Important scheduling update!

📅 Schedule Change for 2026-27 — every week is a full week!

Starting September 1, our students are in school full days, Monday through Friday. We've traded weekly early release for one release day a month, which gives our amazing educators real time together to dig into curriculum, instruction, and assessment.

First one up: Monday, September 28 — no school for students. Pop it on the calendar now! 🗓️

Starting kindergarten is a big adventure! Join Bainbridge Schools Foundation for a fun afternoon where incoming kindergarteners and their families can meet new friends, enjoy snacks and cotton candy, play together, and start making connections before the first day of school.

Wednesday, August 19
4:00–6:00 PM
Owen's Playground

Come meet future classmates from Blakely, Halilts, Mosaic, Odyssey, and Ordway, and begin building friendships across our community.

While this event is especially for incoming kindergarteners, everyone is welcome! Bring your siblings, neighbors, and anyone else who's up for an afternoon of summer fun.

We can't wait to see you there! 💙

Giant Check Day is quickly becoming one of our favorite BSF traditions!

Last night, Bainbridge Schools Foundation had the honor of presenting a $450,000 check to Bainbridge Island School District, fulfilling this year's pledge to support students, educators, and schools across the district.

This investment represents a year of generosity from across our community and a shared commitment to strong public schools. We were especially grateful to be joined by student representatives from across the district, who helped present the check on behalf of the many students who benefit from academic intervention, educator support, and library and enrichment resources funded through BSF's annual pledge.

Thank you to every donor, sponsor, volunteer, and community supporter who helped make this possible! Your generosity continues to make a meaningful difference for Bainbridge students and educators year after year. We are so thankful! 💙
