Coho Connection 05/12/26

This month the following students were honored for outstanding spirit:

These students invited a friend to attend a pizza party with Mr. Crandall. Thank you to That's a Some Pizza and PTO for sponsoring our student incentive program. The nominations are made in reference to Sakai's Four R's: Responsible, Respectful, Reasonable, Reliable.  ​​​​

Thank you to all the volunteers who provided our staff with delicious food during staff appreciation week.

Our staff enjoyed the breakfast, lunch and snacks tremendously and felt so appreciated!​

We value the important perspective that families bring and invite parents/guardians to share information that may help us create the most supportive placement for their child. This may include:

While we carefully consider all input, we are not able to accommodate requests for specific teachers or placement with particular friends.

Parent/guardian input should be submitted in writing using the electronic Google Parent/Guardian Placement Input Form.

Thank you for partnering with us in this thoughtful process.

Bike to School Day is on May 15th. This is the date for all schools in our district. Bike to School Day is a really fun day at Sakai and a good opportunity to reinforce safe biking habits and healthy choices. Here is the map of our chaperoned rides. If you can, please consider signing up to volunteer. Aside from biking to and from school, students will also get to ride their bikes at recess on a course outlined on the field (complete with BIPD speedometer). We need lots of help to make it a safe and successful day. Also, if your child would like to participate but doesn’t have a bike, let me know. We have received some bikes in great shape we can loan.

Please remember that all volunteers who help in the classroom, on field trips, and other various activities must be cleared by the district: Volunteering with BISD. The approval process can take up to two weeks. Once approved, you are ready to volunteer and your approval is valid for two years.

Please bring your driver's license or id each time you sign into any school in the district.

As we head into the final weeks of the school year, it’s very common for children to feel tired and a bit less motivated—especially as summer gets closer! While the end-of-year slump is normal, coming to school each day still makes a big difference for your child’s learning, routines, and confidence.

A few simple ideas can help make mornings smoother and support strong attendance through the finish line:

Thank you for partnering with us to help your child push through the last stretch of the school year and finish strong. Your support at home makes a big difference!

If you know your student will not attend BISD in the fall, please let us know by contacting the school office, or by sending an email to: studentrecords@bisd303.org with your educational plan so that we may adjust our records accordingly.

 

Our Annual Back to school Check-in process (ABC) is now open and is available by logging in to your Family Access account. Look in the left menu and choose: ABC 26-27 to move through the steps to complete this process ASAP.

It should take about 15 minutes (or less!) to complete the process for each child in your household.

This data collection allows BISD to gather information regarding your students’ plans for the upcoming year. Having an accurate understanding of the number of expected students helps us determine staffing needs, class size and building capacity to better serve our students. In addition to this valuable information, it allows BISD to fulfill its annual notification requirements for public schools in Washington state.

The ABC 26-27 process must be completed for ALL students in the district whether they are brand new to the district or returning.

*NOTE: For students with more than one family, ONLY the Primary Family will have access to complete the ABC’s. Guardians of Non-Primary Families will have “read-only” access. If this is a hardship for your family, please contact the school office for guidance, or send an email to studentrecords@bisd303.org. All families have the ability to make changes to their specific demographic information at any time via Family Access>Student Info>Change Requests link (in the top right corner).
