Fall Canned Soup Food Drive for Helpline House

Blakely Holiday Food Drive: From now until next Tuesday 11/26, send your kids to school with canned or boxed soups/broths to be donated to Helpline House to ensure the holiday season is warm and comforting for everyone in our community.

Safety First!

Safety first!

Bainbridge Island winter mornings and evenings are dark (and often rainy), making it difficult for drivers to see students walking or riding bikes. Before your student leaves for the day, please be sure they have the proper equipement to make them as visible as possible. For additional information, please review the tips on the Washington State Department of Transportation website.

BISD Preschool Information

BISD has a preschool program at x̌alilc (Halilts) and Blakely.

Check out the second issue of the Preschool Tidings! This issue we take a closer look at routines and child-owned responsibilities to help regulate a child as well as strategies for both the parent and the student. These are great tips even if your student is older than preschool!

PTO News and Events

PTO and its activities are impossible without your participation, your consideration is tremendously appreciated:

Popcorn Friday Volunteers Needed: Have your kids mentioned Popcorn Fridays? This fun activity is not possible without PTO volunteers. This light volunteer job (about 1 hour) requires popping the popcorn, putting the popcorn in bags, and handing it out to students at recess. It's a great way to be involved, see tons of kids (including your own), and be popular on the playground! Sign up to volunteer here.
