Blaine Elementary School

Winter Festival - Fur for All Ages is tonight, Mon. Dec. 12th from 7-9 PM in the BMS Cafeteria. BHS TSA sponsors this fundraising event as part of their Cancer Awareness Week. Entrance to the event is by donation, with all proceeds going to the American Cancer Society.

Monday, December 5th, is a regularly scheduled late start. All schools will begin two hours late.

All Blaine School District locations will operate on a two hour late start today, Wednesday, November 30th, due to weather related road conditions. There will be NO AM Preschool. Transportation Route Adjustments can be found on our website.

Announcements about weather related schedule changes are typically made between 5:30-6 am and communicated by phone, email, app and social media channels. Stay safe and stay tuned.

There have been no active shooting events and no actionable threats to any of our schools. There have been calls to 911 indicating an event or threat in progress at schools throughout the region, but officials assure us they have all been false, referring to them as “hoaxes”.

Reminder: Students K-5 should bring their food donation contributions to school on Mon. for Food Drive. Spare change for the coin drive portion of the campaign can be delivered to the office through Weds. #BlaineGivesBack #MakeRealChange

All students in grades K-8 will have early release this Mon-Thurs at 12:50 for conferences.
