Every summer, we need all ISD families to let us know if their students will be enrolled in our schools for the coming year by completing the Online Verification process. This must be done regardless of whether school starts in-person or remotely. This important process helps us determine how many staff members we’ll need at each of our schools, and it gives you the chance to complete forms needed to start school.
Here’s how to do it: Between Friday, August 7 and Thursday, August 13, please log on to Family Access and complete the process for each of your students. Look for the prompt asking you to complete the Enrollment Verification Process (EVP) for elementary students, Back-to-School Check-In (BTSCI) for middle school students, or Registration Student Verification Process (RSVP) for high school students.
Please note that this year, only the family listed as Family 1 in Skyward will have access to complete this process.
When the school closure last March meant they couldn't go to their school building, a group of Issaquah Middle School students decided to revisit the school digitally. They teamed up to recreate the school in great detail using Minecraft.
You can check out their handiwork with a video tour on the ISD YouTube Channel.

Issaquah School District's bus drivers and other transportation staff have been missing their students since schools closed in March, and they wanted those students to know it! The Transportation Department put together this remarkable video, which features messages of encouragement and photos and covers all 122 bus routes in the district. The routes are listed in numerical order, so you can search through for your bus route to find the message from your route.
