Update: Thank you to those who let us know they did not receive the email about school supplies. Although it was set up correctly, we have confirmed that a Skyward system issue prevented all the emails from sending. We are working to resolve the issue and have posted additional back to school information on our website. We apologize for the confusion and inconvenience.

We are less than three weeks away from the first day of school on Aug. 26! This year we are returning to a more traditional supply model for elementary students. For more information, please see the list below or the letter sent to families last month. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XYoV4iHwIBdaD66QJLwDnfnVJtQJSnjNJlthHuvCaWs/edit?usp=sharing

On behalf of the Mount Baker School District, we extend our sincere gratitude to our 11 retirees for their remarkable 308 combined years of service. Their dedication, compassion, and commitment have shaped the lives of countless students, supported colleagues, and strengthened our community. The impact of their work will continue to be felt for generations, and we wish them all the best in their well-earned retirement.

We are looking forward to our work as partners with the Nooksack Tribe as we identify ways to strengthen opportunities and support for all our students.

Today, June 10, 2026, leadership from the Nooksack Indian Tribe met with Mount Baker School District leadership to continue important discussions focused on strengthening educational partnerships, student support, and long-term collaboration for our children and families.

This meeting resulted in several positive steps forward, including continued work toward a formal Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Tribe and the District, development of a Tribal Liaison position, establishment of regular government-to-government communication and consultation, and ongoing collaboration around culturally responsive education and student success initiatives.

Discussions also included strengthening implementation of Since Time Immemorial curriculum, development of Nooksack-centered educational materials such as the Thirteen Moons teachings, expanding family outreach and student advocacy efforts, improving support systems for Native students, and creating stronger pathways between tribal programs, families, and schools.

Both the Tribe and District expressed a shared commitment to building meaningful relationships that move beyond conversation and toward action, accountability, and lasting partnership. Leadership also discussed opportunities for regular check-ins, school board engagement, collaborative advocacy efforts, and exploring new educational opportunities that support student wellness, cultural identity, and academic achievement.

As we continue preparing for more formal consultation and future collaboration, we remain committed to ensuring the voices, needs, and future of our people and our children remain at the center of this work. We appreciate the willingness of Mount Baker School District leadership to work together in a positive and forward-looking way as we continue building stronger relationships for future generations.
