Viewlands School Community Meeting March 3rd
Hello, Viewlands community members –
Plans for re-opening Viewlands Elementary School this fall are underway! I have the great job of facilitating community members who are interested in contributing to the re-opening process over the next few months. As a first step, I would like to meet with you all to explain high-level details of the re-opening process, the role of the Viewlands Design Team, and how interested parties can apply to be a part of the Design Team. I would also like to collect a list of the characteristics you hope to see in Viewlands’ future school principal.
To that end, I will host an open community meeting to talk through these things and answer questions you may have on Thursday, March 3, from 6 – 7 pm, at the Broadview-Thomson K-8 school library (on the first floor).
I look forward to meeting you all and working alongside you over the coming months. Please don’t hesitate to email me if you have questions. If you would like materials because you cannot attend this meeting on March 3rd, or have new members to add to our contact list, please contact Maria Gonzales-Millsap at mpgonzales@seattleschools.org.

This is a great time to get involved with Viewlands School. I would like to see a better play area at Viewlands School. It could be a great place for kids to play after school/weekends as well as a fun hang-out for parents. The only park we have is Carkeek which isn’t easy to access without a car.
Could SDOT repair the sidewalk on the west side of 3rd Northwest that leads to Viewlands? When it rains the path is underwater and filled with mud. If you live within a mile of school the school district now suggests walking to school. We should have safe walking routes to schools.
Will-At the March 3rd meeting, parents and teachers spoke-up with concerns on sidewalks and crossing busy 3rd Ave. It was a great meeting.
If you have any questions or concerns please come to the meeting.
