Announcements

As we prepare to close out the school year and head into summer, we’d like to remind you to please ensure your student is fully immunized before the first day of school this fall. Washington State law RCW 28A.210.080 requires all students to be fully immunized in order to attend school.

If your family requires financial assistance with school meals and you would like to apply for free or reduced-price lunches please visit MySchoolApps.com to fill out an online application. If you prefer a paper application, you may print one from the district website on the Lunch programs webpage under Free & Reduced Lunch Program.

Superintendent Heather Tow-Yick, who started work July 1, has been focused on Phase 1 of her First 100 Days Plan. Today marks Day 1 of that plan, and Tow-Yick recorded this message to share with students, families, staff and community members.

Our annual Enrollment Verification Process (EVP) will be open from Aug. 8-14, 2022. The EVP process was previously known as “Back to School Check In” (BTSCI) for middle school families and “Registration School Verification Process” (RSVP) for high school families. 
 

The ISD is seeing community members to volunteer to serve on the Instructional Materials Committee (IMC). Members of the community are typically asked to make a 2-year commitment to serve on the committee. Community members are appointed by the superintendent.

With the passage of our Capital (Technology & Construction) Levy in April, a “one-to-one” device program will go into effect for the 2022-23 school year for students in grades 6 through 12. Beginning this fall, students attending Issaquah School District middle and high schools will check out a school laptop to use at school and at home.

Hot weather is headed our way this week, thanks to the first heat wave of 2022, with a National Weather Service Seattle forecast for an extreme heat warning. Temperatures could reach the high 90s. This poses a high risk for much of the population, especially those who are heat sensitive or without effective cooling and/or adequate hydration.

Have you already taken the City of Sammamish Housing Needs Survey? If not, the city is asking residents and people who work in Sammamish to complete a housing needs survey, which is available online and in print in English, Spanish, Hindi, and simplified Chinese.

The ISD's Transitional Kindergarten program starts this September and our application window will close soon. If your child is not currently enrolled in an early learning program, consider applying for Transitional Kindergarten! The program will provide identified children high-quality early learning experiences to prepare them to succeed in kindergarten the following year and throughout their whole academic journey.

We recognize that many community members enjoy the use of school fields, playgrounds and parking lots. Unfortunately, this summer, we have seen considerable vandalism at several of our schools. As a district we want to keep these facilities open to the community, but we need your help!
