Summer reading suggestions:
Not sure what to read this summer? The library has you covered! Check out our list of summer reading suggestions – there is a list for students who will be in 9th grade in the fall, and a separate one for students entering grades 10-12 in the fall.
Book bingo through the Seattle Public Library is back! Complete five in a row or all the squares for blackout, and show your bingo card to Ms. T in the fall to get a prize! Check out the bingo display in the library for ideas on what to read for each category.
Fall 2024: SAT for seniors and PSAT for juniors
Seattle Public Schools will be offering the School Day SAT and PSAT this fall. Testing should take place in October and will be completely digital (thus requiring a district provided computer). Look at the district’s assessment page for more details. If your student has a 504 or an IEP and does not yet have College Board accommodations, now is the time to reach out to get those in place. Please contact your student’s case manager or e-mail Jennifer Luthe (Testing Coordinator) at jlluthe@seattleschools.org.
School Communication
Ingraham uses various methods to communicate information out to students and families:
- Students, please start checking your SPS email inbox daily for information from school.
- Schoology pages
- School Bulletins: We email the school bulletin 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.
- Talking Point via cell phone text

Friends of Ingraham needs you! We need to fill the following positions as soon as possible. We need the next generation of parents to step up and keep our school community strong, well-funded and informed.
President/Co-president: Partner with current president Kathleen Zagers and then step in to lead as President in 2025/2026. The president provides guidance and assistance to other board members, answers questions and connects with the Ingraham community and beyond. This is a role that requires some public speaking, leading monthly board meetings and an encouraging, supportive personality.
Communications: FOI has a multi-layered approach to communications. We are looking for someone who can write a monthly newsletter, help manage our social media accounts and keep our website updated. We are always interested in how we can best reach out to our families for optimum impact. We use programs like Canva, Constant Contact, Squarespace, Instagram and Facebook to help get the work done.
Fundraising: FOI would like to try some new fundraising strategies for next year. With the district budget cuts, we want to be certain that our fundraising efforts are successful, and FOI is positioned to offer maximum assistance to the school as needed. Join the board and we can work together to find some fun ways to raise money. The current major fundraiser for FOI is the Annual Appeal. Additional smaller events raise extra revenue.
Grade Level Representative(s): The purpose of this new role is to build community within each graduating class, provide representation to FOI across grade levels, and spearhead fundraising efforts for Senior Spree (do not have to be in charge of this, but spearhead getting those efforts going early).
If you are interested in taking the next step, please reach out to Kathleen Zagers at friendsofingrahamhs@gmail.com. We can work with you to make this commitment manageable.
