Navigating the Issaquah School District can sometimes feel like learning a new language—full of acronyms, programs, and terms that aren’t always easy to understand. To help families feel informed and confident, we’ve created the Issaquah School District Acronyms and Terminology Guide.
This guide is available as a PDF, making it easy for families to download, print, and keep at home for quick reference. It’s also offered in 8 different languages to meet the diverse needs of our community. Inside, you’ll find clear explanations for commonly used terms—from academic programs like AP, CTE, and STEM to key resources such as Skyward, EVP, and IEP.
Whether you’re new to the district or a longtime ISD parent, this guide is a valuable tool to keep within easy reach throughout the school year.
