Issaquah School District

🤩 Yesterday, we welcomed our kindergartners for their first day of school in the #IssaquahSchoolDistrict! 📚 They’re already settling in— meeting their teachers, learning to put away their belongings and share space on the carpet, and best of all, meeting new friends. 💛 They are embracing these new routines with curiosity and excitement. We can’t wait to help them learn, grow, and thrive throughout their educational journey! 🍎 Our newest students followed in the footsteps of our first through 12th graders, who started school last week, when the halls and classrooms were filled with smiles, a touch of first-day jitters, and so much encouragement. We’re incredibly grateful for our amazing school community! 🌟

🤩 We’re excited to announce that we have once again been named to the Forbes list of “America’s Best Employers by State” for 2024 in the state of Washington. Our district shares the list with employers such as Trader Joe’s, Costco, Google, Apple and Nintendo. We are one of only three school districts in the state to make the list. 📝 The list begins with a survey of more than 160,000 employees working for companies with at least 500 people, nationwide. Survey participants are asked how likely they would be to recommend their employer, on a scale of 0 to 10. Their responses were tallied and incorporated along with data from the past three years. 👉 For the full list or additional details about the methodology: https://lnkd.in/gSGqW7Ei Want to join our team? www.isd411.org/employment

Issaquah teachers are on fire! 🔥 Last week, 110 teachers and school leaders came together for a three-day summer institute called "Ignite." Over the three days, Ignite educators explored Universal Design for Learning (UDL), a K-12 framework to guide teachers in their quest to develop expert learners. The Ignite program builds upon the Digital Learning Experience, which took place over the last two years as we implemented our new technology levy. "Students are coming to me with different needs and ways that they need to be taught. We constantly have to be re-taught new strategies, new ways to teach. So that's why I'm here. And it's been amazing," shared Rebecca Posten, third grade teacher at Newcastle Elementary. These teachers will support professional development at their schools and lead learning workshops and classroom visits to model and share their experiences with colleagues.
