Mobile Dental Clinic

Ingraham students now have an opportunity to receive dental services at school with the Mobile Dental Clinic operated by ICHS. Services include comprehensive dental exams, cleanings, X-rays, fillings, sealants, fluoride treatments, oral health education, and some extractions. Ingraham students who have not been to the dentist in the past year or are currently experiencing tooth pain are eligible for these services, which are offered at No Cost to families. Insurance is accepted if available, but there are no copays and patients without insurance will be covered 100%. 

The Mobile Dental Clinic is working in partnership with Ingraham’s Teen Health Center through King County Public Health. Interested students and families can pick up a registration packet in the Main Office or Teen Health Center. Registration packets must be completed by a parent or guardian and turned in to the Teen Health Center as soon as possible. Once registration has been submitted, the Mobile Dental Clinic will reach out to begin scheduling. 

Flu and COVID Vaccines Available

Flu season is here. Luckily, students can get flu and Covid shots in the Teen Health Center! Appointments are free of cost. Stop by the Teen Health Center next to the Counseling office to get signed up so you can stay well this winter.

College Representative Visits

Students!  One of the more important opportunities available every fall are the College Admissions Rep visits to Ingraham High School. College Admissions Representatives from campuses across the state and country are scheduled to visit IHS and meet with interested students in grades 9-12 (students only). We already have several visitors on the schedule, and they are very excited to meet you. This is one of the few opportunities available to meet the person who may be reading your college application, ask questions about the campus, and gather helpful information to use during your college research and the admission/application process. These visits are especially helpful for seniors who are about to begin the college application process.

Students are required to sign-up to attend these sessions and do so via their Naviance/High School and Beyond Plan accounts.

To sign-up: Please log in to your Clever account

  • Click on Naviance 
  • Click on Colleges, then college visits 
  • Click on View Details and register for the college you want to attend! 

Then write down the visit on your planner or personal calendar. On the date and time of the visit, come down to the library and meet the representative!  You are welcome to stay for a portion of the visit or the entire visit before heading back to class.

Please continue checking the visit section as new college visits are added.

Parents: Visit the Ingraham website under Resources for information College Visits

Bright Futures: Who are we? What do we do?

We are a student support program steered by a committee of dedicated Ingraham staff and parents working together to directly help Ingraham students who are experiencing food and housing insecurity. Our goal is to not only meet the basic needs of these students, but to ensure access to the full high school experience with “extras” like dance tickets, yearbooks, college visits, and more. 

Basic needs, however, are back to being our focus for the month of November. Did you know that every Friday, in community partnership with University District Food Bank and the Bridges Program, we distribute supplemental food backpacks to over 200 Ingraham students? Food support during school breaks and in times of crises, makes up a significant portion of our overall budget, and we anticipate this need to be even greater in the coming months. Please consider donating to this year’s Bright Futures fundraising campaign, to ensure stable funding for this vital program. 

Looking for more ways to help? 

Thank you, Ingraham families, for your ongoing support! 

School Communication

Ingraham uses various methods to communicate information out to students and families:

  • Student’s SPS email accounts
  • Schoology pages
  • School Bulletins:  We email the school bulletin weekly via a system called School Messenger.  Occasionally, we hear from parents/guardians who say they are not receiving the bulletin or have suddenly stopped receiving them.  It is usually an email filter issue, or you have inadvertently unsubscribed.  Please manage your communication preferences.
  • TalkingPoints- a text-message based service to allow families faster and language-barrier-free communication.
