Caitlin Peterson Chosen for Washington World Fellows Cohort

Caitlin Peterson, a sophomore at Gibson Ek High School, has been selected to take part in the 2021 Washington World Fellows Cohort. Congratulations, Caitlin!

The Washington World Fellowship is an equity-based program that combines study abroad and college readiness training to prepare students to become leaders in their communities. This summer, if it is safe to do so, the fellows will study abroad for six weeks at the University of León in Spain, where they will earn college credit and live with local families. Upon their return, they will participate in two years of leadership programming, which includes SAT/ACT preparation, college application support, and unique opportunities to engage with the State Legislature.

This will be the fourth cohort to participate in the state’s global leadership program, which Lt. Governor Cyrus Habib launched through a partnership with the Washington State Leadership Board in 2017.

Update on Middle School 6, Opening Fall 2021
There's a lot happening at the site of our 6th middle school! Erin McKee, who will be the school’s first principal when it opens in the fall of 2021, visited the site recently to see how the construction is going and share an update. Middle School 6 is next to the Timber Ridge at Talus Senior Living Community. The 130,000 square-foot building will serve 850 ISD students. Opening this new school (as well as our new elementary school now also under construction) will help the us keep up with growth and provide more space for students at our other schools. This new school is possible because of a voter-approved bond that was passed in 2016. Thank you, voters!
 
Opening new schools means we need to create new school boundaries to ensure each school has the right number of students. Each school’s boundaries determine which students attend that school, based on their home address. A committee made up of administrators and parents from each of our elementary and middle schools is hard at work creating a plan to determine what each school’s new boundaries will be. You can learn about the committee’s work, including how to watch their meetings and how to share your thoughts on the boundaries, at https://www.issaquah.wednet.edu/schools/boundary-committee-2021. Learn more about Middle School 6 and our other construction projects at https://www.issaquah.wednet.edu/district/departments/CapProjects.

Video: New Elementary School Update

Big things are happening at the site of our 16th elementary school! Tera Coyle, who will be the school’s first principal when it opens in the fall of 2021, visited the site recently to see how the construction is going and share an update. Elementary 16 is near the intersection of Issaquah-Pine Lake Road and Klahanie Boulevard. It will have 26 classrooms and be the home school for up to 650 ISD students. Opening this new school (as well as our new middle school now also under construction) will help the us keep up with growth and provide more space for students at our other schools. This new school is possible because of a voter-approved bond that was passed in 2016. Thank you, voters!

Opening new schools means we need to create new school boundaries to ensure each school has the right number of students. Each school’s boundaries determine which students attend that school, based on their home address. A committee made up of administrators and parents from each of our elementary and middle schools is hard at work creating a plan to determine what each school’s new boundaries will be. Visit the Boundary Review Committee page to learn more about their work.

ISD Students Celebrate Diwali by Fighting Hunger in the Community

A group of ISD students and their families didn’t let a pandemic stop them from participating in an annual tradition of helping others this year. They took part in Sewa Diwali, a national food drive that takes place around the time of Diwali, the festival of lights celebrated each year by Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and some Buddhists. The Hindi word “Sewa” means “service.”

The students helped gather 750 pounds of donated non-perishable food and other household supplies from November 1-20. It was then delivered to an organization that serves people experiencing homelessness on the Eastside, and a final batch of donations will go this week to the Issaquah Food and Clothing Bank. The ISD students who took part this year are:

Sunny Hills Elementary:

  • Aarnav Sripal Kola
  • Akshay Pothi Reddy
  • Havish Ram Kesani

Beaver Lake Middle School:

  • HariShankar Placada
  • Eashwar Gopinath

Pine Lake Middle School:

  • Pranav Sripal Kola

Skyline High School:

  • Himadar Pothi Reddy

On-Campus Pumpkin Patch Gives ACT Students a Taste of Fall

Our Academy for Community Transition (ACT) program has a longstanding tradition of getting students into the Issaquah-area community for seasonal activities, including an annual fall visit to a pumpkin patch. This year, pandemic-related restrictions meant leaving campus wasn’t an option, so ACT staff decided to bring a pumpkin patch to campus instead! On October 29, they set up a socially distanced pumpkin patch in the field outside ACT’s buildings. It had a pumpkin for each student, hay bales and cornstalks (generously donated by The Grange), and other autumnal decorations. After choosing and “picking” their pumpkins, posing for pictures, and spending some pleasant time in the crisp fall air, the students went back inside to paint their pumpkins.

ACT is one of the ISD special programs that has resumed in-person learning in a hybrid model. ACT serves young adult students and focuses on the development of independent living skills, social skills, vocational skills and other important life skills to increase self-reliance and confidence.

See more photos from the event at the ISD Facebook Page.
