Isaac students from multiple campuses joined Spirit, the Fiesta Bowl Foundation mascot, for an unforgettable birthday celebration alongside mascots from across Arizona!

Each teacher will receive additional classroom support, enabling them to continue providing engaging lessons and meaningful opportunities for growth. We are incredibly proud of their hard work and grateful to APS for supporting our teachers in such an impactful way.

The Isaac School District hosted another successful Parent Advisory Council meeting. The purpose of the Parent Advisory Committee is to hear from families and bring parents and guardians together with school leadership to represent the community.

This kind of impact is what the district strives to achieve every day, and a key reason these meetings are held. Thank you to the parents and leaders who shared this space with us!
