Given the realities of tragedies that happen in the world, conversations about emergencies and violence are very scary for our students, staff, and families. We also understand it is necessary to prepare for such emergencies, and that training and drills are important components of that practice. By working together – students, staff, and families may better ensure safety on our campus. For additional information and resources, please be sure to visit the BSD Safety & Security Page.

& Korean Heritage Language Ambassadors

To Sign Up: Korean Cultural Event Signup

As you may be aware, Bellevue School District is in the early phases of introducing Heritage Language Programs across the district. This year, Arabic was launched at Ardmore Elementary. BSD is considering expansion into a Korean Heritage Language program and is seeking Korean Heritage students who might be seeking a leadership opportunity and are enthusiastic about becoming a ‘Heritage Language Ambassador’. This role will entail the coordination of heritage language students for listening sessions and serving as a liaison between the district and the school. If you have such a student in mind, please contact Principal Byron Lillie (lillieb@bsd405.org) with your student’s name.

BSD WISC, Baker Room

12241 Main Street; Bellevue, WA 98005

How do you talk to your child about sexual health? What will they learn in 7^th/10^th grade Health class? Secondary Health teachers invite you to a F.L.A.S.H. (Family Life and Sexual Health) and HIV/AIDS curriculum preview/education evening. This is an opportunity for Health parents/guardians (students welcome too!) to be introduced to and ask questions about the sexual health curriculum prior to classroom instruction and receive modification/opt out options if necessary. Please see Senate Bill 5395 for the updated Washington State Healthy Youth Act and BSD procedures 2125 and 2126 for details.

1. My student forgot to bring their laptop to school today. What should we do?

1. Please do not bring it to school – we have a set of single-day loaner laptops in the Library. These are intended for students who forgot theirs at home so they can get through a day. If a student forgets their laptop at home, please tell your student to notify their 1st period teacher, or parents may call the Main Office to notify our Tech Support. We will arrange to deliver one to the student. Single-day loaner laptops are not to travel home with the student, and will be collected by the end of 7^th period.

1. My student’s laptop isn’t working properly. What should I do to get them help?

1. Students should come to the Library before school (8:00-8:25) or during their lunch period. If significant repair ir required, we will issue multi-day loaner laptops which are OK to travel home with students in the interim.
