Announcements

The district's material selection committee for elementary literacy recently selected two elementary reading & writing curricula for field testing. The two finalists are Benchmark Advance and Wit and Wisdom, which will be tried out by some of our teachers and students this winter.

Two in-person workshops will be offered this week to provide one-on-one or small-group support to learn about using Canvas. Staff will also provide an overview of Family Access. These workshops are for families with students in grades 6-12.

The IHS College and Career Center is hosting a districtwide college fair on the evening of Tuesday, October 3. The fair will feature more than 30 universities and colleges from across the country and abroad; a college essay workshop; a presentation about the college admissions process in the library; and more. The fair is open to all Issaquah School District high school students and their families.

Parents and guardians of middle and high school students have access to Canvas as an “Observer.” Canvas is our Learning Management System for students in grades 6-12. In Canvas, the "Observer" role provides parents and guardians an account to monitor their student's progress in their courses as well as support their students' learning at home. 

Are you ready to influence the future of education and career pathways? We're inviting you to become a part of something meaningful – our Career & Technical Education (CTE) Pathway Advisory Committee!

Funding your student's meal account is simple and may be completed online using your debit or credit card at MySchoolBucks.com. If you would like to avoid paying the convenience fee, cash and checks are also accepted at your student's school.  

You're invited to a Canvas Information Night from 6:30-8:30 p.m. on Sept. 20 via Zoom. Canvas is the Issaquah School District's Learning Management System for students in grades 6-12. Through Canvas, students can access coursework, turn in assignments, and connect with their teacher(s) and classmates.

Superintendent Heather Tow-Yick shares a message for students, staff, families and community members at the start of the 2023-24 school year. The captions are in the process of being translated into Spanish, Chinese and Korean, and will be posted to our YouTube channel soon.
