• Last Thursday’s Issaquah Schools Foundation (ISF) luncheon was the most successful ever.  900 people attended and generously donated $215,000 to the Foundation.  That’s up from 700 attendees last year and $165,000 in donations last year.  The excitement and enthusiasm for schools was energizing!  Watch for news from the Foundation of how they plan to put that money to work directly supporting students throughout the District, and thank you!

 

• The Issaquah School Board holds monthly “linkage” meetings on topics of importance for district students, families, and patrons and invites those who attend to join the topic discussions.  This month’s topic is Support for students to earn the State’s Certificate of Academic Achievement and is likely to be of interest to middle and high school students and families.  Discussion begins at 7 pm in the board room of the Administration Service Center this Wednesday, October 26.

 

The board’s discussion will complement Getting to Graduation meetings scheduled this week and next at Pacific Cascade Freshman Campus and each of the three comprehensive high schools.

 

• Middle School Science Nights: Open to middle school parents and students! Come learn about the newly adopted middle school science program and have a fun evening interacting with science materials soon to be in 6^th, 7^th, and 8^th grade classrooms.
