Today we're sharing a reminder that Kindergarten registration for incoming fall 2024 students is open through April 30, 2025. If your child will attend kindergarten with us in the fall, we are asking you to complete registration by the end of this month so that we can plan next year’s kindergarten classrooms and staffing using the most accurate numbers available to us. 

School is closed for Spring Break from April 14-18, 2025. We are excited to see all of our students back at school on Monday, April 21!

"Career Kickstart" is a new, free two-week immersive summer program provided by Issaquah School District through a grant from the Issaquah Schools Foundation that gives incoming high school juniors and seniors direct access to local leading companies in various industries. Throughout the two-week program, students will shadow professionals, observe real work environments and build authentic relationships with industry leaders. Applications are being accepted through April 25.
