BHS Community Newsletter ~ June 11, 2026

As the school year comes to a close, we want to thank the entire BHS community for your generosity and support. Through your donations and volunteer efforts, we were able to provide teacher and staff appreciation events, enhance student activities like the inaugural Homecoming Carnival, and deliver supplemental classroom resources. 

The school spirit on Bainbridge Island is truly unmatched, and we are grateful to everyone who helped make this year a success. 

With appreciation,

The 2025–2026 BHS PTSO Board

As we near Summer Break, we want to ensure every student in our community stays fueled and ready for fun! Helpline House, in partnership with Bainbridge Island Rotary, is proud to offer the Kids’ Pantry program to provide supplemental groceries for local families.These bags are for any youth (ages infancy-18) in need of additional food during the summer break. Bags contain enough food for 1 youth for a week.

If your family could benefit from extra groceries over the summer, you can stop by for a pick-up:

We know that work schedules and transportation can sometimes make it difficult to get to Helpline House. If you are unable to make it during pick-up hours, Rotary volunteers are available to deliver groceries directly to your home.

Please contact Sarah Frost, sfrost@bisd303.org, to coordinate a drop-off time that works for your family.

BISD will be offering credit recovery for any student who failed a core, academic course. Summer school will be supported and run by Eagle Harbor High School staff and will be an online, self-paced program that runs June 23rd-August 30th. Students must complete their course no later than August 30th- no extensions will be given. BHS Counselors/EHHS staff will be reaching out to students and families about the online course and expectations once semester 2 grades are finalized.

Rising seniors - is your student applying to a 4-year college? Please read our college counseling update on what your student should be doing over the summer. We strongly advise students to start working on their applications/essay(s) and finalizing their college list before school starts!

The City of Bainbridge Island (COBI) Child Reunification Team (CRT) and Bainbridge Prepares, are creating a comprehensive plan for several kinds of potential Bainbridge Island emergencies, including a major event that might prevent families from reuniting with their children for several days.

On July 23 we will be running drill at Bainbridge High School to practice the process of reunifying parents and children. This is an invite for "kid" actors (and adult chaperones). We could also use teens to act either as older siblings or adults. Age 8-18 volunteers needed.

If you have a youth group that might like to participate, please reach out! We will collect volunteers via this form and get back to you promptly with more information.
