Walk & Bike to School DaysPlease join us for JSIS Walk & Bike to School Days throughout the year. Any day is good for walking and biking, but the following dates will be celebrated with treats for all walkers, bikers, and bus riders. If you come by car, ask your driver to park a couple blocks away so you can walk. Help us reduce traffic close to school, and you will benefit from the healthy walk or bike ride!
Dates: 2/20, 3/20, 4/24, 5/1, 5/8, 5/22, 5/29, 6/12 (note: May is Bike to School month, so we'll be celebrating every week) Bike to School Day is Wednesday, May 6 - start planning your biking route to school!

JSIS Welcomes The Seattle/King County Humane SocietyThe Seattle/King County Humane Society's mobile pet adoption vehicle, the MaxMobile, will be visiting JSIS in the coming weeks. Teaching staff from the Humane Society will work with small groups of students to help them learn more about empathy through animals and safety. For dates and more info, click

To thank and support their work, we are having a pet food drive which will run through Friday, March 6th. Donations will go to a Pet Food Bank for seniors living on fixed incomes and for pet owners with AIDS. Healthful food is preferred, but all pet food donations are welcomed.
Collection boxes are outside of the main office and on the second floor near the bathrooms.
Incoming Kindergarten Tour Guides Needed!Remember what it was like walking into JSIS for the first time? Help make that experience a positive one for incoming families by volunteering to lead a small group of prospective families around our school and answer basic questions. No experience necessary....just a love of our school.
Tour dates are Friday, February 13th and Thursday, February 26th from 9:30-11am in the JSIS Library. Sign up
