Briarwood

World Kindness Day is today, but since we had conferences, we’ll be celebrating it tomorrow, Friday! Wear something that reminds you of kindness

Message from Principal Kleinkopf 11.13.2025

Dear Briarwood Families, 

I absolutely love fall — the crisp air, the colorful leaves, and the feeling of cozy gratitude that seems to surround this time of year. November always reminds me to slow down, take a breath, and appreciate the “power-ups” in life: the people, moments, and little victories that make each day brighter.  

Thank you to all of our families who joined us for Parent-Teacher Conferences! These meetings are such an important checkpoint in our shared game of learning. Just like in any great game, it takes teamwork and strategy to reach the next level — and your partnership helps ensure every student is set up for success. Conferences allow us to celebrate the growth students have already made this fall, identify next “quests” for learning goals, and strengthen the connection between home and school. Your time and engagement mean so much to our teachers, and we’re deeply grateful for the conversations, collaboration, and encouragement you bring to your child’s education. 

Snow (Emergency) Bus Routes for 2025-2026 Available

During inclement weather, or when school is delayed, buses may run on snow (emergency) routes. This means that for safety reasons, our drivers pick up students at different locations than usual. Please log in now to check your student’s snow/emergency route. We recommend that you do not wait until it is a snow day to log in, because you may have difficulties logging in or you may have questions. It's also possible that some snow routes may be incorrect -- please reach out to the Transportation Department if you have a concern. We're asking families to be prepared for inclement weather by viewing your snow routes now.

Superintendent Video Update: Fall Connections, Levies, More

In her November 2025 Community Update video, Superintendent Heather Tow-Yick reflects on a season full of student leadership, community engagement, and forward planning across the Issaquah School District. She shares progress on the Profile of a Graduate, an initiative shaped by input from staff, families, and community members through town halls and school visits. Tow-Yick then summarizes the three renewal levies the School Board approved for the February 2026 ballot.
