Announcements

The Washington State Department of Health (DOH) will continue to provide free COVID-19 home test kits to residents at least through the end of 2022. Residents can order up to 10 free at-home test kits per month through the “Say Yes! COVID Test” program. The kits are delivered to the requester’s home or work address, free of charge.

This is a friendly reminder that there is no school for students or staff on Thursday, Nov. 24 and Friday, Nov. 25 for the Thanksgiving holiday break. School will resume on Monday, Nov. 28. We hope all of our families have a wonderful, safe weekend!

We would love to know your thoughts about the district’s next new high school. Have you participated in the four ThoughtExchanges we are running about the project? If yes, thank you – and please revisit the exchanges to rate others’ thoughts. If not, please consider taking part before the conversations close on Nov. 30.

Parent partnership and family engagement is a crucial component of the Title/LAP program. If your student is served through Title or LAP services and you would like to participate in the Title/LAP Parent Advisory Committee, please contact Michelle Pickard, Director of Teaching and Learning Elementary, at pickardm@issaquah.wednet.edu.

This year the district rolled out “1-to-1” for middle and high school students as part of the Capital (Technology) Levy to provide a more consistent Digital Learning Experience (DLE) for our students. It is important that we check in with our middle and high school families to see how it is going so far.
