Message from Dr. Breuder:

I hope you had a restful mid-winter break! I took my daughter, Gia, to Southern California to look at colleges this week.  It was a whirlwind of campus visits and tours (seven colleges in four days), but it was great to spend some time with my daughter while also enjoying a little SoCal sun.  My sister and nephew were also on this trip, so it was fun to spend time with them.  We took one day to spend at Universal Studios, where I was reminded just how much my body cannot take some of the rides, especially those with virtual simulation.  It was an overall great trip, albeit a little bit exhausting!  This next part of the school year is busy, so it was really nice to unplug and take a break. 

School tour: The last school tour for Hazel Wolf is Thursday at 9:30am.  Thank you to the PTSA members who are helping give tours to prospective families.  We had two tours earlier in February, both of which were quite full.  (Open Enrollment in SPS closes on Friday, February 28.)

Hazel Wolf K-8 ASB Constitution & Bylaws: Good news! The Hazel Wolf K-8 ASB (Associated Student Body) Constitution and Bylaws were officially approved by the SPS School Board on February 12.  This means we can officially move forward with ASB activities at Hazel Wolf.  This will include, but not limited to, a middle school dance, as well as ASB elections for next year. 

Budget/staffing process for 2025-26 school year: This week we will receive staffing and budget allocations for the 2025-26 school year. These allocations are based on projected enrollment.  Once we receive these allocations, we will go through the process of budgeting both dollars and resources for next year.  We will keep you updated as we go through the different steps of this process. 

Middle School News:

Middle School dance! Please mark your calendars for the Middle School dance on Friday, March 7th.  Stay tuned for details!

Middle School Sports Update:

Also, we are looking for a volunteer assistant coach for volleyball. Please contact Traci at tjmccallick@seattleschools.org if you are interested.

Does your employer have a corporate matching program? Not only are any donations you make to the PTSA 100% tax deductible, but they also qualify for corporate gift matching. This means your employer may match a portion, or the entirety, of your donation – potentially doubling the impact of your gift! Read more on the PTSA website.
