School safety is a top priority at our school and our school safety committee has asked that the following procedures and instructions be shared out to our community at Blaine. For specific details around Seattle School District's safety policies please visit their website.

Below you will find information on: a) what we do at Blaine to help prepare for unpredictable events and ensure the safety of our students, staff, volunteers, and community members on our campus, and b) what we need YOU to do on a daily basis and in case of emergencies, whether you are on or off our campus. We realize this page is fraught with elements of the unknown, perhaps leaving more questions than answers. This will by no means answer every what-if question or scenario that could possibly come up, but it will give you some guidelines of which you need to be aware.

The Seattle School Board adopted the 2017-18 school calendar at the June 7 board meeting.

Students will be released 75 minutes early every Wednesday, except for the first day of school. This is to support improved teacher collaboration and student academic performance.
