Ingraham AP registration and fees due date:  October 31st (before 5 pm) !

As you have hopefully heard from your student’s AP teacher, the deadline to register and pay exam fees is rapidly approaching.  Students who want to take their AP class’s exam need to register for it online at https://myap.collegeboard.org/login using a course “join code” from their teacher.  The exam fee of $125.00 also needs to be paid to Ingraham.  Fees can be paid by cash or check at Ingraham’s Fiscal Office or via SchoolPay at  https://schoolpay.com/link/IngrahamAP.  Please be aware that exam fees paid via SchoolPay have a service fee added.  Both registration and exam fee payment must be completed before the deadline of October 31st.     

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 fee. 

Ingraham only has 4 AP exams available due to our extensive IB offerings: AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC, AP Computer Science A, and AP Statistics.  Before paying and registering for an AP exam, please check for conflicts with IB testing. If your student is hoping to take an AP exam other than those provided at Ingraham, you will need to complete a district-level form to demonstrate interest and determine availability.  Please keep an eye on your e-mail or go to the District’s Assessment website (https://www.seattleschools.org/departments/assessments/exam-schedule-and-registration/ ) for more information.

Seattle Public Schools will be offering the School Day SAT and PSAT this fall at no cost to you.  Ingraham will be offering these assessments on the morning of Thursday, October 23rd , making scores available to students on November 6th.  The SAT and PSAT are now completely digital for all students.  Students must test on their district provided device (if they don’t have one, students need to get one).  Device preparation will take place in school Oct. 20th – 22nd.  Students can find information on how to prep their device and access a test preview and/or test practice on their grade level Schoology Page or by following this link:   SAT and PSAT Laptop Prep and Test Day Info.

Running Start students: if you plan to test at Ingraham, it is your responsibility to plan in advance to make that happen.  If you have morning college classes, talk with your professors about missing class.  Get a district laptop as soon as you can, and make sure that Bluebook is available on the device.  Jennifer Luthe, AIS/Testing Coordinator, at jlluthe@seattleschools.org.

SPS Check Yourself Questionnaire

Seattle Public Schools (SPS) will be administering the Check Yourself questionnaire to students as part of the SBIRT program. This program is grant funded and aims to reduce substance use, promote mental health, and provide students with the resources needed to thrive. The Check Yourself questionnaire is completely voluntary. Families can choose to excuse their student, and students can also decline to participate. There is no penalty for not participating and your student’s grades will not be affected. The questionnaire can be previewed at your school or on the SPS SBIRT/Check Yourself website. To opt your student out of participation, please contact Ingraham’s Prevention and Intervention Specialist, Danielle Delappe  dcdelappe@seattleschools.org

These visits are especially helpful for seniors who are about to begin the college application process.

After School Tutoring in the Library

Tutoring will be in the Ingraham library on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:45 – 4:45 and is open to all Ingraham students.

Transportation via King County Metro

Due to a statewide measure, youth who are under 19 years old can ride public transportation for free. This means that the district no longer provides Youth ORCA cards to SPS students. For riders 13 and older, using a Youth ORCA card is highly encouraged, but not required. Tapping a Youth ORCA card allows transit agencies to better understand how many young people are riding transit, including where and when.

Students aged 13 and older are encouraged to order a free Youth ORCA card on the My ORCA website (the card will automatically be registered when ordered).  Students who currently have a Youth ORCA card can continue to use the card, even if it has an expiration date. 

Please go to the SPS Transportation webpage for more information

Student Drop-off and Parking on Campus /See attached map.

Parents: Please do not drop off your students on N. 135th St, as that is reserved for district transportation only.  Student drop-off is in the NE Visitor Parking lot.

Students: : 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.  The process of obtaining a parking pass will be announced soon, so stay tuned.  A valid driver 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).

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

We are a Friends of Ingraham (FOI) program of parent volunteers who work with Ingraham staff to directly help over 200 Ingraham students experiencing housing and food insecurity.  One way we do this is by providing a special space in the school, called the Pride Closet. This is a safe, judgement-free room where our students in need can pick up essentials like clothing & shoes, backpacks & school supplies, warm coats & gloves, and a variety of toiletries. We’re kicking off this school year with a Backpack Drive! Please help us meet our goal of 40 new backpacks by going here to purchase one!

We also partner with the U District Food Bank and the Ingraham Bridges program to distribute food backpacks to our students every Friday. How can YOU help? How about an easy food bank delivery shift on an upcoming Thursday? Sign up to help with an easy food back delivery shift for more info!

We do this and so much more! Please join us at our monthly committee meetings which take place at the school on the second Tuesday of every month in Room 62 at 10:00am to find out more about this amazing program and how you can get involved! Please reach out to the Bright Futures Chair, Michele Fowler, with any questions at foibrightfutures@gmail.com.

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.
