Community rallies behind schools during tough times: 

Congratulations to all the volunteers of the Bellevue Schools Foundation and to the generous spirit of the Bellevue community when it comes to educating its children.  Their annual Spring for Schools luncheon generated $564,150, far exceeding this year’s goals for the event. The funds will go towards general foundation priorities of bridging the achievement gap, academic support and teaching excellence.  A heartfelt thanks from all of us in the school district for your dedication to educational quality for all our students.

The Top of the Class:  


On June 9, 2009, Newsweek released its annual report of top U.S. high schools and we are excited to announce that five of our high schools ranked in the top 100 high schools in America.  View ranking of Bellevue schools or Go to Newsweek article > 

Newsweek has ranked* public schools since 1998, when Washington Post Education Reporter, Jay Mathews, devised a ratio by taking the number of AP and IB tests taken by all students and dividing them by the number of graduating seniors to arrive at a Challenge Index.

High School Math Textbook Adoption


The Bellevue School District is in the process of a high school mathematics textbook adoption.  During the remainder of this school year and first semester 2009, the district will be piloting textbooks in mathematics classrooms.  The process will culminate in a recommendation for adoption to use beginning in the 2010-2011 school year.

Thank you for your interest in applying to serve on the High School Mathematics Materials Selection Committee.  With over 40 applicants coming with a rich variety of backgrounds and all expressing a common interest in offering our students a quality math education and in choosing the best possible instructional materials to help support this goal, it was very challenging for the Superintendent’s Cabinet to limit the selection.  Parent representatives on the High School Mathematics Materials Selection Committee are:

Genevieve Guinn – parent of a Chinook Middle School 7th grader: Ms. Guinn has background as a mechanical designer.
Sally Raftery – parent of a Tillicum Middle School 8th grader: Ms. Raftery has a degree in electrical engineering.
Dallas Evans – parent of an Interlake High School 9th grader: Mr. Evans has a background in economics and is a financial planner.
Lori Stutsman – parent of a Newport High School 10th grader: Ms. Stutsman is president of a marketing company.

H1N1 influenza 'flu'


H1N1 (Swine Flu) Update from King County Health Department:
We can expect more reports of people with H1N1 in our county, as it now appears to be circulating widely in our community.  So far the virus appears to have the same level of severity as regular seasonal flu. We continue to recommend that each of us respond to this outbreak as we would during a regular flu season: stay home when sick, cover coughs and sneezes and wash hands often. Alcohol-based hand sanitizers are also effective if soap and water are not readily available.

All parents are advised to keep their students home for seven calendar days if they show signs of H1N1, such as a high temperature (Seattle and King County Public Health: H1N1 influenza 'flu' information).

As we are provided with additional information and direction from the Health Department we will update the district website
H1N1 Flu Letter to Parents/Guardians and Community | Bellevue School District Health Services Web page
