Lawton Families,
I hope everyone had an enjoyable short break last week! It was so wonderful to see families attending conferences with our staff last week, and our goal with conferences is open the door to really impactful two-way communication about all of our students over the course of the year. We have 1 week left in the first trimester of this school year, and then teachers will create progress reports in December that you will be able to view on the Source after Dec. 18.

Lawton Families,
This week (11/13-16) our 5th grade students will be going to Islandwood Camp – which is a very exciting and a wonderful experience for Lawton students – but this does mean that there will be no Safety Patrol at 27th and Elmore while they are gone. We’ll do our best to have a staff member at the intersection, but please exercise caution and patience with car drop off, walkers crossing streets, and biking to school this week.
Family Conferences
Please note that the week of 11/20-24 there is no school for Elementary-aged students in Seattle Public Schools. Middle and High school
Direct Drive: “Participate Only” Issue
Dear Lawton Community,
It has recently come to our attention that Participate Only submissions on our Dolphin Dreams Direct Drive site were not recorded due to changes in how schoolauction.net (the 3rd party site we use for Direct Drive) stores data. This does not affect submissions for participants who made a financial contribution. While this does not impact the funds we are collecting, it does impact how we track our participation goal across classrooms.
The Ask
For those of you who selected the Participate Only option on the Dolphin Dreams Direct Drive site, we kindly ask that you complete the survey linked to below. This should just

Lawton Students Speak Up! 🗣️ After rumors circulated in our 4th and 5th grade classrooms that there would be no Halloween celebrations at Lawton this year (since Halloween is on a Saturday), our impassioned students wrote a letter to Ms Clagg, the staff, and our PTA. Ms Clagg’s response: “When I received this letter, I beamed with pride. As a former high school Social Studies teacher, this kind of civic action on the part of 10 and 11 year olds embodies my core values as an educator: to develop thoughtful, well-rounded citizens who engage in productive discourse and positively contribute
