We have once again this year received notification, from U.S. News, that Blaine High School has been identified for "Silver Medal" status, resulting from the overall number of students participating in AP courses. Blaine High School is ranked 39th overall in the State of Washington, with the AP course participation rate at 38% of all students. We are proud of the accomplishments of these students, and concurrently applaud those staff members who consistently commit to assuring that academic offerings of the highest level of rigor remain available to such a significant number of students.

Nicely done Borderites!

The Blaine School District Board of Directors has formally approved the 2013-14 school year calendar. Parents and patrons can link to the calendar here.

Expectations remain high for 2012-13 to be a productive year for the students and staff of the Blaine School District. Specifically, we will see three significant initiatives take shape at the building and classroom levels.

1. The integration of the highly rigorous "Common Core Standards" at all grade levels in both Mathematics and English/Language Arts.

2. The initial steps of transition to a new State Assessment System ("Smarter Balanced Assessment") which will align with the new "Common Core Standards", while placing a higher level of emphasis on incremental measures of student progress.

3. The implementation of a new evaluation system for both teachers and principals, with accountability to the verification of consistent academic growth for all students.

This overall body of work is easily one of the most ambitious (collective) undertakings being assumed by school districts over multiple decades. The staff of Blaine School District is up to the challenge, as we continue to aspire to do all that is possible to assure for the highest possible level of positive impact on the academic progress of all students.

The Blaine School District Board of Directors took formal action on the 2012-13 Comprehensive Plan during their October 22, 2012 regular meeting. The Comprehensive Plan represents both District and individual Building/Department work slated for the current program year. The integration of Common Core State Standards, new State Assessments, and a new Principal and Teacher Performance Evaluation System, over the next three years, will present some uniquely complex challenges across the system. The staff of the Blaine School District will continue to strive for maximum efficiency in this work, while committing to making those decisions that best assure for higher levels of overall student performance.
