Elementary Dual Immersion Meetings 
Image In February, 2011, BCSD administrators held a district-wide Dual Immersion meeting that reviewed the strengths and challenges of the elementary Dual Immersion program as part of a process of continual improvement that occurs with all our programs. Since then we have held over twenty meetings for staff, parents and the Board focused on resolving challenges and improving the educational opportunities for all students in BCSD. At the September Board of Trustees meeting, the Board of Trustees voted to pursue two options for the future of the elementary Dual Immersion program.

Option 1) Create a Magnet School at Woodside for Dual Immersion students and send Woodside non-DI students to Bellevue and Hailey.

Option 2) Maintain one classroom of Dual Immersion per grade level at each of the four neighborhood elementary schools. One class of Dual Immersion would continue at Hemingway Elementary with either option.

We have scheduled a series of meetings at Woodside Elementary and the Community Campus. Please see the schedule linked below.

In addition to the meetings, all staff and all parents will have an opportunity to take a survey. Look for details in the BCSD Weekly Update next week.

Attend Coffee with the Community  
Patrons and parents are invited to meet with BCSD Board of Trustees and Administrators at our monthly Coffee with the Community. No agenda, no presentation, just dialogue over a cup of coffee. Come and ask any question you want. All coffees will be held on the first Wednesday of every month.  Read the BCSD Weekly Update for future locations.
