• Will continuing to operate five middle schools provide enough students at each school to offer the quality of programming and services our community expects?
• Will continuing to operate five middle schools allow an effective and efficient use of financial resources and facilities? 
• What aspects of a middle school experience are important to you?
• If we were to consolidate one middle school, what priorities, ideas and suggestions do you have?

Community members will be provided the opportunity to provide feedback and ask questions in a survey.

Community Forums will be held at each of the five comprehensive middle schools (Chinook, Highland, Odle, Tillicum and Tyee). Participants will review the demographer findings, discuss the implications, and share thoughts with District leaders. The District is committed to deeply listening to the communities we serve. These meetings are open to all members of the public and ensure one meeting for the schools in each middle school attendance zone. Participants will have the option to attend smaller sessions for groups that will be impacted such as dual language, advanced learning etc. or groups that have been historically marginalized or underserved in our education system. Details on these concurrent sessions will be finalized posted on the Middle School Consolidation Study webpage and shared by each school.

Registration Information:

Registration for Jubilee REACH Sports and Activities does not take place in FinalForms. Registration must always be completed by your student. The forms are sent to student e-mail accounts during the registration period.  This is to help us ensure that we don’t receive multiple registrations from the same student. For Jubilee REACH Sports and Activities, we often need to utilize a lottery system when the number of requests exceed our capacity. The lottery determines which students will be placed on the team or a waitlist. Students who are on the waitlist are given a random number to determine their order.  Please review the steps for registration below for more information.

Step 1: Emails and reminders are sent to students. All students will receive an email in their Outlook from one of our Jubilee REACH Site-Coaches with instructions on how to register as well as a link to the registration form. This link is to a Microsoft Form that is only accessible to those with a BSD email address (i.e. your students). Registration will remain open for 2 weeks to allow students from all backgrounds and economic statuses an equal chance to register for Jubilee’s Sports or Activities.

Step 2: Registration Closes/Lottery is performed. After registration has been open for 2 weeks the form will automatically stop accepting responses. Students may still register for activities by emailing their school’s Site-Coach directly (all late registrations will be automatically placed at the bottom of the waitlist, if applicable).

Step 3: Families are notified of placement. The Friday after registration closes all students who registered for a Jubilee REACH Sport or Activity (as well as the parent the student lists) will receive an email notification informing them of their placement as well as some important information about the season. If your student is initially on the team, they will automatically be added to the team in FinalForms.

Please complete the pre-arranged absence form prior to the absence for it to be excused.  Students must obtain teacher and parent signatures.  After they get all teacher signatures, your student will need to turn the completed form in to the attendance office.   This form should be submitted to the attendance office at least 3 days before the planned absence so we have time to process it.  You can find more information about pre-arranged absences on this page:  https://bsd405.org/tyee/report-an-absence/

Going Home Early? Students are to notify the office/clinic when checking out. If your student calls home directly to request you pick them up, please remind them to go to the clinic or office.
