Last Day of School for Students: Half Day High and Middle Schools, Full Day Elementary

*Note: On April 24, the district announced that it had just received the waiver from the state. Here is that announcement:

 

The state has approved Issaquah School District’s request to waive the school day on Wednesday, June 25, 2025. This waiver was requested due to weather-related closures earlier in the school year. As a result, the last day of school for all students will be Tuesday, June 24, 2025. The schedule for June 24 remains the same — elementary schools will attend a full day, and secondary schools will follow a half-day schedule. Students will not attend school on June 25.

The district applied for this waiver under the state’s Emergency School Closure Waiver program, which allows missed days to be waived if certain conditions are met. These include making up at least three missed days, demonstrating reasonable efforts to recover all lost instructional time, and ensuring the district meets the state’s required annual instructional hours.

The web-based calendar will be updated today; the PDF version of the calendar will be updated as soon as possible.

Creekside’s Reading Rocks Rodeo was a success! Students and families enjoyed read-alouds with teachers and special guests, including the Sammamish Mayor, Deputy Mayor, and local police officers. The evening was filled with exciting activities like a photo booth, bookmark-making station, and book tasting, where students explored new and exciting reads. As a special treat, all attendees received a coupon to check out two extra books from the library. Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate the joy of reading!

Meet Principal Amy Allison!

Hi, Otter families! My favorite part of being a principal is seeing our students every day, and seeing their joy while learning! A few fun facts about me: If I could only eat one food for the rest of my life, it would be grilled cheese sandwiches. My bucket travel list includes a trip to Egypt to see the pyramids. I love to hike, and I also love the Seahawks.
