Schools keeping some kindergarten classes AND sending some to Pathfinder:

If your kindergarten student would typically attend one of the following schools, and your address is chosen to attend Pathfinder Kindergarten Center for the 2024-25 school year, you will be notified in June 2024.  

• Challenger

The vaccines required for school attendance are established by the State of Washington. New students must be current in immunizations to attend school. According to state law, students who are out of compliance with immunization requirements must be excluded from school until those conditions are met. Learn more about the state’s immunization requirements on the district immunizations website.

For more information about kindergarten classes, please contact the elementary school in your neighborhood or call the school district’s Elementary Education office at 425-356-1209.
