Dear Borderite Families,
As we wrap up the school year and head into summer, I want to thank you for your continued partnership and support. It has been a joy to watch your children grow, learn, and thrive this year!
Looking ahead, we’re excited to begin the next chapter as a unified school community. Starting this fall, Blaine Elementary will serve students in 1st through 5th grade, while the Blaine Elementary – Early Learning Center will be home to our Preschool, Transition to Kindergarten, and Kindergarten learners.
I will continue as the principal for both buildings, and I’m pleased to share that Linsey Pike will serve as the Early Learning Administrator, and Jessie Hettinga will continue supporting grades 1–5 as our Assistant Principal. We’re lucky to have such a dedicated team moving forward.
In August, we’ll share important back-to-school information, including updates on pick-up and drop-off routines. Teacher assignments will be available in Family Access starting August 21st, and the school office will reopen on August 18th. You can expect our first newsletter of the new year to arrive via ParentSquare on August 22nd.
Until then, we wish you a joyful, restful summer. Thank you for being such an important part of our Borderite family!
With gratitude,
Michelle McKeown
Principal, Blaine Elementary School
