ICS 2017-2018 Registration Day and Volunteers Needed, August 30th
Please mark your calendars for the 2017-2018 ICS Registration Day to be held on Wednesday, August 30th from 8:30am - 2pm (these are the tentative times). More details will be provided in future newsletter releases.
We need parents to help us with registration! If you are available from 8:30am - 2pm (approximately) on Wednesday, August 30th, please consider helping us.
Please send a note to our
Volunteer Committee if you would like to volunteer. (We are still in the planning stages for registration and do not have all the details yet; when the details have been finalized, we will send out the information to the volunteers). For now, we are collecting names and email addresses of parents who would like to assist.

Volunteers Needed: Laptop and Textbook Return - June 22nd
Our ICS librarian, Ms. Simon, needs six volunteers all day on Thursday, June 22nd, to help her process laptop and textbook returns for all students.
Volunteers will need to be at school from 7:30am - 2pm (or until returns are completed). No siblings please. There is some lifting involved (laptops are placed in bins and moved around). If you are interested in volunteering, please email the Volunteer Coordinators.

Legislative Liason Needed
Are you interested in advocating for children in Washington State? Do you want to know how our PTSA community can affect local and state-wide legislation? We need a new Legislative Liaison for next year. The liaison attends district and community meetings and the yearly Legislative Assembly (October) and Focus Day (January) to keep our community involved with legislation that affects our students. If interested, contact Samantha Robertson.

Volunteers Needed for Taste 2.0 Spring International Night - June 7th
It's that time of year again! The International Committee is working on the third and final Taste 2.0 event of the year: The Spring International Night. With even more food and fun, The Spring International Night on
Wednesday June 7th will be showcasing the cultures of Latin American and Africa. Come ready to eat from
5:30-7pm! As an added bonus, this event will happen concurrently with the ICS Spring Music Concert.
We are now asking for volunteers to help us provide dishes related to Latin America and Africa. Volunteers can also sign up to serve food that evening or can simply make and deliver a dish to be eaten. Dishes must arrive at ICS no later than
5:15pm.
We greatly appreciate your effort, and if you're interested in volunteering, please send an email Julie Kotler or Kathy Thompson,
Volunteer Coordinators. In your email, let us know if you would like to:
1) prepare a dish;
2) serve at Spring International Night; or
3) both cook and serve.

Deadline For Reporting Volunteer Hours - Midnight May 30th
Have you entered your ICS Volunteer hours for this school year?
The deadline for reporting volunteer hours is fast approaching. Here is a complete summary of what you need to know about submitting your hours and checking past submissions. As a reminder, each family has a
30 hour commitment to fulfill and the deadline for submitting your hours is
midnight on
May 30th. If you are going to volunteer at an event that occurs after this date (i.e. graduation, BBQ, etc.), please estimate your hours and submit them now.
In order to record your volunteer hours, first log into the
ICS PTSA website using the log in form on the right side of the homepage, and then click on
Input Volunteer Hours under the
Volunteering menu item on the left side of the screen. Complete all of the required information and click on the
Submit button. If you've already entered volunteer hours in the past, your last entry will be pre-populated on the screen. Simply edit the 'Category', 'Hours', and 'Comments' (if necessary) and click on the
Submit button once. If you do not click on the
Submit button, your hours will not be recorded.
Note: If you haven't already created an account on the website, do that now! Once you've registered and 'confirmed' your registration, please allow 24 hours for your account to be approved. You will need an active account to enable you to post your volunteer hours. If you have questions about reporting your hours on the website or have trouble with logging on, please contact the
ICS PTSA Webmasters for assistance.
If you find yourself coming up short a couple of hours and can't find a volunteer opportunity at this late date, you will be asked to pay ICS $30 per hour for unfulfilled volunteer hours. Checks should be made payable to ICS and delivered to the office no later than
Thursday, June 22nd.
Note: Seniors have an earlier deadline which is communicated to them separately.

Checking and Printing Volunteer Hours
Not sure you have met your volunteer hours commitment? Here's how to check:
- Log into the ICS PTSA website. Enter your login credentials under PTSA Member Login.
- Click on the Volunteering menu item under Main Menu on the left side.
- Click on the View Submitted Hours sub menu item under Volunteering.
- All of your entered hours will be displayed.
Please note: If two or more members of your family have separate accounts and each of you logs your hours separately, they will not all show up together when you log in. But they will be combined when reports are compiled. We compile reports based on your oldest child's (at ICS) first and last name. Please ensure that all account holders entering volunteer hours enter the first and last name of the oldest child consistently. This will ensure that all hours for the parents or guardian of that child will be combined for reporting purposes.
How do I create a printout of my volunteer hours? (Needed for year-end check out if you miss the deadline of May 30th)
- Follow the instructions above to view the volunteer hours you've entered into the ICS PTSA website.
- On the top right of the Volunteer Hours List page, you will see a small Excel icon.
- Click on the Excel icon. Depending on your web browser settings, you will be able to either Open or Save your hours in Microsoft Excel format (*.xls) and then print from there.
