Dear Publisher Representative:

The Issaquah School District is currently in the process of selecting Elementary math materials to be implemented in the 2016-17 school year. 

During this adoption process it is requested that you do not contact any district personnel.  Failure to comply with this request could result in disqualification of your company for the review and adoption process.

The district is aware of the great variety of materials available and is investigating them at this time.  We are seeking materials that:

*Utilize best practices and research on student achievement
*Align with Washington State Learning Standards for the Common Core
*Promote standards-based and research-based practices in instruction and assessment
*Provide a comprehensive math program
*Support culturally relevant teaching
*Integrate technology into teaching and learning
*Are gender and bias free

If you have materials that fit the description above, please contact Nancy Stewart, Instructional Support, at stewartn2@issaquah.wednet.edu or (425) 837-7147. All materials must be received at the district prior to January 16, 2015, at 4:00 pm.

Thank you for your assistance.

Sincerely,
 
Emilie Hard
Assistant Superintendent of
Teaching and Learning Services
