Community Update: September 2026

Welcome to the 2026-27 school year! ⭐ In this Community Update, Issaquah School District Superintendent Heather Tow-Yick welcomes families back and outlines what to expect across the district's 29 learning sites as we serve over 18,500 students. She expresses gratitude for the community's support of the three February renewal levies, noting that preparations for critical repairs are underway before revenue collection begins in 2027. While acknowledging challenges like rising costs and shifting enrollment trends—including elementary declines and overcrowding at our three comprehensive high schools—Tow-Yick highlights exciting solutions on the horizon. These include the launch of a new high school designed to alleviate overcrowding and offer real-world, career-connected learning in fields like robotics, engineering, entrepreneurship, and health sciences. Grounded in the district's strategic plan, she concludes by emphasizing the importance of student belonging, well-being, and a research-backed sense of hope to help students build resilience and achieve lifelong success.
