Visit Cascade, Chinook or Sylvester middle schools or CHOICE Academy to see how these buildings serve students today and learn about the projects proposed in Highline’s Nov. 3 school construction bond.

This week's Highline Headlines includes information about the November tech levy, when a school has power outages, the family action committee and more. 

Sometimes our schools might lose phone and internet service. When there is an outage, here is what you need to know to keep everyone safe and learning on track.

Highline families are invited to join Family University: Understanding Public School Systems, a learning series hosted by the Family and Community Engagement Team. Through interactive sessions, families will learn how the public school system works, better understand their rights and responsibilities, build stronger partnerships with schools and access tools to support their child's success.

The school construction bond would fund school improvement projects districtwide. The bond would replace aging building systems, complete critical facility upgrades, so existing schools continue serving students and the community for years to come. 

This week's Highline Headlines includes information about technology that supports student learning, joining the Family Action Committee, budget planning for 2027-28, the 2026 Burien Brat Trot and more. 

Like many school districts across Washington, Highline continues to face funding challenges. Our goal is to make changes that reduce ongoing costs and put Highline in stronger financial footing for the years ahead. We have taken a multi-year approach to this work so we can make decisions based on the most current information. 

The levy would resume funding technology used for instruction, classroom support, internet access and district systems. This includes classroom technology, instructional software, wireless networks, infrastructure and student and staff devices.

This week's Highline Headlines include information about learning spaces designed to prepare students for the future, when to keep your child home, our emergency response protocol and more.
