The Seattle Public Schools’ School and Community Partnership department, which is committed to building the capacity of community based organizations partnership with schools, has launched a Professional Development calendar for Education Partners.

First graders in Christine Patrick’s class at Bailey-Gatzert Elementary School study isopods – the ones known as potato bugs.

Events on the calendar are designed for community-based organization staff and volunteers, and other partners to help them align their work and authentically partner with Seattle Public Schools.

Please visit for more information, a detailed calendar and registration.
