Please watch the video and read all the available information on the Mariner Ticket page BEFORE making your ticket purchases.

We're so proud. Go Wolf Pack! Tridents up!

CALLING ALL DADS (and moms, but we really want some dads). You're invited to play at recess on Fridays between 10 a.m. and noon.

Did you know we only have one recess coach this year? Coach Steve is a wonderful asset to our school, but it never hurts to have more adults engaging with our kiddos.

If you work remotely or have a flexible schedule, consider this opportunity to volunteer an hour of your time. You must first complete the district volunteer application, and then sign up through our Sign-Up Genius.

Our slots are on Fridays, but you're welcome other days of the week. Contact Kate with any questions or concerns.

Registration is open to for fall 2025 Promise-K and Kindergarteners. All children who will be five before Sept. 1, 2025, can register online Bellingham Public School's kindergarten webpage.

Children may enter Promise K based on ability and/or need, including social emotional or developmental needs. If you are interested in seeing if your child may be eligible, visit BPC's Promise-K webpage or submit the online interest form. 

Questions about Kindergarten or Promise K? If you have any questions, please contact Gladys Serrano in the Department of Teaching and Learning or call 360-676-6488.  

And if you're a new Promise-K or Kindergarten family, visit this page often for updates over the summer concerning playdates, open houses, and joining the PTA.
