Hello New Mercer Island Families,
The Mercer Island School District New Family Welcome event is scheduled for Thursday, October 5, from 6pm-7:30pm in the Commons at Islander Middle School. Islander Middle School is located at 7447 84th Ave. SE.
At the New Family Welcome, pizza will be served and music students from the high school will perform. No RSVP is necessary and children are welcome. More than 25 Island community organizations will be in attendance to offer information about their services. You will also be able to meet me, members of the MISD School Board, and key school district leaders.
I am eager to welcome you and your family to MISD and I look forward to meeting each of you.
Sincerely,
Dr. Fred Rundle
