    TOPS is an SPS option school open to families across Seattle — home to a vibrant, inclusive community and the district’s Deaf and Hard of Hearing program.

  • Allies in Deafhood Training

    The Museum of Deaf History, Arts & Culture is hosting an Allies for Deafhood training for the TOPS community the first week in December.

    The training is three hours long and divided into two 90-minute sessions.

    Both sessions are required:
    1. Saturday, Dec 6: 9:30AM-11:00AM

    2. Sunday, Dec 7: 9:30AM-11:00AM

    The training is free to all attendees from the TOPS community (teachers, admin, parents, students) and is paid for by Friends of TOPS.

    It is primarily geared towards hearing folks who are interested in growing their allyship of the DHH community- there is no prior knowledge or experience needed. You can register here.
