We're Marching into March!
We want to hear from you!
Given the budget constraints for this upcoming year, we must prioritize the supports that have had the greatest impact on students and families. In this survey you will find the services we provide students to support their academic growth and social emotional needs in addition to classroom instruction. By completing this survey, you will allow us to prioritize things that matter to you in our next school year. So please make sure you take our survey.

Communicating with our Teachers
Odessa Brown’s School Based Health Center
One of the amazing advantages of attending BHIS is our partnership with the school-based health care program with Odessa Brown. There seem to be misconceptions about who can and can't sign up with Odessa Brown's School Based Health Clinic (SBHC) here at BHIS. So, to be clear, everyone who attends BHIS can and should register to receive care through Odessa Brown's SBHC. It does not matter whether or not you have insurance. If your child already has a primary care physician, you may still use the Odessa Brown SBHC at BHIS. You will not be replacing your child's primary care physician by signing up. Think of it as enhancing what you currently have. Some of the services offered by the SBHC at BHIS include wellness checks, immunizations, and physicals. Your child can also be seen when they are not feeling well. These things can be done right here at BHIS, no need to worry about picking your child up and driving anywhere. The SBHC also has a licensed mental health therapist available to help students who need additional support at school. If you have not registered with Odessa Brown make sure that you do, as your child can only access this program after registration. If you would like to register, please complete the forms below. If you have any questions or need these forms in Spanish or Mandarin, please reach out to victoria.rojasreyes@seattlechildrens.org
