kenmore, Skyview and
Northshore Junior High Schools were able to enter their tutoring
time with a full stomach thanks to healthy food options funded
through the innovative grant process.
Under the direction of Amy Strandy, students enrolled in the
Northshore Networks program received nutritional snacks during
their consulting sessions and cohort classes. By giving these
students access to healthy food options, this grant helps learners
to have the opportunity to be able to excel academically and meet
their highest potential.
At Kenmore, Skyview and Northshore Junior High Schools, Fox
in the Kitchen provided Hang-Time students with a cooking class
which teaches proper food handling, science and team work.
We are a proud partner of the Northshore Community
Schools Partnership
We work in partnership with other community partners to achieve the following goals:
• Families are engaged to support their child’s full potential.
• Students are on track for graduation and building a plan for college and career.
• Students and families have opportunities to pursue their interests.
• Community and school are interconnected.
Your Foundation support has allowed us to provide more than $10,000 in support of
Community Schools this year. Thanks to you Hang-Time, Natural Leaders and Thread
& Treads are all thriving in our district.
The Adult Transition Program (ATP) - Networks endeavors to include & integrate young
adults (ages 18-21) with special needs into the community and assist them with Develop vocational skills leading
to increased independent living. The ATP - Networks is primarily a community based, vocational training
program. Students are placed in unpaid internships with local businesses based on each student’s strengths,
interests, and independent skill level. This series of internships gives young adults a better understanding of their
preference and potential for employment. School staff serve as job coaches.
In 2014-15, the Woodinville Firefighters Benevolent fund took this program under their wing, and provided
them with a full set of Emergency Supplies to insure aides and students are safe in the case of an emergency.
Supporting our Homeless Students
One of the most astonishing facts we deal with every year is that over 150 students are registered as homeless
in our district. For these students, lacking a fixed, dependable and consistent place to sleep at night can greatly
affect their ability to be successful in school.
20
The District is committed to insuring equal access to the same free and appropriate public education as provided
to their permanently housed peers. With the help of funding from the Northshore Schools Foundation,
homeless children and youth will have an opportunity to meet the same challenging state student performance
standards and will have the same opportunity to access education and other classroom services, before and
after school programs, special education, highly capable, vocational programs and tutoring as their peers. The
Foundation invested more than $6,500.00 this year in support of these programs.
