Homework Town Hall Meetings: The Issaquah School District has asked the PTSAs to hold “town hall” style forums to gain feedback regarding parent, teacher, and student opinions about homework and homework policies. You can attend any of them -- we’ll be posting the meetings as they are scheduled. The next one is scheduled at Pine Lake Middle School (PLMS), immediately following the PTSA GM Meeting which starts at 6:30pm (estimate Homework portion of meeting to start about 7pm).?
