The Family and Community Engagement Program fosters communication and awareness of both the needs and the resources occurring in the greater Issaquah community. By sharing information from our partner organizations, our PTSA network can easily bring together those who are seeking assistance with those organizations and individuals contributing resources. Be sure to check below for events and programs happening now, as well as ways in which you can help.

Free Meals!
The District is having a lot of issues connecting with families that need meals. These meals have perishable items that need to be eaten, or they will need to be thrown away.
Please help us sharing this resource with everyone. Families DON'T even need to be part of the District to pick up a meal!
