Bellevue School District Hosts School Start Forum Wednesday

BELLEVUE, WA — Bellevue School District Superintendent Dr. Ivan Duran will host a virtual forum on Wednesday afternoon, answering parents' questions ahead of the new school year, which begins in early September.

Parents can watch and participate in the School Start Families Forum online via Microsoft Teams, beginning at 4 p.m.

• When: Wednesday, August 26 from 4 to 5 p.m.
• Where: Microsoft Teams: Watch this live event in Microsoft Teams.

Another webinar, tailored specifically for families with elementary students, is scheduled for Monday, Aug. 31.

Like most Washington school districts, Bellevue will begin fall instruction with remote learning plans for all students. If health officials determine conditions are safe enough to resume some in-person instruction later in the year, the district plans to shift to a hybrid learning model.

According to the district, all students will be provided with devices to access classes. Kindergarteners and 1st-grade students will have access to iPads, while 2nd - 12th graders will get laptops. Distribution began Aug. 17 and will continue until Sept. 2.
