Sibling Enrollment    

To be eligible for enrollment into Kindergarten, a student must be five years old on or before September 1 of the enrollment year. ISLA gives preference for enrollment to students who:

  • Meet the application deadline
  • Is a sibling of a currently enrolled pupil or foster child of the pupil's parents
  • Are a child of an ISLA staff member

Make sure that your child receives the sibling enrollment priority they are entitled to at ISLA.  Submit an online student application for the sibling of a currently enrolled student by the sibling enrollment deadline (4:00 pm on February 15, 2024).  Any student applications for a sibling received after the deadline will follow regular enrollment processes.

Spirit Week - February 12 - 16

As we continue to work on improving the PTO Website to be the go-to source for info, we will be trying to condense some of the info included in Noticias. Here’s to progress– And make sure you keep tabs on the website for key info!!

Let’s treat our teachers!

On Wednesday February 14th, let's show ISLA teachers and staff some LOVE! Take a peek at the signup genius to see what treat you’d like to snag! Please drop off your items in the teacher’s lounge 2/13 Tuesday afternoon or 2/14 Wednesday morning. THANK YOU for your help and showing our ISLA staff how appreciative we are of them!!

Join the ISLA Community at some favorite local restaurants each month!!

ONE MONTH to go!!


It is ISLA PTO’s BIGGEST fundraiser and gathering each Spring where we come together as a community to mingle. We celebrate, dance, fundraise, eat & drink. (There may even be a few surprises up our sleeve this year!)

While doing that, we fundraise to provide 100% of the costs of the Language Ambassador Program!  Each year, ISLA PTO brings native Spanish-speakers to our school as teaching assistants to our kids. The LAs are an invaluable part of our school and Fiesta de la Primavera is the time that we are able to provide support for this amazing program!! To do that, the PTO gathers donations from both local businesses and within our community through Great Gatherings, gift baskets, gift certificates and countless other types of items to auction off!

Current Fiesta Needs

Can’t attend? You can still participate in the online auction!! Click here to register on the Givesmart website and view the available items.

We need more Gift Baskets for the silent auction!! We’ve got ready-made ideas, or you can get a group of friends together & create your own! Click here to view the Gift Basket donation form. You can also find all the donation types on the Fiesta website!!
