IMS
IMS is looking for both a boys intramural basketball coach and girls intramural soccer coach. If you are interested, or know someone who might be, please reach out to Amy Butson at butsona@issaquah.wednet.edu. Intramural sport is a non-competitive opportunity for students to hone-in on their skills and have fun playing a game they love.
As we continue to navigate these weather disruptions, we want to assure you that we will share updates as soon as we have more information on how the snow days will impact our end-of-year plans and timelines. Stay safe, and we will be in touch soon with more details. Course Registration Process is only a few weeks away. Students will be using Skyward to make their selections for next year’s courses in early March. Please be very thoughtful when making selections for once we create sections for the number of sign ups your child will not be able to switch their choice or mind at the beginning of the school year. Tuesday Feb 11 is a Music Open House for 6th grade families and students if they want their student to come and check out our three music options for next year- Band, Choir, and Orchestra at 6:30pm. Students will get to look and hear about the different music options at Issaquah Middle School. New Incoming 6th Grade Parents will have information sessions on February 26 (Last Names A-K) and February 27 (Last Names L-Z) starting at 6pm in the Main gym.
