I-Connect Event: Chinook Middle School 8th Grader Exit Interview

5/19/2024 1:44 pm

Chinook Middle School 8^th Graders
to Give Advice:

I-Connect Evening Event for Families from
Clyde Hill, Enatai, Medina, and Woodridge Elementary whose students will be attending Chinook next year.

Monday, 10 June 2024
6.15pm-7.45pm
Chinook Middle School

If you are curious what it is like being a student at Chinook Middle School, please join the next I-Connect meeting, “Exit Interview: Chinook 8^th Graders Tell All,” where families will have the opportunity to hear from 8^th grade middle school experts who are about to head off to high school.

This will be an evening event on Monday, June 10, 6:15-7.45pm at Chinook Middle School.

As the current class of 8^th graders wraps up their last weeks of middle school and gets ready to head off to high school, we will ask our 8^th grade panel to give us the unvarnished truth.

- How does the school schedule work, and how do I know where to go for each period?

- Is there a lot of homework, and how do I manage my time?

- What is the best way for middle schoolers to make new friends?

- What types of clubs and sports are there to participate in during middle school?

- What resources are there for parents at Chinook?

We will ask these questions and more, and the 8^th graders will answer questions from the audience.

Please RSVP here:

Arrive early as we will begin at 6.15pm sharp. No drop-offs allowed; students must be accompanied by an adult. Parents/guardians and students are welcome and encouraged to attend.

This event is ideal for current 5^th graders starting middle school this fall – but other elementary school families are welcome.

I-Connect is an award-winning program sponsored by Chinook PTSA. For more information:

THE GOODWILL TRUCK IS COMING TO BELLEVUE HIGH SCHOOL ON SATURDAY October 21st.

Bellevue High School Lower Parking Lot
Saturday, October 21st, 9 am – 12pm or when the 2 trucks are full.
Come early!

Help the Bellevue High School Band Boosters raise money by cleaning out your closets and garage. Goodwill is bringing a truck to BHS on Saturday, October 21st to accept donations of used goods. Normally, Goodwill does not pay when you donate your stuff, but they have a special program for schools. The more trucks we can fill, the more money to support the Bellevue High Band (and you'll get a donation tax receipt).

You can bring almost everything (OLD TVs, COMPUTERS, SMALL ELECTRONICS, RIPPED CLOTHING, BROKEN TOYS, etc. - what Goodwill can’t sell to the public, they sell to scrap dealers). Please note that items CANNOT be any bigger than an end table. Additional exclusions at http://www.seattlegoodwill.org/donate/donate-items/donation-guidelines

This is a fundraiser for the Bellevue High Band Boosters
