EVP Began Yesterday

The Enrollment Verification Process (EVP) needs to be completed for each student that will be enrolled in an ISD school during the upcoming school year. This is an opportunity to confirm your student's enrollment for the upcoming school year, complete and submit required annual forms, and verify that your student and family information on record is up-to-date. 

Dates: August 7th - 13th, 2023

EVP is available in Family Access for the family that lives at the student's primary residence. If you believe you should have access to complete the EVP and do not see this option available during the date range above, please reach out to our school's registrar for assistance, Pam Stucky, at 425-837-5800.

Do not forget to head over to the PTSA web page and join the PTSA, order yearbooks, and much more!
