Parent Opportunities to Provide Input on Hiring a New Principal
The PTSA board wants to make sure you have an opportunity to provide input into this process. There are now two meetings where input will be collected:
- Monday, March 13th, 12:30-2:05 PM, ICS Lyceum Sue Anne Sullivan, District Support Supervisor from the Redmond Learning Community, will be at ICS to meet with parents to discuss areas of strength, opportunities for growth and leadership characteristics for the new principal.
- Tuesday, March 14th, 6:00-8:30 PM, LWRC The PTSA Board will host a workshop to identify key values that the parents want to see reflected in the selection process. We'll break into groups and answer the following questions:
- What does this school do well?
- What could this school do better?
- What should this school be focused on?
- What qualities do we need in a principal?
- Any other thoughts?
This workshop will take the place of our regularly scheduled principal chat and parent meeting (we will still have some standard agenda items for the first half hour, including the principal's report).

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.
