The state has approved Issaquah School District’s request to waive the school day on Wednesday, June 25, 2025. This waiver was requested due to weather-related closures earlier in the school year.

BLMS would love your continued support in stocking up for our Buddy Money Market. Students earn “Buddy Money” by following our Bulldog Expectations, which they can then spend in our Buddy Money Market every Thursday during lunch. We have put together an Amazon Wish List to offset the cost of these fun items for our students - which will ship directly to the school. THANK YOU!
