• Major earthwork will be occurring this summer and neighbors may experience dust, equipment noise, and vibrations at various times.
• The contractor will utilize best management practices to limit disruption and inconvenience and comply with the City of Bremerton’s noise ordinance.

Thank you for your patience, Mountain View Middle School neighbors, students, staff and families!

The Bremerton School District has begun taking the initial steps to explore the possibility of a “balanced calendar.” Last week, you should have received an email from the Bremerton School District inviting you to complete a brief survey.

Your input is very important. If you have not taken the survey, we hope you will take a few moments to do so. The survey will be open through midnight on Wednesday, May 24.

Thank you!

Bremerton School District's Restorative Program is endeavoring to create Our Beloved Community. Our Beloved Community is a learning environment where all of our scholars feel cared for. A place absent of violence, bigotry, and hate.

We believe that humans are holistic beings, and we must increase our awareness of our whole selves, in order to grow. If we are going to create a healthier, happier school climate, if we are going to close the achievement gap, if we are going to create competitive workers and forward thinking citizens, we are going to have to all work together, and strive to create our own "beloved community."

With care and compassion driving us, partnered with the use of restorative practices, we will transform our schools.

We at Bremerton School District believe that if school officials, students, parents, and community all work together in a collaborative and inclusive manner, that we can and will accomplish this.

You are cordially invited to observe the Beloved Community Listening Circle on Monday, June 12, 2023 at 5:30 to 7:30 pm via Zoom Webinar.

You will be observing students, parents, teachers, administration, community members and organizations sharing their hopes and expectations for Bremerton Schools and our Beloved Community. We are using the restorative circle process where every voice within the circle will be heard. Community members online will have an opportunity to post questions in the Q & A during the webinar.

Over the course of the next year, we will be holding monthly listening circles where all will have the opportunity to participate in-person and share their voice.

Please join us on this endeavor as we work together to transform our schools using restorative practices, inclusivity, love and shared humanity.

Monday, June 12, 5:30 - 7:30 p.m.
