Open Doors Career & Academic Program

Important update about the BSD Open Doors program:

The Open Doors program in the Bremerton School District started in 2015 with the goal of serving students who had left the traditional school setting. Over the years we have been committed to improving how we offer the flexibility and support our students need to successfully reach their goals. To that end, we will be transitioning to an online academic program with one-on-one resource support through our partnership with Graduation Alliance starting in September, 2022.

What does this mean for our students?
--The Open Doors school building is closing on August 24, 2022.
--GED tutoring will be available online through Graduation Alliance.
--Students can work toward completing their high-school diploma after they receive their GED using the Graduation Alliance platform and support system.
--Students will be able to meet with a local advocate weekly to discuss challenges.
--Students will have access to all BSD resources (including hotspots for Internet access, 24/7 tutoring through Tutor Me, access to breakfast and lunch, Orca Cards, and the health clinic at Mountain View Middle School and Bremerton High School).
--Students will continue to have access to classes through West --Sound Tech Skills Center and Running Start.

Graduation Alliance will support our students by offering:
--Local Advocate - to support students through weekly one-on-one meetings
--Academic Coach - to support and monitor students’ academic progress
--Online academic tutoring
--Laptop computers

Registration Process:
--Complete registration paperwork through the Bremerton School District
--Meet with the local advocate,
--Get started on your future!

Open Doors will continue to be available 11:00-5:00 on-site at 1300 Sylvan Way through August 18, 2022 to assist current or prospective Open Doors students.

Our free summer meal program has started! We are serving meals at a variety of locations and times.

Some things have changed since last year, and the USDA has some rules that have to be followed:

1. Children must be present to receive a meal. Parents are NOT allowed to pick up meals for children.

2. Meals must be consumed on site during the meal service time, this is NOT a "grab & go' program like times during the pandemic.

3. The summer meal program is for children and teen ages 18 and younger (or up to 21 if enrolled in a BSD program).

To view the summer meal schedule, visit BremertonSchools.org/SummerMeals. Questions? Please contact our Child Nutrition Services office at 360- 473-4717.
