Dr. Granger's Community Message May 21, 2021

Good evening students, staff, families and community,

The month of May is progressing right along and we are getting closer to the end of the school year and to celebrating our graduating seniors. We are looking forward to 2021-2022 and welcoming all students back to full time in-person learning.

Live Event Steaming
We have updated our District YouTube channel for Live Events to include upcoming graduation. It is now called Borderites Live. You will also find Blaine High School basketball games on this channel beginning with tonight’s games.

Student Vaccine Opportunity
While the COVID vaccine is not listed as a required vaccination for school, we wanted to share information with our families who may be interested in a vaccine for students now that it is available to students ages 12-15. 

Here is the link to schedule an appointment for those who are interested:  https://myphschedule.peacehealth.org/Myphschedule/openscheduling?specialty=233&hidespecialtysection=1

Summer 2021 - Stadium Athletic Activities
We are in the process of planning opportunities for summer activities to help students stay active and to prepare for 2021-2022 athletics. As part of this process, we are determining what schedules our coaches are putting together for the student athletes. Once we have finalized those schedules, we will be working on some times for community access for the stadium and track.

Summer 2021 - Device Needs
School devices issued to students in the current school year must be returned prior to the last day of school. However, we understand there are families who do not have a personal device at home to allow students the option of accessing online resources provided by the district in the summer months. Parents are asked to respond to the Summer 2021 Devices survey to help the district meet this need for students who do not have access to a personal device at home. If you do not have any devices in your home, please respond to the survey by May 28. Thank you! 

Upcoming Events

  • May 24: School Board Meeting
  • May 31: No School - Memorial Day holiday 
  • June 11: BHS Graduation 

It is a great night to be a Borderite, and, as always, a great night to be your superintendent. 

Sincerely,

Dr. Christopher Granger
Every Student. Every Day. In a New Way!
