Welcome to the Issaquah Middle School
WalkAbout Program!
What is WalkAbout?
WalkAbout is a PTSA program providing positive adult presence on campus during peak times, primarily before school and during lunches, to help discourage inappropriate behavior, allowing students to feel safe while giving you a great volunteer opportunity impacting your child’s environment and providing a connection to middle school.
WalkAbout volunteers simply walk campus areas at designated times (lunch, before and after school). It’s a longstanding program at IMS with a history of school administration and volunteer support. WalkAbout was started in 2001 and received a Washington State PTSA that same year.
WalkAbout needs lots of parents to keep our program vibrant and effective, and we want you!
How do I get involved?
Greetings PTSA Volunteers,
IMS is very excited to announce our WalkAbout program is live again! Please join us by signing up for shifts covering lunches A, B and C.
This is a fun opportunity to see the kids and provide support if needed. A friendly “Hello” goes a long way.

Mission Statement/Purpose: To provide a positive and safe learning environment for students by having trained parent volunteers at school during high traffic times (before/after school and lunchtimes) moving through the campus in pairs to discourage inappropriate behaviors and act as a positive adult presence.
The WalkAbout program coincides with the Issaquah School District "Safe and Positive Environment" policy.
