Even though school will start out with remote learning, the Juanita Elementary PTA will be once again working to support our staff, students and families. We have already had meetings with Mrs Stairs to discuss the greatest needs for the start of the school year. We will continue to work together and advocate for our families, no matter what the year brings. We are working on plans to help our families stay connected to each other and the larger Juanita learning community despite our physical distance this fall. We will hold our PTA meetings online and just like previous years, they open to anyone that would like to attend.
If you have any questions about membership or how to sign up, please email [email protected]
August is already here and our minds have started to turn to school starting in September. We know that the start of the 2020-2021 school year will be different than in years past. While things are still in flux, here is what we know so far:
- Remote learning will be the standard for the start of the 2020-2021 year.
- Students will be taught from teachers at their local school.
- The Lake Washington School District is working on finalizing the plan for fall. Weekly updates are posted on the Return to School Task Force page.
- The Juanita Elementary PTA Board Members are in contact with the school administration and are discussing ways we can serve our students and teachers during remote learning and throughout the new school year.
We plan to update this site and our Facebook page as we learn more details about the return to school plans and activities for the remaining of the school year
From the Lake Washington School District:
In collaboration with our School Board of Directors and our Lake Washington Education Association, we have made the decision to close all schools from March 12 through March 27, and re-evaluate any further closures during that time. For more information on this closure, please visit our Coronavirus update page on the district website at www.lwsd.org/covid
The Juanita Elementary PTA will is working the school administrators to continue our support of the teachers and students. We will continue to update our families as we learn more during this time of transition. Be sure to follow our Facebook page for continuing up to date information

The Juanita Elementary PTA is excited to be once again sponsoring this FREE educational session to learn about ways to keep your kids safe online. Stefanie Thomas has experience working with law enforcement in the area of online exploitation of children. Topics include: Cyber Bullying, Social Media use, Online Gaming, Sexting, Cell Phone and general internet safety tips.
This event is open to the larger community. We expect the discussion to center around sensitive topics so this event may not be suitable for younger children.
Stephanie will also be visiting our upper grade students and giving them a similar, age appropriate presentation.
Please email [email protected] if you have any questions!
Don’t forget that our Holiday Bazaar is on December 7th from 10-4pm! Our amazing Choir will be performing at 1:00pm too!

We will send out more details about the skate party when we hand out prizes to the kids in the coming weeks.
