LOOKING AHEAD:

MINI BACK TO BUSINESS DAYS

August 21, 9:00-11:00 AM

August 22, 5:00-7:00 PM

Families are expected to download all the forms and information from the IS website at https://bsd405.org/international/2018/07/back-to-business-day/ . There will not be copies of the forms available at school, so please print them out in advance and bring the completed copies with you. Included online is a document explaining the fees by grade, which you can pay online at https://touchbase.bsd405.org/ . 

Again, please note that you may start paying online now. However, you may also pay in the main office or at the attendance window on a Mini Back to Business Day. The school now takes credit cards, checks, and cash! They can only do one transaction per student, so you will need at least one check per student to pay for class fees.

At Mini Back to Business day, students will get their schedules and PE locks, be assigned lockers, receive ORCA cards to ride the Metro Bus (if eligible), and pay fees. School photos will not be taken on Mini Back to Business Days. Picture retakes and photos for students who were not able to make it on August 15 will take place on October 2.

If you are unable to attend any of the Back to Business Days, please call 425-456-6500 to set up an appointment. Do not just drop into the office.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 5:00 PM

TRANSPORTATION INFORMATION

The BSD Transportation Department should be contacting families soon regarding bus information. Click here for updates.

GET PREPPED FOR SCHOOL LUNCHES

Check out the BSD lunch menu here, and remember that because IS is a combined high school and middle school, our cafeteria only offers the high school menu (at the high school price).

Set up school lunch payments at PayPAMS.

SCHOOL DROP-OFF

AND PICKUP  

Drop-off and pickup are very busy times in our small lot, and our number one concern is the safety of your children. Please respect these rules :

Thank you for driving carefully! More info here.

ODD, EVEN, WHAT?

If your student is having trouble remembering where to go, at what time, on which day (or even if you are confused about how it works) try filling out this handy schedule with class, room, and teacher info.

THERE ISN'T MUCH TIME LEFT TO FINISH THAT SUMMER HOMEWORK!

Math and Science packets can be found here.
