Highline Headlines - May 15

Please take 10 to 20 minutes to complete our Family Engagement Survey, open now through June 1. Your feedback helps us improve how we partner with you and support your student.  

There will be no school for all grades on Monday, May 25, in observance of Memorial Day, and Tuesday, May 26. May 26 was originally scheduled as a make-up day, but it does not need to be used. 

Highline is preparing students for the future they choose. One way we do this is by helping students build the digital skills and habits they may use in college, training programs and future careers. Beginning in the 2026–27 school year, students will use Microsoft 365 tools more regularly for classwork. 

Seniors, fill out this survey to share what you plan to do next, and what helped you get ready for life after high school. Your response may be shared on Highline social media to celebrate your journey and inspire future graduates. Take 5 minutes to share, celebrate and inspire. When prompted to log in, students should use their @stu.highlineschools.org account. 

Graduation is around the corner. Take a look at the graduation schedule and review the entry information for your school’s ceremony. As a reminder, noise makers and balloons are not allowed inside the venues. Parking is limited, please consider carpooling.

Highline Public Schools recognized nurses across the district through the DAISY Award program, an international honor celebrating extraordinary nurses.
