END OF YEAR REMINDERS

Are you moving over the summer?

If you are not returning to BISD schools, please contact Kyanne Hawkins in the office at 206-780-2060 to let us know your plans!

This helps us with enrollment and placement. Thanks for your help.

Are you missing a coat? Lunch box? Water Bottle?

Our lost and found is overflowing. Please remind your student to check the lost and found in the entry hall. If anything has a name on it we will return to the student. All remaining items will be donated at the end of the school year.

COMMUNICATIONS SURVEY

Last year, BISD underwent a communications audit, which included a survey. This was an incredibly valuable tool, provided insight and helped set communication goals to improve our practices.

It is time again to evaluate what is working and how we can improve.
Please take the survey that best fits you:
- Parent/Guardian Survey
- Community Member Survey

You are not asked to provide your name/email address and your responses will remain anonymous. Your honest feedback helps shape the focus for next year (and beyond). The survey should only take a few minutes to complete and will close on Friday, May 24.

Thank you!
