Apologies for including the wrong Sign-Up Genius link for the November Staff Lunch. Our incredible Staff Appreciation co-chair, Jill, does double duty with these lunches! 

Here is the correct link!

Crisp air, beautiful leaves, sweaters and pumpkin spice...Fall is officially here, and we are hosting a cozy soup and salad lunch for our staff! Please sign up for a slot or two below to contribute to this wonderful event.

Aidan Key, an author and an educator, will bring his expertise on gender diversity and inclusion to our entire Mercer Island community on Friday, October 10h, from 4:30 to 6:30 pm in the MIHS library. He looks forward to having a conversation with parents and students to help us understand the needs of transgender youth and how to provide better support. Please note this event will be a safe and judgment-free space for the participants to ask any questions they may have as well as offer their different perspectives. Do not miss this opportunity to enhance our knowledge of gender equity and why this is important! Please RSVP here or with QR code. 

The Mercer Island School District New Family Welcome event is scheduled for Thursday, October 17, from 6pm-7:30pm in the Commons at Islander Middle School. Islander Middle School is located at 7447 84th Ave. SE.

At the New Family Welcome, pizza will be served and music students from the high school will perform. No RSVP is necessary and children are welcome. More than 25 Island community organizations will be in attendance to offer you information about their services. You will also be able to meet Superintendent Fred Rundle, members of the MISD School Board, and key school district leaders.

As part of our New Family Welcome event, we hope you will fill out this short survey. We are hoping to learn more about why you chose MISD and how we can better serve new families in the future. The information you provide can improve our processes, services, and programs for new families.

In October, we would like to thank our teachers and staff by providing a popcorn bar with all the fixings, along with a chance to win movie tickets through a fun raffle!

We need your help! We are hoping to collect at least 20 pairs of movie tickets so our staff can have a "night at the movies" on us!

We have a tight collections deadline, so if you're willing to contribute, please use this sign up to do so ASAP!
