Thanks to the Island Park Community for your help in passing the school bond and levy! The Mercer Island Community came together on Feb. 11th with a resounding Yes! to fixing overcrowding in our schools With 48% of islanders voting, the bond passed by 74% and the levy by 77%! This is a great testament to the value of education in our community.
We would like to thank all of you for your role in ensuring the passage of the bond and levy. You were door-belling, and phone-banking and sign-waving, and above all, you all voted. You posted on your Facebook page. You reminded your neighbor at the bus pick up and at QFC to vote. And it worked! We went from 25% parent participation in the last bond, to well over 50%! It goes without saying that without your support as parents, the results would not have been so successful. The benefits to our children and to our community are immeasurable.
The MISD is holding public input sessions to review the approved plans as follows:
Thursday 3/6 @ The Peak from 1 to 2:30PM
Monday 3/10 @ IMS from 7-8:30PM
Tuesday 3/11 @ MIHS from 7-8:30PM

From The Health Room
Keep An Eye Out For Head Lice
Head lice are tiny, wingless insects that live close to the human scalp. They feed on blood. The eggs, also called nits, are tiny, teardrop shaped eggs that attach to the hair shaft. Nits can look like dandruff but cannot be removed or brushed off. The adult louse is the size of a sesame seed and appears tan to grayish-white.
An itchy and inflamed scalp is a common symptom of lice. Head lice are not related hygiene. They are mostly spread by direct head-to-head contact.
If you think your child has head lice, it's important to talk to a healthcare provider. There are new prescription treatment options available that are safe and do not require nit combing.
