Albertsons, Safeway, and The Issaquah Press all offer programs that provide rebates to IH PTSA.

You can shop online at the http://groups.escrip.com/omlink/escrip_online_mall.gif, where more than 1000 stores support Issaquah High PTSA. If you are registered with eScrip and shop with your registered credit cards, a portion of your purchases through participating retailers will be rebated to IH PTSA.

·      SAT/ACT Readiness
Mock exams are a nice opportunity to take a practice SAT or ACT exam and get score results without having them count. Mock SAT and ACT exams are full length tests including essay sections. Plan now for 2010-2011 mock exams:
Mock SAT – September 11, 2010 and February 5, 2011
Mock ACT – January 29, 2011
A take-home option will be offered for students who have conflicts with the scheduled dates.

The Fall SAT Readiness session will be offered beginning the week of September 20, 2010. The Winter session will begin the week of January 31, 2011. Registration will be online and open in August 2010.

For more information, visit our SAT/ACT Readiness Program webpage.

·      Reflections is a national PTSA program focused on the arts. The theme for 2010-2011 is “Together We Can.”

·      Parent Education:  Many parenting classes are offered in our district and local communities.  A current listing is available on the Issaquah PTSA Council website.

SCHOOL News

·         New School Volunteers Needed! Many hands are needed to prepare for the move into the new facilities later this spring and into the summer. Adults and students welcome! This is a great way to get community service hours and be among the first to roam the halls.
Email Lisa Gaan to sign up to accept NO Obligation emails. As volunteer needs arise, Lisa will send out an email with details on the help that is needed. Your participation is welcome for any or all opportunities!

·         Homework Help:  Issaquah Schools Foundation sponsors after-school Homework Labs at every middle and high school. At I.H.S., these labs  offer teacher-assisted tutoring in math and writing. Students can receive help for classes at all levels, from remedial to AP. Visit the I.H.S. website for more information.

·         Speed cameras are located near the high school. The cameras operate 7:00 am – 4:00 pm on school days monitor both directions of traffic. Vehicles that exceed the school zone's speed limit of 20 mph will be photographed. Before notice of infractions are mailed to the registered owners of speeding vehicles, the Issaquah Police Department reviews and confirms each violation. The infraction is a noncriminal offense that is not part of the violator's driving record.

·         College Resources:  The IHS Counseling Department/Career Center has many resources to help families navigate through the college search, admissions, and selection process. It is a great starting point for parents of sophomores, juniors and seniors.
