Calling all Issaquah High, Skyline, Liberty, and PCFC parents: Please tell us whether or not your high school student will ride the school bus next year. The good folks at Transportation would like to know by Friday, May 30. By providing this information, you will help ensure that our bus routes make the most sense for student riders and are created efficiently to save money that can instead be used for classroom programs. Thanks for your help with this first-ever bus ride registration pilot program!

The walls come down this summer, but the century-long legacy will live on forever: Issaquah High School invites everyone—students, alumni, past and present staff, community members, or anyone who has a place in his or her heart for the school—to a "Farewell to the Old School" celebration at 7 p.m. Thursday, May 29 in the main gym.

Our school nurses want you to be aware of a recent Public Health bulletin regarding possible measles exposure at two Issaquah locations. If you have any concerns about measles exposure, please contact your healthcare provider and school. This is a good time to review the guidelines for keeping your student home from school due to illness.

Echo Glen students need you! Please sign up from noon to 1:30 p.m. May 22 and/or 23 to help these at-risk youth paint T-shirts and write friendship messages that will be delivered to Ugandan children by International Smile Power volunteers. The students will also see photos and hear stories about how their gifts made in a similar outreach project last year improved lives in Uganda. All supplies are provided, and volunteers need no artistic skill. Echo Glen Children’s Center is a juvenile detention center with an-site school operated by the Issaquah School District. This outreach program has been life changing for many of the children in previous years because it is an opportunity for them to take the focus of their own personal problems and experience the joy and esteem-building effect of helping others. They feel empowered and realize they can make a valuable contribution to the world. Contact Susan Evans at 425-313-0642 or s-evans@comcast.net to volunteer or get more information.

Issaquah Middle School eighth-graders need you! The school is looking for community members to fill the remaining time slots from May 19 to June 6 as validators who listen to eighth-graders as they reflect on their middle school years. The experience is rewarding for the students and the validators.

Cool School Spotlight: Discovery students are showing off their literacy talent through Writers on the Web. Each month, teachers pick at least eight exemplary writers who get to read and post their work on the school’s website.

Programs services must be provided within the Issaquah School District. The deadline is June 24. For an application or more information, call (425) 869-0238 or e-mail brue2blue@comcast.net.
