Annual Back to School Check-in (ABC)
The Annual Back-to-school Check-in (ABC) process has been completed for 70% of students. This annual process lets us know that your student(s) are returning to our schools for 2025-26 and allows parents/guardians to review annual information. 

The ABCs must be completed for all students attending BISD schools in 2025-26, including both new and returning students. Access the ABCs by logging into your Family Access account. It should take about 15 minutes (or less!) to complete. You must complete your ABC check-in to be able to find out your child's teacher on August26th.

Flexible Boundaries Reminder

Did you know that BISD utilizes flexible boundaries? This means that there are many areas of the Island (unless you live solidly South, i.e. Lynwood Center or solidly North, i.e Seabold) that are considered a flexible boundary area between two (or sometimes three) of our preK-4th Grade neighborhood schools-Blakely, Ordway or x̌alilc. Most other areas are a flexible boundary and school assignments will not be confirmed until 3 pm 8/26. Even if it appears in Skyward that your child is assigned one elementary school, that could change before that date.

Per Policy 3130 and Procedure 3130: The establishment of attendance area boundaries for the elementary schools

These events are perceived as appropriate for students, parents, and families. Interested in submitting news and events? Learn how to do so by visiting our webpage, Distributing News & Events.
