The time has come to say goodbye to the present building at John Rogers Elementary School, 4030 NE 109th Street in Seattle.

In the summer of 2023 the present school building will be demolished.  Over the next two years, construction of a replacement building will be done on the same site.

The “farewell to the building” on June 6, 2023, was a successful event with many alumni returning for a final walk-through at the present building.  I will continue to post news of the rebuilding of the school over the next two years.  In the meantime, the school community will continue in a temporary site 2023-2025 and will return to a new John Rogers building in September 2025.  In the interim, consideration is being given to changing the name of the school.  I’ll update this as the process becomes clearer.
