What's New

Family Connection Night

11/13/2023

0 Comments

 
 

Dear Issaquah School District Early Learning Families,

 

We are excited to welcome you to the first of our 2023-2024 in person Family Engagement Series held at Holly Street Early Learning Center on Monday, November 13th at 6:00 p.m. We invite you to join us for this session that will build upon topics discussed in our Zoom night together earlier in October, including relationships and strong routines as a strong foundation, responsive environments, and boosting home-school connections. Families will have opportunities to connect with one another as we discuss and share strategies. 

 

Please see attached for the slide deck from the October presentation on building strong foundations. Visual supports and individualized materials supporting this topic will be provided at our in person evening together on 11/13 at 6pm. We will meet at the Holly Street Early Learning Center, across the street from Issaquah Valley Elementary. This is an evening for adults to connect and child care is not provided at this time.

 

The Family Engagement Series focuses on early childhood, from preschool ages through grade three, as we discuss strategies for supporting positive behaviors and independence for all students, including students with disabilities. As we recognize that different formats work for different family needs, we will continue to alternate formats monthly, between Zoom and in person. We will return to our Zoom format with a new topic, Building Upon the Foundations: Behavior as Communication, in December. More information to come.

Financial & Estate Planning for Families

5/1/2023

0 Comments

 
Mr. Sweeny and Ms. Burke will be presenting on the topic of Financial Strategies and Estate Planning.  There are three Phases of Family Life, based on age, for a child with special needs: Pre-Guardianship, Post-Guardianship, and Independent Living. Each phase has its own unique financial and legal challenges. However, with proper planning, parents/guardians can hopefully find peace, knowing that their child’s financial well-being is protected throughout their life span as well as in the event of an unforeseen life change. We will discuss the resources available to you and have an open conversation where you can ask questions and/or share life experiences.  Free to all who would like to join.
