Ingraham AP registration and fees due date: October 30th (before 5 p.m.)!

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.  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 pay for the Ingraham AP Exam via SchoolPay.  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. 

Ingraham only has 2 AP exams available this year due to our extensive IB offerings: AP Calculus AB 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.  Check your e-mail or go to the District’s Assessment website for more information.  

SAT for seniors and PSAT for juniors – Thursday, October 22nd

Seattle Public Schools will be offering the School Day SAT and PSAT this fall at no cost to you.  Ingraham students will be automatically registered by the district, and testing will take place the morning of Thursday, October 22^nd.  Scores should be available to students by November 6^th.  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. 19^th-21^st.  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 view SPS device prep for SAT/PSAT

Running Start students: If you plan to test at Ingraham, it is your responsibility to make a 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.

Starting in Fall of 2026, One Free Breakfast and One Free Lunch for Every Student, Every Day, in Every School

Every day, SPS offers a nutritionally balanced breakfast and lunch for our students!

Every student/family should complete the CNEEB form .

We are asking for 100% completion of this application (even for those who may not qualify). This helps the district collect much needed funds from the government and gives us complete data for our student body. Thank you!

Bright Futures: Donation Closet Support

We are an FOI program of parent volunteers who work with Ingraham staff to directly help over 200 Ingraham students experiencing housing and food 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. Did you know that inside the school there is a discreet room called the Pride Closet where our students in need can pick up essentials like clothing & shoes, backpacks & school supplies, warm coats & gloves, and a variety of toiletries? If you would like to help us replenish much needed items that are running low, please visit our Amazon wish list here and be sure to select “Bright Futures – Ingraham HS” as the delivery address for direct shipping to the school. Thank you for helping us provide these essential items that so many of us take for granted.  

We’d also like to extend a big THANK YOU to all of our recent graduates who have donated their caps & gowns to Bright Futures. This is a significant expense for graduating families, and for our program, so your donations are very much appreciated. Keep them coming!

If you’d like to learn more about the Bright Futures program, please visit our website for more information, or reach out to committee Chair, Michele Fowler, at foibrightfutures@gmail.com to see how you can get involved.

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 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

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.

School Communication

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

• Students, please start checking your SPS email inbox daily for information from school and read the Friday bulletins. 
• Schoology pages
• Talking Points: A text-based system that sends translated messages to your phone.
• Principal Newsletter: A personal message from Principal Zack Elvig, sent on Mondays.
• Friday Bulletins: We email the school bulletin weekly via a system called School Messenger. It is always updated on the Ingraham website. 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.
