Happy New Year ILS Families,

It’s a new year and we have lots of new things we are working on, including some fun new plans for Summer Camp.  “Summer” you’re thinking?  Yes, it feels pretty far off but Summer Camp registration in Seattle begins in February!

Summertime Dreaming
In addition to our Summer Camps open to all ages K-5th, this year we are trying something new and planning to run four camps specifically for older kids (ages 9-13).  We mention it now so that you will keep ILS in mind when you begin laying 2019 summer plans.

ILS Camp registration will begin February 1st when all camp details will be available.

Parent Portal
We have rolled out a new section on our website under News & Events for parents. Here you can access upcoming events, important dates, past newsletters, photos, video links and more.

ILS Winter Showcase VIDEO Available
Use the link above to access video on our Parent Portal of our Winter showcases from December.  These videos were filmed and produced by photographer and videographer, Jonathan H. Lee of Subtledream. They turned out really cute and will be fun to share with your extended families.

Via-DOOM (Viaduct Closure starts this Friday)
We are encouraging our families to plan ahead for the 3-week viaduct closure that begins Friday, January 11th.  During this time, traffic is expected to be worse than usual and we want to remind everyone about our late pick-up fees as we are not staffed after 6:00pm nightly. Please be sure your student is picked up no later than 6:00pm from After School Arts.

Thank you for continuing to be a part of our awesome community.  Here’s wishing everyone a great 2019!
