I was surprised to find out many schools with HCC students are lacking staff and/or parent representation on the HCS Advisory Committee.
From what I can tell there are no staff representatives from:
1. Hamilton
2. Robert Eagle Staff
3. Washington
4. Garfield
Schools lacking a parent representative:
1. Decatur (possibly filled last night)
2. Hamilton
3. Jane Addams
4. Madison
5. Washington (possibly filled)
It's unfortunate there are so many open spots for middle school parent involvement, particularly given the HC high school pathway changes coming down the pike which might be voted on by the school board in a couple hours.
Are there any summer math camps in the Seattle area people would recommend for elementary students? The Eastside has a ton of resources but don't know of too many offerings in Seattle.

We never did any math camps, but you might check with the UW Robinson's center. They have some summer enrichment programs that might focus on math. There is also an organization in Seattle called Math For Love, check with them. I heard about them after my child entered middle school, they might just be for elementary age students. They might have something. https://mathforlove.com/ Good Luck.
