🗣️ What issues matter most to our NMS community?

The WSPTA Legislative Assembly is October 16–17, bringing PTA members from across Washington together to discuss proposed legislative issues and resolutions and help shape WSPTA’s advocacy priorities.

This year, WSPTA has proposed eight legislative issues and two resolutions for delegates to consider. The five legislative issues ultimately selected as WSPTA’s top priorities will become the organization’s primary advocacy focus for the next two years.

We’d love to hear from NMS families! Take a few minutes to review the proposals and share what you think should be prioritized. The survey includes a link to WSPTA’s Voters’ Guide with background information on each proposal.

👉 Take the NMS PTSA Legislative Assembly Survey: https://forms.gle/cfPfkAVU8nrBpRP79

Your feedback will help inform the NMS PTSA delegate ahead of Legislative Assembly.

What topics or questions do you wish you had a space to unpack?

At our PTSA general meeting last week we had school board president Sandy Hayes give a legislative update that included possible impacts of fewer kids and declining enrollment... Big changes expected to impact our NMS feeder schools, stay in the loop by attending the next meeting!

The next Conversations with the Board will take place on Thursday, Oct. 8 at 6 p.m. at Cottage Lake Elementary.

You are invited to join our School Board Directors to learn more about the district’s enrollment work and future boundary changes. You will have the opportunity to provide feedback on draft principles that will guide their decisions as they consider recommendations from the Enrollment Demographics Advisory Committee (EDAC).

Have 5 minutes? National PTA wants to hear from families.

National PTA is developing its public policy priorities for the 2027–2029 Congress and is asking families across the country to share which issues matter most to them, their schools and their communities.

The survey covers a range of issues affecting children and families and is a direct opportunity to let National PTA know what you think should be priorities for its advocacy work.

You do not need to be a PTA member to participate, and the survey really does take about 5 minutes.

The survey is open through October 1 at 5 PM ET:
