After several design meetings and a community survey on the future of Queen Anne Elementary, the QAE Design Team has come up with the focus for the neighborhood’s newest Option school: Technology. Its motto: “Nourishing a Solid Foundation for a Lifetime of Growth.”
Queen Anne’s Old Hay was renamed Queen Anne Elementary back in January, in preparation for its reopening for the 2010-2011 school year as part of the new district-wide Student Assignment Plan. QAE will spend its first year at the old Lincoln High School, located at 4400 Interlake Ave. N., while the Old Hay building is prepped to house the new Option School in the fall of 2011.
The QAE Design Team is encouraging parents interested in sending their kids to QAE to attend the school’s Open House this Saturday, March 6 from 10 a.m. to noon at Lincoln.
Because QAE is an Option School, it does not have an “attendance area” boundary. Students throughout the city may apply during Seattle Schools’ open enrollment period, which began on Monday, March 1 and continues until the 31st. For more information on the QAE, download the school’s brochure (.pdf) and contact the Design Team.
