Plastic Film Collection Drive

Newcastle Elementary is keeping plastic film out of landfills with Ridwell this fall! To participate in this limited-time recycling drive, bring plastic film (ziptop bags, grocery bags, bubble wrap, and lots more) to school from October 28 - November 1 and Ridwell will make sure it stays out of landfills. It’ll be turned into new decking materials instead! Start collecting plastic film at home now so you have a bunch for the drive.

Curious about at-home recycling pickup from Ridwell? They collect hundreds of common household items you can’t recycle curbside, like plastic food packaging, lightbulbs, clothes, Styrofoam, and more. If you sign up for a household membership by December 15, you’ll also help earn pickup of the school’s plastic film all spring (when 10 new members sign up) and a field trip to the Ridwell warehouse (when 20 new members sign up). Visit https://get.ridwell.com/newcastle for more information—and make sure you sign up through that page so your membership counts toward rewards for the school!

ARTICLE 2:

ISD Building Mondernization & Construction Bond will be on the November 5, 2024 Ballot - learn the facts here!

Issaquah School District is asking the community to consider a school modernization and construction bond in the November 5, 2024 election. School construction and modernization are minimally funded by the state, which is why school districts rely on local, voter-approved bond funding. Funding from the bond would be used to modernize buildings and infrastructure, giving every student in our district access to secure schools and innovative learning experiences that prepare them for their future. Bond funding would preserve our investment in facilities and ensure efficient and sustainable operations.

The bond proposal package was developed with the input of more than 60 community members, parents/guardians, staff and students who volunteered on the district's Bond Advisory Committee over the span of three months in the spring.

Read More Here about what is funded in the bond:  https://visvote.org/2024/08/09/what-is-in-the-school-construction-modernization-bond-on-the-nov-5-2024-ballot-read-here/
