Daily, we are striving to create a sense of urgency focused on learning. The students at Aki Kurose have worked hard this year and we are confident that they will do well on the upcoming state tests. Thank you very much for everything you have done to support the education of your child and our school this year. We appreciate all your efforts in letting your student know how important their education is to their future. The #1 benefit of taking this test is for students to demonstrate their personal best and to show their continuous growth. The test results are very important for our individual students and for our entire school.

On March 20, our 8th grade met with Congressman Adam Smith. Students asked questions about climate change, the second amendment, police accountability, and making college more affordable.

It's the time of year when we start getting information about many different kinds of summer opportunities for students who will be transitioning from 8th grade to 9th grade. These include jobs, high-school based programs, volunteer opportunities and more. We will post information links on our website

8th grade students and families, High school preparation starts now! Students are assigned a high school based on the student’s home address. Use the address lookup tool at seattleschools.org to find the attendance area high school for your address. Students may apply to attend a different high school during open enrollment; it is not guaranteed to get assigned to the school of their choice.

Dear Aki families, Thank you for the great turn-out at Student-led conferences! All evening family engagement events are great opportunities to learn what your student is doing, connect to teachers and staff, and give the school input.

Dear Aki families, Thank you for returning our Family Needs Assessment forms. These give us important insight into the needs, strengths and interests of our school community. Please turn in a form if you haven’t yet. We have already started to meet the resource needs of many families. We will also use the information to plan activities this year: A significant number of our families want to learn how to use the Source and are interested in High School transition information, and college preparation, and we will plan activities in response. We will work with parent leaders to plan these, as well as family meetings for cultural groups at Aki.
