We continue to reflect and remember civil rights leaders to honor their bravery and legacies. Today we reflect on Frederick Douglass, who escaped slavery and became a leader in the abolitionist movement. The abolitionist movement was an organized effort to end the practice of slavery. He continued to be an advocate for African American rights. We honor his legacy of equality among all.
Our teachers look forward to discussing with you your child’s accomplishments and academic goals during parent teacher conferences. Reminder, there will be half day dismissal during these days. Please reach out to your child’s school if you have any questions.
We invite you to join us for the Heart of Isaac’s Community Resource Day. This event is FREE and open to the public. Stop by and meet with 15+ community agencies and organizations.

Happy 111th Birthday, Arizona! Arizona became the 48th state of the United States on February 14, 1912. Today is also Valentine’s Day and we at Isaac would like to express our love and appreciation to our Isaac Staff, students, families, and the great state of Arizona.
As Black History Month continues, today we reflect on Jackie Robinson who became the first African American player in Major League Baseball. He broke the color barrier in a sport by fighting for what he believed in, equal opportunity for all. After retiring from baseball in 1957, he became a civil rights activist alongside Martin Luther King Jr. His courageous efforts played a major role in history, both on the field and throughout American society.
Join us in the Isaac Cares: Be All You Can Be Campaign as we raise awareness and educate families about the prevention of drug use. FREE parent workshops available. Learn more and register: https://5il.co/1p3i5

Thank you to our school counselors that play an essential role in the daily lives of our students. We appreciate all that you do to support our students in many ways, not just in the classroom. Happy School Counseling Week to our amazing Isaac Counselors! #NSCW23 #HelpingStudentsDreamBig
Yesterday evening’s Governing Board Meeting took place at Joseph Zito Elementary School. Principal, Ms. Laura Couret de Gentile presented the school events, parent classes, and the steps Zito is taking towards proficiency. Zito Staff showcased a great opportunity that was presented to their school, which allowed students to participate in STEAM activities and a visit from Larry Fitzgerald. The Governing Board Meeting was followed by a strategic plan update where various departments showcased student data, parent education, communication efforts, and ongoing renovation projects.
Joseph Zito Elementary received a special visit yesterday from Larry Fitzgerald and James Bernstrom, Head of Microsoft Sports Marketing. STEAM Partner, 4th Family also joined the students by providing a fun-filled STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics) day to demonstrate tools the NFL uses for their players while building STEAM awareness. Thank you to our community partners for their support as we empower our students to continue to reach their full potential!
Today we reflect on Rosa Parks, a Civil Rights Activist who refused to give up her seat on a public bus because of her race. She helped organize the Montgomery Bus Boycott in 1955 to stand up for what she believed in. The boycott lasted 381 days and the 13-month long protest ended with the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that segregation on public buses is unconstitutional. Her bravery led to nationwide efforts to end racial segregations of public facilities.
We celebrate the hard work and dedication our school counselors put forth every day for our students. From supporting academic and social emotional learning to providing guidance for student success. #HelpingStudentsDreamBig #NSCW23
The Isaac School District’s vision is to prepare all students to excel in their education and in life.

Black History Month is a time of remembrance and reflection of civil rights leaders and their legacies. Today we reflect on Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy of addressing social problems through collective actions. He was best known for his “I Have a Dream” Speech in 1963. He believed that one day, our nation would not judge people by the color of their skin and that all people were created equal. We continue to honor his contributions for a better future.
Thank you to our leaders who attended the Arizona Department of Education Job Fair this past Saturday. The Isaac Team interacted with job seekers and did an outstanding job promoting the Isaac School District to prospective candidates.
National School Counseling Week 2023 (Feb. 6-10), sponsored by the American School Counselor Association (ASCA), highlights the essential contribution of school counselors within U.S. school systems and the tremendous impact they have in helping students achieve school success and plan for a career. We thank our school counselors for their dedication and the work they put forth each day.
