Our first of two Panel Exhibitions of Student Learning will be January 14-24. Advisors will reach out to families to schedule a time. We invite you to join staff, peers and mentors on your student's exhibition panel because families are essential in providing students with celebrations of learning, feedback on next steps and input to ensure students set high expectations for themselves. We look forward to seeing you next month!

It is important that students arrive to morning Advisory on time (8:50 Mondays and Fridays and 8:00 Wednesdays). To avoid traffic delays, we recommend all students arrive or are dropped off at least ten minutes before school starts. If you are looking for strategies to support your student in getting to school on time, please reach out to your student's advisor, counselor Shawn Mulanix (mulanixs@issaquah.wednet.edu) or principal Tonja Reischl (reischlt@issaquah.wednet.edu).
