Issaquah School District is excited to share a new partnership with Care Solace, a central hub that connects students, staff and their families to care. Care Solace can quickly help find therapists, programs, make appointments, and navigate insurance (even for those with no insurance) matched to the patient’s needs. This is a free and confidential service provided to Issaquah School District students, staff, and family members of students or staff.
Come watch the Newcastle Elementary School perform at the 2nd annual winter music festival for the city of Newcastle!
Because we are heading into a busy holiday period, please remember the attendance office needs to know when your student will be absent.
If your student will miss one or two days of school please email the office at: ncattendance@issaquah.wednet.edu with the following information: student name, teacher, dates of absence and reason for absence.

The safety of all our students and staff is a top priority. Recent events locally and around the world remind me of the importance of creating an environment where all members of our school community engage in learning and care for each other. We are aware that students in our district shared social media posts about student-led walkouts at some of our high schools and middle schools on Nov. 29.

As a reminder, we hope to hear from parents, guardians, staff and students about what "Authentic Engagement" means to you. More than 80% of the people who have participated in the ThoughtExchange so far are students, which we love; however, we would value additional parent, staff and community response as well.
