With the 2023 calendar year coming to an end, I want to thank you for the opportunities we are provided to serve students, staff, families and the community. We will continue to work hard for each student each day with a robust academic offering and hands-on experiences to help make Blaine the best place in Washington for our students to get a well-rounded education that prepares students to be college, career and citizenship ready.
The spring of 2023 saw Blaine achieve successes in many areas of student activities, including athletics and fine arts, which showed citizens all over the state of Washington the pride we have. The fall of 2023 brought a schedule adjustment of Wednesday late starts that allowed staff dedicated time for meaningful collaboration to address student needs in the classroom setting. We have already seen positive impact from the time staff get to spend together reviewing data and collaborating on next steps to support students.
The Blaine school district has many key issues on the horizon in 2024, including seeking a replacement levy to support educational programs and operations, as well as a bond measure which, among other things, would seek to provide an updated Blaine Middle School facility. More information on these measures can be found on our website at blainesd.org. I hope to see you at upcoming community events or in attendance at our monthly Supper with the Superintendent to answer your questions and work together to continually improve our school district.
On behalf of the board of directors and the entire Blaine school district staff, we would like to take this opportunity to thank the collective communities of Point Roberts, Birch Bay and Blaine for your support in making great things happen for all students.
(Dr. Christopher Granger is the superintendent of the Blaine school district.)
