Principal's Message

What a fantastic school year! I want to express my sincere gratitude to all our dedicated parents and incredible students. Your hard work, enthusiasm, and positive spirit made this year truly special. We witnessed tremendous growth, both academically and personally, and I'm incredibly proud of everything we accomplished together. Enjoy a well-deserved summer break, and we'll look forward to seeing you all refreshed and ready to learn again in the fall! 

King County Library Summer Reading Program 

On June 3rd, our local librarians will be stopping by Ilalko to get student excitement about their KCLS Summer Reading Program. Students should set a goal to read 20 minutes per day (or set your own reading goal) between June 1 and August 31. This includes reading to someone else or listening to an audiobook. Reading is important for all ages! 

Research shows that children and teens grow their reading skills when they choose their own books and read for enjoyment. Reading for pleasure also benefits adults. It improves brain health, reduces stress, and offers opportunities for learning and growth. You can encourage reading by setting aside time every day to read together as a family.   https://kcls.org/summer/ 

Ilalko Summer School Program 

Each year we offer a summer school program to student, students will be invited by their teachers to participate in the summer school program. We also offer a summer program for our Multilingual students. If your student was not invited to participate in summer school, but you have an interest in participating, you can reach out to Mrs. Siegrist Jseigrist@auburn.wednet.edu Summer school runs Mondays-Thursdays August 5th-August 22nd. 

Parent Volunteer Renewal 

This is a reminder that each year you must renew your parent volunteer paperwork. Follow the link on our website to renew your background check so that you can volunteer at the start of next school year. Parent Volunteer Renewal Paperwork 

Parent Feedback for Class Placements 

While Ilalko does not take requests for class placements, your feedback is important to us. If you wish to provide feedback regarding your student's class placement you can do that by completing this form. Please share anything you'd like us to consider as we place your student into a class for the following year. PARENT FEEDBACK FORM 

Open House and Back to School Details 

You can expect to receive a letter in the month of August from your student's new teacher. You will also receive information about our Fall Open House and back to school events in the month of August. If your student is on a In-district or out-of-district Waiver, please visit our front office to complete your waiver paperwork for the coming year. This must be done every school year! 

Are you moving over the summer? If you are moving out of district or to another area in Auburn, please let our front office team know ASAP. 

Last Day of School Schedule and Details 

The last day of school is only two hours long. We will hold two PRIDE awards assemblies and have time for signing yearbooks and memory books that day for all grades. If you ordered a yearbook, your student will receive the yearbook that week. 

PLEASE NOTE: Students will arrive home on buses 41/2 hours earlier than usual on the last day of school.
