As inclusive classrooms expand into more secondary schools next year, we continue strengthening belonging, access and meaningful participation for learners of all abilities. Across our schools, staff show a daily commitment to ensuring every student is seen, supported and included.

Highline is the first school district in Washington state to partner with the DAISY Foundation to recognize school nurses through the DAISY Award program. Highline is also one of ten school districts in the country to launch the program.

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. Highline is continuing a districtwide transition to Microsoft. Staff have been learning and using Microsoft tools since fall 2024. Beginning in the 2026–27 school year, students will use Microsoft 365 tools more regularly for classwork. 

This week's Highline Headlines include information about student sharing wellness through film, access issues on Canvas, the Promise podcast, a reminder about Kindergarten Welcome event and more.
