Gibson Ek
We have been made aware of social media posts about a potential “Walkout for Palestine” on Tuesday, April 23. Safety is our top priority. Our administrators, staff, students, families and community members will continue to work together to ensure all students feel safe, included, and welcome in our school community. Thank you for helping us create and protect that safety, well-being and sense of belonging for our students.
In accordance with Washington state law, seniors will soon begin the FLASH sexual health curriculum. FLASH is a medically accurate, age-appropriate comprehensive sexual health education curriculum. The goals of the curriculum are to prevent teen pregnancy, STDs and sexual violence, and to increase family communication about sexual health related topics such as dating, sex and abstinence.If you would prefer your child not receive some or all of this instruction, please email principal Tonja Reischl (reischlt@issaquah.wednet.edu).
Get your school spirit on AND support Gibson Ek Robotics at the same time!

The store is open now through May 6. Click the link to order t-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts and more for your student or entire family!
Families of seniors: be sure to bookmark the Seniors page on the Gibson Ek website. This page includes important dates and deadlines as we get closer to the end of the year. All seniors are in a grade level Crash Lab this spring. This means every Monday and Friday they are getting end-of-year information and support getting to the finish. Please reach out to your student's advisor if you have any questions.
Spring Break is from April 8-12. There is no school for students or staff. We look forward to seeing you back at school on Monday, April 15.
District
On April 16, the Bond Advisory Committee had its seventh meeting, and spent time discussing three possible scenarios as a starting point for a potential bond package in November. District administrators also gathered committee members’ feedback about what projects they think should be included in or excluded from the possible bond package.
On April 18, 2024, the Instructional Materials Committee recommended the following curriculum materials to the ISD School Board for approval at the May 9, 2024 board meeting: 6th Grade FLASH Curriculum Updates and Middle School Math Curriculum (envision Mathematics Common Core). Materials will be on public display at the ISD administration building lobby from April 19-April 26.
As one of the options for middle school students to personalize math learning, "Pathway D" provides an acceleration option for students who are ready to skip sixth grade math, seventh grade math, and most of eighth grade math, beginning middle school in the course referred to as "CC 8/Algebra 1." Students must demonstrate mastery of eighth grade math skills on a district-administered assessment.
The Issaquah School District’s Food Service department strives to ensure the safest possible environment for all students. Some students in our district have a variety of life-threatening food allergies. We offer tools to help students and parents review ingredients in our menu items.
The Cultural and Family Partnerships Team invites new families in the ISD, especially ones new to the U.S. school system, to “Family Connections Question and Answer Sessions” on Wednesday, April 24. A morning and an evening session will be offered. Each session is an opportunity to meet the Family Partnership staff and learn to navigate our schools.
