We want to ensure our school calendar is reflective of the needs of our community and gather input on how we can best meet those needs.

If you haven't had a chance share your thoughts or rate other thoughts that others have shared in in our "ThoughtExchange" survey, there is still time! The survey is open through this Sunday, November 7.

In addition to sharing your own thoughts, we'll hope you will take a moment to rate at least 20-30 of the thoughts survey that others have shared.

Please keep in mind:

• This exchange is confidential.

• Your thoughts will be shared, but not your identity.

• Please be polite and respectful as you share and rate thoughts.

• If you see a thought that is rude, hurtful or identifies a person or group, you can report it by clicking in the upper right corner of the thought.

• You do not need to rate all thoughts in this exchange.

We appreciate your time - and thoughts!

Students will be bringing home Federal Impact Aid surveys this week. Please complete the survey and return it to school with your student(s) ASAP!

The school district only reports the number of students living with families who live on and/or work on federal property. We do not report information about individual students.

It is important to complete all appropriate sections, sign and date the form. Include your actual work location (building and address) as of November 1, 2021 only if you are a federal employee, contractor or work for private business located on Federal/tribal property.

These records are kept strictly confidential and only used to apply for Federal Impact Aid.

Please return your completed form to your student’s school.

Thank you!

For the fourth year in a row, the Bremerton School Board has been named a "Board of Distinction" for 2021 for medium-sized school districts (2,001-9,000 student FTE) by the Washington State School Directors Association (WSSDA).

To be awarded, boards had to show a clear link between their leadership in applying the Washington School Board Standards and closing gaps that impact student success.

Congratulations and thank you to the Bremerton School Board Directors for their tireless dedication to the Bremerton School District. Learn more here!
