BSD Family Updates
For Bremerton School District students & families
May 2025
Thank you to all "be Bremerton" volunteers!
We had a great time during our annual "be Bremerton" event on Saturday! Thanks to all the volunteers who came out to beautify Bremerton!
This event is the District's annual day of service to show the Bremerton Community and the City of Bremerton our thanks for their tremendous support of the Bremerton School District and our students. See more photos here.

Title I Parent & Family Feedback Survey
We value your voice!
Our District receives funding through Title I, Part A, a federal program that provides extra support to help all students succeed in school. This program helps us offer additional instruction and resources so all students can meet challenging state academic standards and close learning gaps.
Here’s how we currently support students through Title I:
Small group instruction and interventions
Targeted, specialized teaching
Ongoing progress monitoring
Teacher-student conferences focused on academic goals
Activities that engage parents and families
As we begin planning for next school year, we want your input. Your feedback helps us ensure our Title I program meets the needs of your student and your family in meaningful ways.
Please take a few minutes to complete the survey and share your thoughts. Thank you for being a valued partner in your child’s education!
2025 Summer Meal locations are now available!
Highly Capable Program review
A successful program reviews the services and needs of students that it serves. The Bremerton School District is currently reviewing the K-12 Highly Capable Program and services to ensure that they are grounded in best practice and meeting the cognitive, social, and emotional needs of students. As a part of that review, we are collecting input from staff, students, and families.
We need your help! We invite you to complete a short survey that will take less than 10 minutes of your time and provide valuable insights. [survey in English, survey in Spanish] Thank you!
The window for completing the survey is 5/5/2025 to 5/15/2025. If you have questions, or would like more information, please contact Wendy Bender wendy.bender@BremertonSchools.org or Jen Flo at jflo@esd113.org.
Thank you for your help!
Reminder for families of Native American or Alaska Native heritage
The Bremerton School District Native American/Alaskan Native Program receives funding through a federal grant from the Office of Indian Education. Our grant funding is based on the number of Title VI Student Eligibility Certification Forms (506 forms) received for each active student. If your student is of Native American or Alaska Native heritage and you haven't yet completed this form, we invite you to complete the 506 form today here! Completed forms can be emailed to Wendy.Bender@bremertonschools.org or returned to your school’s office.
May is Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month
In the month of May we take time to reflect and celebrate the important role that Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (AANHPIs) have played in our shared history, and celebrate the rich tapestry of cultures, traditions, and achievements of AANHPI communities.
May 5-9 is Teacher Appreciation Week
As we celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week, we want to encourage you to join us in recognizing the extraordinary individuals who dedicate their lives to educating and inspiring our children. Teachers are more than just instructors; they are mentors, role models, and guides who shape the future, one student at a time.
We hope you'll take a moment this week to express your gratitude to your child's teacher(s). A simple note of thanks or a heartfelt email can make a world of difference.
