COVID-19 Information

Most students in Bellingham Public Schools remain in Stage 1 of our Reconnect Plan and some have transitioned to stages 2 and 3. Students are participating in remote, at-home learning daily, which includes both real-time, live lessons mixed with independent, supported learning.

Returning to school in-person? Remember to fill out the health attestation.

Visit Resources for more information about school meals, child care, tech support and other needs.
