Blaine School District Early Release 11/15/21 11:30 A.M.
Due to drastic and rapid changes in road conditions, all Blaine School District campuses will be releasing students at 11:30 A.M. today in order to allow time for a safe return home. K-2 students who do not have an adult to receive them from the school bus will be brought back to the school until arrangements can be made for them. The same will apply for students who are normally parent pick up.
Parents of Student Drivers: Please be aware that road conditions have changed dramatically since your student drove to school this morning. Any student who wishes may leave their car at school and take school transportation home.
Our food service staff are working to be able to provide grab and go lunches for all students by 11:30.
Monday November 15 Bus 2 Change -
Due to downed trees, Giles Rd students should plan on meeting the bus at either Giles and White Rd at 7:30 or Giles and Haynie Rd at 7:40.
Out of an abundance of caution, school will be cancelled tomorrow, Tuesday, November 16th. While we did give consideration to a remote learning day, the potential challenges with electricity in some areas led us to the decision to cancel all school activities, including extra curricular, for tomorrow.
Join us for a Community Q&A with Dr. Granger tonight, Weds. 11/3, at 6:00 P.M.

ATTENTION FAMILIES OF STUDENT ATHLETES:
Students whose families are approved for Free and Reduced Lunch are also eligible for free/reduced ASB cards and other participation fees, so apply today through Skyward Family Access. Be sure to complete the Consent to Share Form, so schools will know your student is eligible for those savings.
We hope to have teacher assignments, schedules and bus route information available in Skyward by Wednesday, August 25th. Enrollment and staffing continue to fluctuate, making last minute adjustments necessary. We are trying to avoid releasing information that is still subject to change. However, Skyward is available now to apply for the Free and Reduced Lunch program, which is more than a meal application and could include other benefits for your student as well as others across the district. If you think you might be eligible, please apply today.
