In past years, the Lake Washington School District sent out a printed wall calendar in early August to all parents, for use in keeping track of important school dates.

Due to budget cuts, the district did not print a calendar this year. However, the one-month pages of the calendar are available on the district Web site. www.lwsd.org, for parents to print out.

From the home page, click on School Calendar at the top of the page. Look for 2009-2010 Page Per Month Wall Calendar and choose either color or black and white; then print out the pages on your home printer.

Parents who are electronically inclined can use the Tandem Online Calendar, which is also reached from that same page. By subscribing to the Tandem Calendar, parents can set up filters so that events from one or more school plus important district dates appear whenever they log in. Events can be downloaded into many electronic calendar systems, such as Outlook, Cozi, iCal, Google Calendar, Yahoo Calendar and more.
