ISD Volunteer Applications Open Up August 7th!

Issaquah School District requires a yearly Volunteer Application be approved before volunteering in our buildings. This application is valid August-July.  We are hoping to get our Briarwood community approved before the Fall rush. If you even have a remote chance of volunteering this year, please get it done today! Applications are open NOW! Apply early! Apply HERE!


Sign Up For PTA Today!

Elementary schools should be a good balance of fun and learning.  The PTA works hard to bring both to our community when public funding falls short.  Briarwood Parent Teacher Association (PTA) is a non-profit, volunteer organization made up of parents, teachers and community members committed to enhancing the educational experience for all children at Briarwood Elementary School.

There is a gap in State and District funding for essential educational programs and classroom support for teachers. Briarwood students benefit from these extra programs that would not be possible without contributions from the Briarwood community. Donations to PTA fundraising activities help fund the following programs and events:

  • Art Docent Program
  • Clay Art Program - New this year!
  • Music Program 
  • Drama Club
  • Books and supplemental materials for the library and classrooms
  • Parent education events
  • Guest speakers, authors, and artists
  • 5th grade promotion events

Please JOIN TODAY and consider making a donation so we can continue to provide enriching activities for all students this year!
