Ishi Hills Middle School

We love our ESports program! Thanks to Mrs. Paisley & Mr. Devore for coordinating this awesome program!

Had a great time with parents/guardians this morning at our first, "Principal's Coffee & Community!" We discussed upcoming events, I answered questions, and we spent some time getting to know each other. Many staff stopped by and joined in. (How can you pass on hot coffee & sweet donuts!) 😉 Our awesome AP, Mr. Diaz, hung out with us for a bit, too! Super proud to be a part of our amazing Ishi community! Looking forward to the next event in mid November! ☕️🍩

Principal's Coffee & Community @ Ishi Hills Middle School ☀️ Friday, 10/6 8:15-9:00am In front of the main office. Hope to see you here! ☕️ You can RSVP on Parent Square 😉

Back to School Night at Ishi Hills coming soon! More information to come!

It was a great day at Ishi Hills today! Our band students are sounding great & we enjoyed another "Lawn Chair Lunch" Friday! Thanks to the family who donated 3 lawn chairs! Much appreciated! Have a fantastic weekend, Cougar families!

Due to high levels of illness in our school community, tomorrow's Back to School Night event is canceled. If there is a specific teacher you were hoping to connect with, please email them directly. We will be exploring options to reschedule the event. We're also requesting that you please do not send your students to school if they are sick. We prefer your student stay home, get rest, and return to school when they are healthy and no longer contagious. Please take care of yourselves and stay well.

Ishi Hills Middle School held its first "Lawn Chair Lunch" of the school year today. Students and staff mingled over lunch in the shade, enjoyed the fresh air, and ended the week on a great note. All three grade levels had excellent behavior. We can't wait to do it next Friday!
