Board hears ongoing problems from Q migration; ESD13 working on fixes

Vashon Island School District Board of Directors · September 24, 2026

Summary

District leaders described lingering issues from a migration to the Q student‑information system, said many problems have been resolved and that ESD 13 is providing in‑district support; staff warned some gradebook features still frustrate teachers.

District leaders told the board the recent migration to the Q student‑information system and related administrative shifts have created implementation headaches but that many problems are being resolved with outside support.

“Q continues to give us some heartburn, but people are working long and hard to try and get everything online the way it should be,” Superintendent Dr. Mocha said, describing gradebook and grade‑book feature frustrations at the 6–12 level and slower response times while administrative capacity is reduced. The superintendent said the district moved from NWRDC to ESD 13 for back‑office support and that the ESD has provided “elbow assistance” and more responsive help.

Board members noted ESD 13 has agreed to send a team on an upcoming professional‑development day to work with principals, office managers and teachers based on a staff survey of needs. The board and administration said incidents such as misconfigured imports and URL/settings problems have been addressed and families who still experience problems should email the district for help.
