|
|
• Behavioral & Mental Health

Help Provide a Child with Tools4School:
Fund a Backpack and School Supplies
|
|
Tools4School provides new backpacks filled with school supplies for Issaquah School District K-12 students who need financial assistance. To better serve our students, we are asking for donations of the packaged supply kits only (no loose school supplies please). Thank you for supporting students in our community!
Does your child need a backpack & school supplies? Register to receive these essential tools needed for school!

We’ve made it easier to get your Tools4Schools! You can pick up a backpack and supplies directly from the office of the school your student attends starting August 15th. There will be no drive thru distribution this year. Be sure to register at the link above so that enough backpacks and supplies are delivered to your child’s school. If you experience any challenges picking up your backpack at your school, please contact us at info@isfdn.org or call 425-391-8557.

Our coding club welcomes all elementary, middle and high school students and is led by 3 Skyline High School student volunteers, mentored by Issaquah School Board Trustee Cloe Zeng. Everyone has the chance to learn coding with friends who are just as enthusiastic!
Besides just coding, this is also a great place for everyone to learn to be a leader. Every session is organized and led by the young leaders.
We regularly host free coding events all year long to encourage kids to learn coding, and to serve our community. As student volunteers, we design, advertise, and teach at our own events.
