Blaine School District

We are monitoring the restoration of power to our campuses. We will message any impacts for tomorrow as soon as possible, but that may not be until the morning. We recommend families have an alternate plan for tomorrow just in case. 

Blaine Schools will be lifting the lockout of our campuses at the end of the day, and pick up / student release will occur as usual at 2:50 P.M. A statement with further details regarding the day’s events will be released later this evening.

We currently have an increased law enforcement presence on our central campuses in response to graffiti located in a girls bathroom on the high school campus. Local law enforcement is providing an increased presence on our campus due to an increase in county wide threats of violence. Although there is no verified threat on any of our campuses, we will be securing all campuses while the graffiti is investigated. No one will be permitted to enter or exit the campuses during this time. We will provide another notification when the lockout is lifted. We are grateful for the cooperation of our law enforcement partners for their willingness to respond and work with us during these times.

Route 12 bus is running 15 minutes late this morning.

All Blaine Schools will be operating on our previously scheduled late start time today, Monday, December 6th.

All Blaine School District locations will resume regular schedules and services on Wednesday, November 17, 2021. At this time no alternate bus routes are expected. Should conditions in the Ferndale area cause a closure to I-5 overnight (which is not anticipated), a school closure may be reconsidered. Any change would be announced by 6:30 A.M.

All BSD locations remain closed today, Tuesday, November 16, 2021. Please check our website, app or social media channels after 4:00 P.M. for information regarding a decision for Wednesday.

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.

The School Board will hold a special meeting at 6pm on 11/22/21 to review and discuss a draft redistricting plan. Visit our News Feed article for details at this link: https://www.blainesd.org/article/588166
