* These classrooms have the same student-teacher ratio as other classes in the Lake Washington School District.
* School starts every day at 9:05 a.m.
* School dismisses at 3:35 p.m. M, T, Th, and F. On Wednesdays, dismissal is at 2:05 p.m. Half-day dismissal (i.e. for conferences) is at 12:05 a.m.
* Explorer Community School parents are responsible for transportation to and from school. Carpooling is encouraged.
* Parent participation is a critical component of our community. This includes an average of two weekly hours derived from direct classroom support, committee work, field trip transportation/chaperoning and attending monthly parent association meetings. If you are unable to volunteer during the school day, other volunteer opportunities are available to you.
