Lakewood seeks advice for setting calendars
The Lakewood School District is looking for suggestions for setting school calendars for the next two years.
Parents who didn’t receive a survey from school can go to the district’s Web site at www.lwsd.wednet. edu to print one out and send it to their children’s school.
“We want the survey done prior to negotiations,” said Allen Sharples, a school district spokesman. The calendar is a bargaining issue.
The district is also collecting surveys from district employees.
“The more data, the better,” Sharples said.
The district hopes to have the surveys returned by the end of the month.
Safety measures taken at Monte Cristo
A new walkway has been installed at Monte Cristo Elementary School in Granite Falls from the front of the preschool portable to the front of the school.

Arlington High design wins regional award
When Arlington School District leaders began discussing the design for a new high school several years ago, they wanted to create a commons area with students in mind.
And that’s what they have today, a professional architecture organization has found.
Arlington and its architectural firm, McGranahan Architects, were recently awarded a special citation from the Southwest Washington Chapter of the American Institute of Architects.
The jury making the award was particularly impressed with the commons area and central core of the building.
“It’s proof to us that our community got very high quality at a good value,” said Warren Hopkins, an assistant school district superintendent.
