Join us on October 1 from 4-5:30 p.m. as we kick off National Principals Month with our virtual Fall Principals' Forum. Our team kicks off the event and then will welcome State Superintendent Chris Reykdal and his Deputy Superintendent Dr. Michaela Miller. They'll talk about what's happening in education around the state. After that, we'll open up our topic-specific breakout rooms (topics and guest speakers will be posted as soon as they're confirmed). After reconvening briefly, you'll have another opportunity to join one of the breakout rooms you couldn't attend for the first session!
Registration is free! Clock hours will be available.

Attendance is a critical building block for student learning. If students are not present, they cannot engage in learning. Attendance is a powerful signal and leading indicator of equity. It can signal when students might need additional support and areas for system and school improvement. Chronic absenteeism impacts all students—no matter their age. Students that miss just two days a month for any reason are more likely to not read at grade level, and more likely to not graduate.
A school district’s discipline policies and procedures must ensure due process protections for students. Policies should provide a continuum of equitable, culturally responsive, instructional approaches to support students and all members of the school community in meeting behavioral expectations.
Educators, parents, students, and families can find information and resources on this site related to discipline laws, data, and training.
Chapter 392-400 Washington Administrative Code (WAC) Student Discipline Emergency Rules

Requires school districts and school boards to revisit their district policies and procedures so that all staff work cooperatively toward consistent enforcement of proper student behavior throughout each school as well as within each classroom.
