Cultural Bridges helps Issaquah school parents feel more confident becoming involved in school and supporting their students at home through outreach, events, and a magazine published in 8 languages.
Cultural Bridges
Our team acts as a bridge between the diverse community and the Issaquah District schools to make sure families feel comfortable to get the resources that are available to them.
Cultural Bridges support the ISD Cultural and Family Partnership event and other cultural events hosted in our different communities.
We publish a magazine that helps families navigate the Issaquah School District and the cities of Issaquah, Sammamish, Newcastle, Bellevue, and Renton. The magazine is currently offered in Arabic, Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Spanish, and Vietnamese.
Cultural Bridges also publishes an annual Family Guide to help all families learn more about the school system, better understand rules and procedures, and explore ways to become more involved.
