Even with COVID-19, volunteers are appreciated and wanted at IMS!

With COVID-19, there will be no volunteers physically at the school at this time. However, our hope is that we can get back to volunteering soon - or may have virtual volunteer opportunities! All volunteers in Issaquah Schools are required to complete the ANNUAL Volunteer Application for 2020-21 school year. Click here for instructions and allow one week to process prior to any volunteer time (note: at this time, the District is NOT processing any volunteer requests. Please check the school and PTSA Enews for updates as we have them).

We have a complete list of volunteer opportunities. Click here to see the list. Once you add your name to any of the events or programs, you will be contacted by the chairperson/s to sign up for specific time slots or to provide certain items. You can remove yourself from any list at any time by going to, My Account.

Programs or events that are currently in need of volunteers for specific time slots or to bring in certain items are always available here on our home page. Questions? Contact Us!

FEELING CREATIVE? CALL FOR ENTRIES…

This year’s National PTA sponsored art competition for writers, composers, dancers, photographers and visual artists is still happening! We want to encourage kids passionate in these areas to submit a fabulous piece of art to represent IMS at the District Reflections contest. Directions and guidelines can be found here.

Let the theme inspire you and the creativity flow! We can't wait to see what IMS students come up with! DEADLINE TO ENTER IS NOV. 6th.

The Angel Program provides funds for IMS students to ensure their basic needs are met. It is a confidential, behind-the-scenes PTSA program made possible by monetary and supply donations from IMS families.

ParentWiser Presents: How to Raise Successful Kids Without Overparenting

Drawing on research, on conversations with educators, admissions officers, and employers and on her own insights as a mother and former student dean at Stanford University, Julie Lythcott-Haims highlights the ways in which overparenting harms children, their stressed-out parents, and society at large. While empathizing with the parental hopes and, especially, fears that lead to overhelping, Julie offers practical strategies that underline the importance of allowing children to make their own mistakes and develop the resilience, resourcefulness, and inner determination necessary for success.
