Mercer Island, WA, January 24, 2024 – All four Mercer Island School District Elementary Schools will be holding school tours on Thursday, February 8 and Wednesday, April 17. The tours will take place from 9:30am-11am.
The purpose of the tours is to give prospective families, either on Mercer Island or those off island and considering a move to the island, a chance to visit the school on a typical school day.
Community members interested in visiting one of the schools will need to wait outside the main school entrance at 9:30am to be let into the school by a school staff member.
