At Isaac, the safety and well-being of our students and staff remains our highest priority. This month, our Isaac students participated in bus evacuation drills and learned about the importance of bus safety. 🚌 These safety drills allowed both students and staff to practice vital bus safety procedures. Thank you to our bus drivers, support staff, and teachers for taking part and supporting the safety and well-being of our students.

The Heart of Isaac Community Center hosted a successful community resource day, bringing essential support and resources to our local families and community members. Community members had access to health screenings, and a range of helpful services, all thanks to the collaboration of dedicated community partners and organizations. Special recognition goes to the amazing HOI team, parent educators, and parent volunteers for their hard work in making these events possible for our community.

Yesterday, our interim superintendent, Dr. Lily Mesa-Lema, engaged with families during our Parent Advisory Council (PAC) meeting. The room was filled with positivity and determination as they discussed moving forward with commitment and hope. #IsaacPride






Our second cohort of middle school scholars, members of the Superintendent's Student Advisory Council (SSAC), gathered for their first meeting of the new year. Under the guidance of the dedicated and esteemed Ms. Kimberlee Preston, Social Studies Strategist, the team is committed to amplifying student voices throughout the district while nurturing leadership skills and civic engagement for a brighter future. A sincere thank you to Ms. Preston for her ongoing leadership and to our students for their dedication to creating positive learning environments for themselves and their fellow peers.
