WALKABOUT TRAINING
Thurs, Sept 27 from 7:00-8:30pm
Issaquah Middle School hosts an amazing program called Walkabout.  Its purpose is to bring parents into the school to walk the halls among the students in the mornings right before classes start, during lunches, and after school as the kids are getting ready to leave.  It’s easy, brief, flexible, and one of few opportunities middle school parents have to be around the kids, and allows IMS to have a positive adult presence at busy times during the school day.  Once you receive training, you can choose to participate at whatever level suits you….once a year, every day, or anywhere in between.  If you’re interested, please save the date for training:  Thursday, Sept. 27 from 7:00-8:30pm.
