Lake Washington School District‘s (LWSD) Discovery Community School (DCS) has added a second parent information night, on Jan. 24 at 6:30 p.m.

Attendance at this meeting or the one that took place on Jan. 10 is required for anyone applying to DCS, a choice school at 12801 84th Ave. N.E. in Kirkland that is open to students from throughout the district, including Redmond.

If more students apply to attend DCS than there are spaces, a lottery will be held to determine who is admitted.

Because of the change in grade configuration, with district elementary schools changing from grades K-6 to grades K-5, DCS will also change its grade range to K-5 next year. Since families interested in DCS may not know about this change, an additional information night has been added to ensure that any families interested will have the opportunity to attend the meeting and subsequently apply to the school.

For more information on DCS or the application process, go to the school’s website or call the school office at (425) 936-2704.
