If you were not able to pick up a device this week or you have a broken device to exchange, please come to this device pick up event. We have brand new Chromebooks for 2-5th grade students. If you still have an older device from last year, bring it on this day and exchange it for a brand new one.

9/3, 9/4 and 9/8 - FAMILY CONNECTIONS CONFERENCES:
Your child’s teacher will contact you to schedule a conference for you and your students some time the week of Sept 3. The purpose of this conference is to get to you know and your family better and for you to meet the teacher. You will also learn your child’s specific schedule for distance learning.
9/3 - OPTIONAL LEARNING SUPPLIES PACK PICK UP FOR FAMILIES IN NEED:
If you are unable to purchase school supplies for distance learning, Highline School District we will be traveling to select bus stops to hand out bags of school supplies provided by the Highline Schools Foundation. Backpacks will not be provided this year, as resources have been directed to supporting students and families with groceries and other necessities.
The bags will contain school supplies for either elementary or secondary students. They will contain items such as spiral notebooks, composition notebooks, pens, pencils, crayons and other school supplies.
