Parents/Guardians:  If your student is withdrawing from Ingraham this school year, it is important to let us know!  Please notify the district online in less than 3 minutes if your student will not attend Ingraham.

If you have moved, it is important to let us, and the district know by completing a Change of Address form

Important Message from the Attendance Office

If your student will be missing two or more days of school, please remember to submit a Pre-Planned Absence Form. Common examples of pre-planned absences include college visits, family vacations, surgery or medical procedures, family events, and non-district athletic competitions.

Providing the form in advance helps students and teachers plan for missed instruction and assignments. A completed Planned Absence Form is required for the absence to be excused.

Forms are available in the Attendance Office or online on the Ingraham Attendance page.

Completed forms must be turned in at least three school days before the first day of the planned absence. For extended absences, please give your student’s teachers as much advance notice as possible if you are requesting assignments for your student to work on while they are away.

Thank you for helping us support strong, consistent attendance!

Ingraham Fall Play

The Fall play EMMA opens on November 5^th and runs two weekends! With a cast of outstanding actors as well as scenery, costumes and tech designed and built by Ingraham students! This play is presented in the Ingraham Little Theatre.

FINAL WEEK!  Ingraham AP registration and fees due date: October 30th (before 5 pm).

As you have hopefully heard from your student’s AP teacher, the deadline to register and pay exam fees is approaching.  Two things need to be completed for your student to be fully registered for an AP exam. Both registration and exam fee payment must be completed before the deadline of October 30th.     

1. Register online for their AP course and exam. Use https://myap.collegeboard.org/login to log in to the College Board website and use a course “join code” from their teacher (teachers have a handout with the information). 
2. Pay the exam fee of $125.00 to Ingraham. Fees can be paid by cash or check (made out to Ingraham High School – AP) at Ingraham’s Fiscal Office (room 165) or via SchoolPay at https://schoolpay.com/pay/for/Ingraham-AP-Exam-Registration-Fee-202620/SbtBMo0.  Please be aware that exam fees paid via SchoolPay have a service fee added.

Does your student qualify for Free and Reduced Lunch?  If so, please contact Jennifer Luthe at jlluthe@seattleschools.org or in person (in room 162) BEFORE paying the exam fee.  Students on our FRL list have a significantly lower exam fee.

Student Dropoff and Pickup

Ingraham has been working with the Seattle Department of Transportation to create safer passage along N. 135th St, on the north side of our campus. Starting Monday, 9/14/26, cars will no longer be able to drive between Densmore and Wallingford during student arrival and departure. The city will be placing temporary barriers to divert traffic around that section of the school. The buses and rideshares that transport our students who qualify for transportation services through their IEPs will still be dropped off on N. 135th, but cars will no longer be able to pass through. Additionally, at some point this school year they will be installing all-way stop signs at the following locations: 

N 135th /Wallingford

N 131st /Ashworth (by the backside of the Storage building, Sprouts, etc)

Parking Passes for Students

Students may sign up for a parking pass before and after school and during lunch with Mx. Julia in Room 65, while supplies last.  It is required that all students complete a vehicle registration form and obtain a free parking pass from the main office if they plan on parking on campus.  A valid driver’s license must be shown when obtaining the parking pass. Student parking is in the lot off Meridian and the south section of the south parking lot next to the fields.  Staff/Visitor parking is next to the auditorium/upper gym entrance, as well as in the south parking lot near the tennis courts. Do not park in the Helene Madison parking lot. Cars may be ticketed and/or towed if you are illegally parked in a handicapped parking spot or in a fire lane (yellow or red curbs). 

Sports Sign Ups-Winter Deadline October 26th!

Are you interested in playing Boys & Girls Basketball, Girls Bowling, Girls Flag Football, Girls Gymnastics, Boys Swim & Dive, or CoEd Wrestling this year? If so, the registration deadline is Oct 26th. Signups are on Final Forms. See the Ingraham Athletics page for sports information and instructions.
