Hello New Mercer Island Families,

At the New Family Welcome, pizza will be served and music students from the high school will perform. No RSVP is necessary and children are welcome. More than 25 Island community organizations will be in attendance to offer information about their services. You will also be able to meet me, members of the MISD School Board, and key school district leaders.
I am eager to welcome you and your family to MISD and I look forward to meeting each of you.
Sincerely,
Dr. Fred Rundle
