MARK YOUR CALENDARS
Have a wonderful break!
Do you have a child who will be 5 on or before August 31, 2025 and you live within the Newcastle attendance area? If so, please plan to attend our parent-only Kindergarten Information Night which will be held at Newcastle Elementary on Tuesday, March 11th at 6:00 PM. We will share information on what a typical kindergarten year looks like, learn about the process to enroll, as well as hear from our nurse, Jamie Heintz regarding immunization requirements.
If you live in the Newcastle attendance boundary and your child will be 5 years old on or before August 31, 2025, priority registration opens on March 12, 2025. We ask families to complete registration by April 30th to help us plan next year’s classrooms and staffing.
Below are the dates that 3rd, 4th and 5th grade classes will be taking the SBA/WCAS in May and June. Please make every effort to have your student attend school on the days their grade level will be testing. Thank you and please let Claire Trowbridge know if you have any questions or concerns trowbridgec@issaquah.wednet.edu; 425-837-5843
District
We’re excited to announce an extension of the deadline and also opening the application to all grades between kindergarten and 10th grade. From those who apply, 20 lucky students will be selected to participate in the district’s “5,000 Days Project.” Those chosen will receive a film of their lives growing up at every age between the start of the project and graduation.
The Before and After School Care (BASC) program is excited to announce that our Middle School Summer Camp survey received overwhelmingly positive feedback from the ISD community! As a result, we will pilot a camp at Cougar Mountain Middle School this summer.
As a reminder to families, please print any report cards, test scores or other information that you may want to have a copy of while Skyward Family Access is not available from February 11-23. Family Access will be completely unavailable while our district upgrades the student information system from Skyward 2.0 to Skyward “Qmlativ.”
You're invited to join our Family Partnership Team for a Fifth Grade Transition to Middle School Information Night on March 3 from 6:30 pm to 8:30 p.m. via Zoom!
