Message from the PTSA Board following Dr. Moncada's email that he's leaving the school at the end of the year
The parent support at ICS is very strong and the PTSA is integral to the ICS community. We are collaborating very closely with the principal, faculty and staff in making a positive learning environment for the students.
The PTSA will make every effort to keep the parent community informed about the hiring process.
We are also looking into ways that we as a PTSA can participate in the hiring process.
We have reached out to the Director of School Support for Juanita Learning Community, which ICS belongs to, to have him attend one of our upcoming parent meetings to provide more information.

YOU ARE INVITED! Annual Fund Raising Luncheon for LWSF
Please join Dr. Moncada, the Koduri's and Glen Campbell, at the ICS Table for Lake Washington School Foundations annual fundraising Luncheon. The 2017 LWSF Spring for Learning Luncheon will be held on
Tuesday, March 28, 2017 at the Marriott Redmond Town Center.
- 11:30 AM-12:00 PM Check-in & Networking
- 12:00 PM-1:00 PM Luncheon & Program
We have an ICS table at the luncheon and looking for more persons to join us! You can register at the ICS table OR RSVP
online.
For those of you who attended in the past, welcome back, especially Sunil & Shalini Koduri who are attending for the 6th year! For those considering coming for the first time, you are in for quite a treat and a very moving experience to walk into a huge room filled with hundreds of people eager to support academic excellence and success for all students in the Lake Washington School District.
The ICS community has benefited from LWSF for several years with over $17,000 in grants. The ICS table and our contributions are a tangible way to support ICS and fellow Lake Washington Schools.
LWSF's annual Luncheon brings together members, friends and the public at-large for an inspirational morning. It will be an exciting program and I look forward to raising funds for LWSF's programs.
Luncheon and parking are complimentary. The Luncheon is a benefit, so please bring your checkbook and a giving spirit. We ask you to consider $150 as the benchmark of your generosity but any contribution is gladly appreciated.
Not able to attend? Not a problem! You can still support the cause with a Virtual Attendee gift made online at
here.
Questions/comments, please contact
Glen Campbell or his cell at 206-849-7418.

Field Trip Drivers Needed - 3/20 and 3/21
Due to the late start snow-day earlier this month, the eighth-grade field trip to the Brightwater Treatment plant in Woodinville had to be rescheduled. Because of this change, no district buses are available and we are in need of parents to drive the students to/from the location. We have ~40 kids to transport each day!
When: Monday, March 20 and Tuesday, March 21
Time:
- 8:15 am (meet at ICS)
- 8:30am-9:00 am travel to Brightwater Treatment plant at: 22505 State Route 9 SE, Woodinville, WA 98072
- 11:00 am-11:30 am drive back to ICS
Parents are welcome to stay for the tours/chaperoning, but it is not required. You may drop off and then come back by
10:45am to pick us up to bring back to ICS. You will receive three hours credit for chaperoning this event either way due to the distance. If you do stay for the tour, closed-toe shoes are required.
If you are interested in volunteering, please email the following information to
Ms. Vasilauskas, as soon as possible. Eighth grade parents have priority consideration.

- Your Student's Grade Level
- Which day(s) are you available to drive?
- Do you plan to stay at Brightwater during the tour?
- Number of students your vehicle can safely carry?
